The official premise reads:

'During the summer of 1957, Enzo Ferrari, reeling from the death of his son Dino, the deteriorating marriage with his wife Laura, and his company's impending bankruptcy, enters his racing team to the 1957 Mille Miglia.'

It co-stars Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Gabriel Leone, Sarah Gadon, Jack O'Connell and Patrick Dempsey.

In an interview with CNN's Chris Wallace, Driver was asked about his comparisons to stars like Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson, which he embraced before adding:

“The New Yorker has also called me a horse-face. I remember reading one reviewer (who said), ‘His agent probably doesn't know whether to put him in a movie or the Kentucky Derby.’ So if you believe the good thing, you have to believe the bad thing. So I try to not absorb anything.”

Wallace took this as an opportunity to probe Driver about how he looks, replying:

“Well, that leads me to the next question I wanted to ask you, which (that) is you don’t look like the typical movie star. Has that been a help or a hindrance?”

Driver is a bit taken aback by the question but responds in a professional manner with a touch of humour for good measure.

“I’ve worked consistently, which is nice, with people I always dreamed that I wanted to work with. I look how I look. I can't change that. So, I guess it helped me," the Star Wars actor explained.

“A hindrance in only breaking mirrors wherever I go, and having a misshapen outsized body that I can't fit through doorways or most clothes or fit into most cars, so apart from that, it's good."
