The Oscar-nominated actor goes shirtless to race with a horse and transforms into a centaur in this Burberry campaign

Adam Driver has been picked to star in the new Burberry Hero campaign. Directed by Jonathan Glazer, a seasoned music video filmmaker who has worked with Massive Attack, Jamiroquai and Radiohead, the campaign film shows off the Oscar nominee's lean and toned physique as he runs with a wild horse on the beach.

At the end of the film, it seems that Driver has transformed into a centaur. Read what you will into the imageries, but the press notes state: "The campaign presents a man in search of freedom and personal transformation—no longer held back by preconceptions. An exploration of oneself and a respect for the majesty of the natural world."
