Recent revelations from Lena Dunham's memoir, "Famesick," have brought renewed attention to Adam Driver's conduct during their time on HBO's "Girls." Dunham alleges Driver exhibited "verbally aggressive" behavior, recounting an incident where he "hurled a chair at the wall next to me" and shouted at her to "WAKE THE FUCK UP."
During a press conference for his latest film, "Paper Tiger," Driver was questioned about these claims. He responded with a lighthearted remark, "I have no comment on any of that. I'm saving it all for my book," which elicited laughter. Dunham's memoir also detailed moments of partnership and confusion over Driver's feelings during the show's initial season, describing him as sometimes "protective" and "loving" despite his temper.
"Paper Tiger," which premiered to acclaim, is set in 1986 and follows two brothers whose scheme to clean the Gowanus Canal goes awry. Adam Driver stars as a former cop attempting to rescue his brother from mobster entanglements.
