Adam Driver isn’t spilling about his ex-co-star’s juicy new tell-all… at least not yet.
The Marriage Story actor dodged a reporter’s question about Lena Dunham‘s bombshell memoir Famesick during a Cannes Film Festival press conference for his upcoming flick Paper Tiger on Sunday.
“I have no comment on any of that. I’m saving it all for my book,” Driver deadpanned, sending the Grand Palais press room into a fit of laughter.
In her tell-all, Dunham didn’t exactly play nice about her former Girls leading man. The HBO creator described Driver as “something feral,” branding him “half-man, half-beast” during their time on the hit series.
She also alleged the star “hurled a chair at the wall” next to her and was, at times, “short-tempered and verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing.”
That wasn’t the whole story, though. Dunham added that Driver could also be “protective, loving even,” and admitted she “spent an inordinate amount of time wondering if Adam liked me.”
Despite the drama, she insisted the two “still felt like partners” during the show’s debut season.
Driver, who played Adam Sackler opposite Dunham’s Hannah Horvath from 2012 to 2017, has long kept his personal life under wraps. So a tit-for-tat memoir war? Don’t hold your breath.
The Star Wars alum, who is gearing up to promote James Gray’s Paper Tiger on the Croisette, has yet to publicly slam back at his old castmate’s tea-spilling tome.
Until then, the Oscar nominee is letting the imaginary book do the talking. Stay tuned, folks.
