Adam Driver Speaks on Lena Dunham’s Claims in Her Memoir: ‘I’m Saving It All for My Book’

Driver declined to address Dunham’s memoir claims while promoting Paper Tiger, after she alleged violent outbursts and a chair throw on Girls.

  • On Sunday, actor Adam Driver declined to address allegations from Lena Dunham's memoir Famesick during a press conference at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, offering only a terse dismissal.
  • Dunham's April memoir Famesick alleges Driver was "short-tempered and verbally aggressive" while filming HBO's Girls, claiming he screamed and "hurled a chair at the wall next to me" during rehearsals.
  • Dunham wrote she felt she had "lost directorial authority" during intense moments, alleging Driver's behavior included "sometimes feral" outbursts, though they "still felt like partners" during the 2012 season.
  • "I have no comment on any of that," Driver said Sunday, drawing laughs. The 42-year-old quipped, "I'm saving it all for my book," effectively closing the topic.
  • Driver is at Cannes promoting the thriller Paper Tiger, directed by James Gray and co-starring Miles Teller, which premiered Saturday to strong reviews and a seven-minute standing ovation.
