Adam Driver reacts to Lena Dunham ‘Girls’ allegations at Cannes

Adam Driver is keeping mum about Lena Dunham’s revealing memoir − at least, for now.

During a Cannes Film Festival news conference for the movie “Paper Tiger,” the “Star Wars” actor, 42, brushed off a question about his former “Girls” costar claiming that he screamed and threw things on the set of the HBO show.

When a journalist asked Driver for his response “to Lena Dunham’s portrayal of you in her memoir, and whether your process has changed since your time on ‘Girls,’ ” he immediately shut the topic down.

“I have no comment on any of that. I’m saving it all for my book,” he said, drawing laughs before the conference quickly moved on to the next question.

Lena Dunham on Adam Driver: She describes her costar’s ‘short-tempered’ behavior on ‘Girls’

In his breakout role, Driver played Adam Sackler, the on-again, off-again love interest of Dunham’s character, Hannah, on the HBO comedy “Girls” from 2012 to 2017.

In April, Dunham’s memoir “Famesick” delved into her complicated relationship with Driver while they worked together on the show. In the book, she wrote that Driver could be “short-tempered and verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing,” including in an incident where he allegedly threw a chair when she forgot her lines.

“Late one night, as we practiced lines in my trailer, I found that mine were suddenly gone,” she wrote. “I knew I’d written them. I’d known them only minutes before. But when I opened my mouth, all that came out was a stammer – until finally, Adam screamed, ‘F—— SAY SOMETHING’ and hurled a chair at the wall next to me. ‘WAKE THE F— UP,’ he told me. ‘I’M SICK OF WATCHING YOU JUST STARE.'”

In another incident, Driver allegedly “punched a hole in his trailer wall” because he “hated his new haircut.” Dunham said they “fought often” while working together, typically “about the content of a scene, what it required, and how it would be executed,” though Driver could also “be protective, loving even.”

In one chapter, Dunham detailed a night when Driver came to see her at her apartment, but she didn’t let him in because she felt they were threatening to cross a “boundary” in their relationship. A month later, she wrote, Driver told Dunham he was engaged, and she was “heartbroken.”

According to her book, Dunham and Driver have not spoken since “Girls” ended in 2017.

In an interview with People, Dunham, 40, said she wrote about Driver not to make him seem like an “outlier,” but to explore how “being around this very talented, charismatic, complex and powerful person affected me in ways that were really positive and in ways that were a bit harder.”

Dunham also said on “Today” that her experience with Driver was a “dynamic that a lot of young women can understand from the workplace,” adding that she hopes people read what she wrote about him “in context, and understand it in the totality.”
