Met her at a heavy metal show in Hollywood, had no idea it was her until after we spoke (and a mutual friend told me) She was so cool and down to earth. She loves metal too!!

Drea, based??? ...beautiful and, an awesome personality to boot. At this moment forward I am now, officially, a HUGE fan of her. Excellent call to have Drea on the show Adam. She needs to become a regular.

I love Drea! Such a cool girl. She contributed greatly to "The Sopranos", one of the best women on the show.

Drea was super cool. I had the privilege of driving her in LA as a chauffeur. She's so down to earth.

👍🏻👍🏻 OUTSTANDING Drea !
It’s so nice and refreshing to see how many people are now waking up.
I met her on the set of Sopranos in North Caldwell, NJ.. when I was working for PD.
We handled security for the entire production and were there at least once a week.

She was the nicest, most generous and kind woman ever.
She heard my young daughter was a huge fan and was so kind to her.
She was just phenomenal and down to earth.

Great Actress and Great American!

Thank you for having Dallas on your show. I enjoy your take on life ( for the most part ) and Dallas is a favorite of mine .

The scene where Carmella is having hallucinations and Adriana is walking Cozette; absolutely stunning.

[LNarciso]

Been recently rewatching The Sopranos GREATEST SHOW EVER!

[pittsky]

Wow Drea de Matteo is down to earth. Excellent interview.

[StephanieBogart]

The Chosen is one of my most favorite shows ever. I never ever thought I’d say “It’s SO GOOD!” about a Jesus show.

[adriandelatorre]

I have been watching for years. This video is without a doubt in my top 5. Thanks!

[richspizzaparty]

Was in love with her on sopranos but even more now. What a great attitude and outlook.

[rayhume]

Came here to hear Drea talk, but at the 20 minute mark I realized that Adam was going to do 85% of the talking.

[walkinlight]

Drea is a beautiful soul! Love her in everything she’s done and she has more balls then most in the ridiculous Hollywood. Watching the propaganda in everything now makes me watch old stuff on streaming. Haven’t been to a theater in years. I’m now a registered independent. Thank you for your incredible body of work and your excellent choices Drea! Can’t wait to see what you do next!

We all had our hopes up that Adriana would discuss her phriggin' role on "The Sopranos" series. That scene on the tennis court with Carmella and Agent Harris doing surveillance. Big, BIG fan of her in that scene. 👉 💯

[benicio]

I have so much appreciation for the way Adam thinks.

[God-dtom]

Adam didn’t slow her to talk enough, great guest, I wish her success in the future. Very down to earth and very real, something you don’t see a lot today in celebrity land

[michellegaal]

Why were there so many cuts in the video? Deletions or things were said that shouldn't of. ????

[Kingofthekop]

All these years later Im still mad that they killed her off, The show was never the same without Adriana and Christopher together. One of the most underrated supporting actress’s of all time.

I love Drea!!! "People think I'm a c*nt, but I'm just shy"
