Dunham, 40, alleged in her book that Driver, 42, was “verbally aggressive” and once threw a chair while filming her HBO series Girls, in which the Star Wars actor played her on-and-off love interest during all six seasons from 2012 to 2017. When asked about the claims Sunday at the Cannes press conference for his new film Paper Tiger, Driver kept his response brief. “I have no comment on any of that. I’m saving it all for my book,” Driver said in a video shared by Deadline, sparking laughter from the audience. Neither Driver nor Dunham returned The Independent’s request for comment on his statement. Adam Driver has spoken out about Lena Dunham’s claims regarding his behavior on the set …

Lena Dunham Remembers the Downsides of Working with Adam Driver

Published by Sam Flores

Following the recent success of the Netflix series Too Much, Lena Dunham has released her memoir, Famesick, which she is busy promoting in a series of interviews with international news outlets. In conversation with The Guardian, the actress and director talked about the difficulties she had on set with Adam Driver, who played her character Hannah’s on-and-off boyfriend in Girls. The HBO series, which aired six seasons from 2012 to 2017, was a great springboard for Dunham, the project’s star and showrunner—but it was not without its rough spots. In Famesick, Dunham says Driver would habitually yell on set, once even throwing a chair against the wall next to her and puncturing the wall of his trailer with a fist. “At the time, I didn’t have the skill to … it never entered my mind to say, ‘I am your boss, you can’t speak to me this way,’” she said. “And, at that point in my 20s, I still thought that’s what great male geniuses do: eviscerate you. Which is weird, because I was raised …

Between the more dramatic – and, indeed, salacious – revelations in Lena Dunham’s new book, she’s also treated Girls fans to some intriguing behind-the-scenes tea. In her new memoir Famesick, the Emmy nominee has opened up about some of the A-list stars who tried out for roles in Girls, only to not make the cut. While she didn’t name which parts the actors were trying out for, she listed Marvel star Elizabeth Olsen, Fifty Shades actor Dakota Johnson, Black Mirror’s Cristin Milioti and comedian Amy Schumer, claiming they were all seen “several times” about appearing in the show. Dakota Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen Jordan Strauss/AP/Evan Agostini/Invision/ She also claimed: “I recognised a woman named Allison Mack from Smallville; she wasn’t right for any of the roles but invited me via email to her ‘intimate women’s group’ every week for the next year (there but for the grace of God go I).” In 2021, Allison Mack was imprisoned over her involvement in the sex-trafficking cult NXIVM, after pleading guilty to charges of racketeering and racketeering conspiracy. …

Lena Dunham, ‘Famesick,’ and the Limits of Self-Exposure

Lena Dunham, ‘Famesick,’ and the Limits of Self-Exposure

Published by Daniella Wilson

Recently, idly researching, I happened upon a Vanity Fair video from about a decade ago in which a 29-year-old Lena Dunham, wearing a shiny olive blazer with her cropped hair swept into a quiff, speculates what the future will bring. “In 2025, I think that feminism is no longer a dirty word,” she says confidently. “I think that we’re probably on our second female president? If our president’s not female, they’re definitely down with calling themselves a feminist because they recognize it’s the sexy thing to do and it’s gonna get them laid. Our first female president’s gonna be Hillary Clinton, unless there’s a real last-minute dash by Viola Davis.” It might be enough to make you weep: the blithe optimism, the cutesy cheek, the Buzzfeed-esque title (“Lena Dunham: 8 Thoughts on Feminism”), the corporate–meets–Hot Topic styling, the ease with which Dunham proclaims that things will only get better. Were we ever so young? When the video was published, Dunham’s precocious HBO show, Girls, was heading into its penultimate season, its creator having long since …
