Adam Driver has responded to Lena Dunham’s behind-the-scenes drama claims from the time they worked together.

The Too Much creator and the Marriage Story actor worked together on her sitcom Girls which ended nearly a decade ago and in her explosive memoir Famesick the former detailed their tumultuous relationship along with some questionable behaviour.

During the Cannes press conference for his latest film Paper Tiger, the actor was inevitably asked about the allegations when he responded “I have no comment on any of that. I’m saving it all for my book,” which made the people in the room laugh.

Meanwhile the allegations made by Dunham regarding Driver in her book were that, “he could be short-tempered and verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing.”

Detailing an incident of such behaviour while on the set of Girls the writer disclosed that one night the duo were practicing line in her trailer when her were suddenly not there.

Dunham added that she couldn’t manage to get the lines out and stammered which seemingly sent Driver into a rage as he screamed at her and even threw a chair at the wall next to her.
