Adam Driver was asked at the Cannes press conference for Paper Tiger about the acerbic claims made about him by Lena Dunham in her latest memoir Famesick, and well, he shut it down.
“I have no comment on any of that. I’m saving it all for my book,” said the 2x Oscar nominee.
In the book by the Girls creator and star, Dunham writes that Driver was “verbally aggressive” and “hurled a chair at the wall next to me.”
Paper Tiger is James Gray’s sixth Cannes world premiere, received a ten-minute standing ovation last night, 2x as long as the filmmaker’s previous 2022 film that was here, Armageddon Time.
Neon acquired U.S. on Paper Tiger soon after it was announced for an in-competition play at Cannes.
The movie, starring Scarlett Johansson, Driver and Miles Teller, follows two brothers who pursue the American Dream but get entangled in a dangerous Russian mafia scheme that terrorizes their family. Bonds are tested and betrayal boils.
