Why is Adam Driver calling out John Oliver? Actor asks ‘Last Week Tonight’ host ‘What the f**k are you doing?’

Over the past year, John Oliver has asked Adam Driver to hurt him in violent ways which, to Oliver, is also sexually satisfying

If you didn't know this already, John Oliver has an unhealthy obsession with actor Adam Driver (as a bit, of course). Over the past year, the 'Last Week Tonight' host has, in true "stan" culture fashion, asked the 'BlacKkKlansman' star to hurt him in violent ways which, to Oliver, is also sexually satisfying. In 2020's final episode of 'Last Week Tonight', Oliver said he has, for the past 12 months, demanded that Adam Driver "demolish me, crush my larynx, you unwieldy boulder". Now, in the very same episode, Driver FaceTimed Oliver to talk about this unhealthy obsession, and he didn't seem pleased.

Driver started off by saying, "Listen to me, what the f**k are you doing? This bit? This bit, this thing you’ve been doing that’s either sexual or violent, this strange, strange bit that for some reason you’ve pulled me into. What is it? When you first started doing it, it was easy for me to shrug it off. But then it kept going on, and on, and on, and on. Stop talking. Do you realize, over this past year, what you’ve asked me to do to you?" He continued, "You realize we’re strangers, right? I don’t know you. And now, random people on the internet stan us. I’m sick of people stopping me on the street and asking me if I’m going to punch a hole in you like a 'Marriage Story' wall. And you know what? You should be ashamed of yourself because you know this was inappropriate."

Oliver kept interjecting sexually charged quips, like, "Especially with those shoulders, I bet," when Driver said he had been shrugging off the host's comments. Driver also, at one point, told Oliver to "stop talking!" and said, "do you realize, over this past year, what you’ve asked me to do to you? 'Collapse on your chest'. 'Tie your fingers in a square knot'. 'Step on your throat'. 'Shatter your knees'. 'Pull your heart out through your ear'. What's wrong with you?" The 'Marriage Story' star ended the bit saying, "Explore the f***ing space, you hollow-boned Mr. Bean cosplayer. Look around you, you under-baked gingerbread boy," to which Oliver replied, "Oh God, that feels good." He then finally conceded saying, "Consider this bit over. It's done."
