Adam Driver has chosen to address Lena Dunham's explosive allegations about him, albeit in a somewhat playful manner. During the Cannes press conference for his film Paper Tiger, as reported by Variety, he shared his mischievous response to the Girls creator and actress' claims in her memoir, Famesick, that he had "sometimes feral" outbursts during their time filming the show. "I have no comment on any of that," he said. "I'm saving it all for my book."
While his comments elicited laughter in the room, according to the outlet, Lena described Adam's alleged "half-man, half-beast" behavior as anything but a joke. She detailed a specific instance when they were practicing lines, stating, "Adam screamed, 'F--KING SAY SOMETHING' and hurled a chair at the wall next to me.'" At the time, Lena was dealing with dissociation as part of her undiagnosed endometriosis. "'WAKE THE F--K UP,' he told me. 'I'M SICK OF WATCHING YOU JUST STARE.'"
Lena also recounted how the pair's intimate scenes stuck out in her mind, as they portrayed the leads and love interests Hannah Horvath and Adam Sackler. She alleged that the "careful blocking" laid out for their sex scenes "went out the window" when cameras began to roll, with Adam allegedly "hurling [her] this way and that" during intimate scenes. "Part of me was afraid that when I turned around, I would find I was suddenly in a full-penetration 1970s porno," Lena admitted. "But after a few mimed thrusts, I called cut."
Despite the Marriage Story star telling her he'd "always love" her when the series wrapped in 2017, Lena wrote that she "never heard from him again." E! News previously reached out to Adam's rep regarding Lena's comments but did not receive a response.
Despite the allegations made in Lena's book, Adam previously expressed how much he loved working with the This is 40 actress. "I love it," he told Larry King in a 2017 interview. "She's very specific in her writing and she's very open with creating a space for everyone to try anything they want to. It really is the best kind of, great, working environment."
