Lena Dunham wears red feather dress at Met Gala
Lena Dunham arrives at the Met Gala 2026 in an eye-catching red feathered dress.
Adam Driver is remaining silent about Lena Dunham’s revealing memoir, at least for now.
At the Cannes Film Festival press conference for his film Paper Tiger, the Star Wars actor, 42, brushed off questions about his former Girls co-star, who he claims yelled and threw things on the HBO show’s set.
When a journalist asked Driver for an answer, “Lena Dunham portrayed you in her memoir and whether your process has changed since Girls,” he quickly drops the topic.
“I have no comment on that. I’ll save it all for my book,” he said, eliciting laughter before the meeting quickly moved on to the next question.
Driver got his break playing Adam Sackler, the on-again, off-again love interest of Dunham’s character Hannah, on the HBO comedy Girls from 2012 to 2017.
In April, Dunham’s memoir, Famesick, delved into her complicated relationship with Driver, her co-star on the show. He writes in his book that Driver can be “hot-tempered, verbally aggressive, condescending, and pompous,” including an incident in which he allegedly threw a chair when he forgot his lines.
“Late one night, as I was practicing my lines for the trailer, I realized that my lines were suddenly missing,” she wrote. “I knew what I wrote. I only knew it a few minutes ago. But when I opened my mouth, all that came out was a stutter. Finally, Adam yelled, ‘Say something,’ and threw a chair against the wall next to me. ‘Dude, wake up,’ he told me. ‘I’m tired of just staring.’
In another incident, a driver allegedly “cut a hole in the wall of his trailer” because he “didn’t like his new haircut.” Dunham said that while working together, they often “quarreled a lot” “about what the scene was about, what it needed, and how it was executed,” but Driver was “protective and even affectionate.”
In one chapter, Dunham details a night when Driver came to meet her at her apartment, but she didn’t let him in because she felt he might cross the “line” of the relationship. A month later, Driver told Dunham he was engaged, and she was “heartbroken,” she wrote.
According to her book, Dunham and Driver have not spoken since Girls ended in 2017.
In an interview with People magazine, Dunham, 40, said she wrote about Driver not to make him seem like an “outlier” but to explore “how being around this incredibly talented, charismatic, complex, powerful person affected me, both in a really positive way and in a slightly difficult way.”
Dunham also told Today that her experience with Driver was “a dynamic that many young women can understand from the workplace,” adding that she hopes people can “read what she writes about Driver in context and understand it as a whole.”
