If you\u2019ve been on Twitter at any point in the last few hours, you may already know that <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/first-look-house-of-gucci-lady-gaga\/\">Adam Driver<\/a>, one of our most celebrated and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/unclick\/swole-kylo-ren-memes\/\" target=\"_blank\">widest<\/a> living American actors, has turned into a centaur. The bizarre metamorphosis from film star into mythical creature was revealed in a leaked ad for <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/naomi-campbell-burberry-tb-summer-monogram-collection-campaign\/\">Burberry<\/a>\u2019s new men\u2019s fragrance, Hero. The spot features an initially bipedal Driver racing across the shore at sunset, then frolicking in the waves with an equine pal as <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/fka-twigs-shia-lebeouf-further-details\/\">FKA Twigs<\/a>\u2019s moody, ethereal \u201cTwo Weeks\u201d plays.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows what actor and horse got up to in the loving embrace of those waters, but it sure seems to have been\u2026sensual. Also, magical! Transformational, even: the image of Driver swimming in the blue depths fades to a shot of him once again on the shore, silhouetted against the gold of the setting sun, standing not on two human legs, but on four horse ones!<\/p>\n<p>Twitter, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%22Adam%20Driver%22&amp;src=trend_click&amp;vertical=trends\" target=\"_blank\">reacted appropriately<\/a>, expressing Adam Driver thirst the likes of which has not been seen in\u2026well, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fZRM9-PJMJk\" target=\"_blank\">a few months<\/a>, actually. But, <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/ed-sheeran-glam-vampire\/\">once again<\/a>, we find ourselves considering another male celebrity reinvention and asking ourselves: <em>is<\/em> it sexy? <em>Is<\/em> centaur Adam Driver actually sexy?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW Burberry Hero ad feat.

Yes, centaur Adam Driver <em>is<\/em> empirically sexy. But we may as well unpack this.<\/p>\n<p>First: Adam Driver. The actor\u2019s sex appeal is arguably a divisive subject. On the one hand, he\u2019s big and brawny. The man is the size of a house, and has a tendency to walk around without much in the way of clothing on. (We have <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/lena-dunham-new-boyfriend\/\">Lena Dunham<\/a>, primarily, to thank for this, if nothing else.) He also seems, generally, to possess the stoic, reserved demeanor of an old school man\u2019s-man. Like, f*ck the gender binary, but also there is just something about a tall drink of water who has never so much as questioned his right to exist in any given space.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Driver skeptics will probably site his kinda goofy face and prominent ears. But if you ask me, his too wide mouth speaks to sensuality. Sure, he has kind of a big pointy schnoz, and catch him at a bad angle and he looks genuinely strange! But that\u2019s all part of his charm! Like how he also seems to have an adorably weird, boyish side\u2014again, thinking primarily of his performance on <em>Girls <\/em>here\u2014the softens his alpha poise.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, any and all doubts about Driver\u2019s sexiness are just moot when you put him next to a horse. Because horses are just sexy. How do I explain this without making it weird? Horses are just these big, majestic, proud animals. Like Driver, they\u2019re a wall of muscle and wild, primal strength. They\u2019re, well, heroic! They\u2019re what people come to save you on! And, well, you put one next to a big, muscly, shirtless dude and\u2026you get what the implication is. I\u2019m not going to spell it out for you. I mean, there&#8217;s a reason why hot dudes are called stallions. Also, have you ever seen <em>Equus<\/em>? Or <em>Reflections in a Golden Eye<\/em>?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30842\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30842\" style=\"width: 827px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-30842\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/07\/E7UtV7oXIAIx8K_.jpg?w=827\" alt=\"Centaur Adam Driver\" width=\"827\" height=\"757\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30842\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Centaur Adam Driver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And so, to our final image of these two symbols of strength and masculine sensuality combined. In ancient Greek mythology, centaurs were represented as both wild, untamed creatures and wise teachers. But Burberry\u2019s version speaks more to the eroticism inherent in being rescued. The fragrance they\u2019re selling us is called Hero, after all, and isn\u2019t desire bound up in hero worship? Isn\u2019t part of the reason some of us are attracted to strength the fact that we long to be protected? Who needs a knight in shining armor when you\u2019ve got centaur Adam Driver, sunlight gleaming on his golden flanks?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29097,"featured_media":30841,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,38,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Adam Driver Is a Fashion Centaur Now\u2026But Is It Sexy?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Good afternoon.
