Adam Driver Deflects Lena Dunham Memoir Question at Cannes: 'Saving It for My Book'

The quip offered no rebuttal to claims in Dunham’s memoir.

Overview

  • Driver, asked Sunday at a Cannes press conference for Paper Tiger, replied to a question about Famesick with “I have no comment on any of that. I’m saving it all for my book.”
  • Dunham’s memoir alleges he was verbally aggressive on the Girls set and threw a chair at a wall beside her during a late‑night rehearsal when she struggled with lines.
  • She also writes that their first sex scene turned rough as he moved her in ways that ignored planned blocking, and that he once punched a hole in his trailer wall over a disliked haircut.
  • The pair rose to prominence on HBO’s Girls from 2012 to 2017, and her book says they have not spoken since the series ended.
  • Driver is in Cannes promoting James Gray’s Paper Tiger, which drew a reported seven‑minute standing ovation, as coverage of his brief reply keeps focus on Dunham’s allegations and on‑set boundaries.
