At Cannes, Adam Driver brushed off Lena Dunham’s memoir allegations, saying: “I have no comment on any of that. I’m saving it all for my book.”
In Famesick, Dunham wrote that her former Girls co-star was “verbally aggressive,” screamed at her during a line rehearsal and hurled a chair at a wall beside her.
She also described a Season 1 sex-scene shoot in which blocking “went out the window,” saying Driver physically tossed her around and left her briefly unable to speak.
The exchange came during promotion for Paper Tiger, Driver’s new James Gray film, which received a 10-minute standing ovation at Cannes and was acquired for U.S. release by Neon.

Is Driver's promised book a future revelation or a clever way to silence critics now?
