I still feel exactly as I did when I was 20 years old, looking for an agent and not knowing if any of it would ever come together. It doesn’t feel like 30 years have gone by,” Adam said in his acceptance speech, per Variety.
He also recalled have an obsession with E.T. when he was younger.
“It’s the first movie I saw by myself. I had coerced every single adult in my life to take me to see it,” the Severance star recalled. “Anyone who was a family friend or a relative, it didn’t matter. If you were able-bodied and my mum said it was O.K., you were taking me to see it. One day, when I was sulking because I hadn’t seen it for a day or two, my mum said: ‘Why don’t you just see it by yourself?’ It was a transformative experience.”
The following day, Adam was honored with a handprint ceremony during the festival.
In an interview from last year, Adam admitted he nearly quit acting after not landing a role on this TV series.
