Adam Driver said he had “no comment” to recent claims made by Lena Dunham that he was “verbally aggressive” during the filming of Girls.
Driver, speaking at the Cannes film festival press conference for James Gray’s Paper Tiger, was asked to respond to the comments made in Dunham’s memoir Famesick. The creator and star of the HBO series Girls claimed Driver “hurled a chair” at her and was “verbally aggressive” during shooting.
“I have no comment on that,” he responded before jokingly adding: “I’m saving it all for my book”.
Driver also spoke about working with his Paper Tiger co-stars Miles Teller and Scarlett Johansson.
”Scarlett, I’ve known, because we did a movie together before, so there was already a shorthand and intimacy and safety net,” he said, referring to their work in Marriage Story.
”Miles is just an incredible actor, so that he’s available and playful and prepared,” Driver said of Teller, who plays his brother in the film. “It was kind of easy, I just liked him immediately, so we didn’t have to work on it.”
Paper Tiger is Gray’s third time in Cannes Competition. The film follows two brothers pursuing the American Dream who get entangled in a dangerous Russian mafia scheme that terrorizes their family.
Neon has acquired the film for North America.
