00:55 turned auto magnate Enzo Ferrari.
00:57 The film takes place in 1957 as the title entrepreneur
01:01 faces personal and professional setbacks
01:03 while fighting to build his empire.
01:05 Due in theaters over Christmas,
01:07 "Ferrari" co-stars Penelope Cruz and Shailene Woodley.
01:10 This isn't the first time Adam has portrayed
01:13 an Italian icon.
01:14 The "Star Wars" villain previously earned praise
01:16 for his work as fashion mogul Maurizio Gucci
01:19 and Ridley Scott's House of Gucci
01:21 opposite Lady Gaga and Jared Leto.
01:24 Adam joined the A-list cast for an interview
01:26 with Access Hollywood's Zuri Hull in 2021
01:28 where he reflected on working with the music superstar.
01:32 Adam, what was working with Gaga like for you?
01:34 Wow, that's really hard to, I mean, it was great.
01:39 All the, you know.
01:41 It was horrible.
01:42 No, it was not, from the, you know, start to the end.
01:46 You're working with an actor who's incredibly prepared
01:49 and incredibly open and is unprecious
01:54 about what she's doing and, you know,
01:57 what we've been saying all morning
01:59 and all the things that you do
02:00 of being, knowing as much as you can
02:02 and then being willing to throw it out.
02:03 It's like working with a great actor.
02:06 So there's no, like, I don't analyze it.
02:09 You're just responding to someone
02:11 who's right in front of you.
02:12 She's not overthinking anything.
02:15 She's not outside of the character watching herself.
02:19 You know, she's totally present with where you go
02:24 and not trying to say that I've done this,
02:27 so I'm trying to push the movie
02:29 or the character a certain way.
02:31 She's responding, you know,
02:33 what it's like working with great actors.
02:35 And I'd say that about, I mean, we didn't work together,
02:37 but I'm assuming it's the same with everyone.
02:40 What we were talking,
02:41 I don't remember the first days of shooting.
02:42 I just don't technically remember what the scene was,
02:45 but I think everyone was kind of doing that.
02:47 There was a mutual admiration society
02:49 and everyone had a different way of doing it.
02:50 And if it taught you anything,
02:52 it's like your way isn't right necessarily,
02:55 'cause there is no such thing.
