Adam Driver may be known for leading critically acclaimed films like “BlacKkKlansman” and blockbusters like “Star Wars,” but his career first gained steam on TV in Lena Dunham‘s HBO series “Girls.” The show has been in the news again recently as Dunham’s memoir, “Famesick,” revealed behind-the-scenes drama including claims about Driver’s on-set behavior.

In the book, Dunham alleged that Driver was at times “verbally aggressive” and once “hurled a chair at the wall next to me.” At the Cannes press conference for his latest film “Paper Tiger” on Sunday, it didn’t take long for Driver to be asked about the claims.
