Adam Driver Sneaks Out of Cannes Premiere, Revealing a Self-Watching Ritual

At Cannes, Adam Driver walked the red carpet with Miles Teller and James Gray for Paper Tiger, but after the Lumière Theatre went dark he slipped out of his seat to avoid watching himself, explaining he has a ritual that lets him sneak back in later from a room overlooking boats. Gray praises Driver and discusses writing parts for him, the autobiographical threads in Paper Tiger, and the balance between artistry and Hollywood’s market pressures, including his belief that the industry can humiliate artists. Early reviews for Paper Tiger are glowing, with praise for Driver’s performance and Gray’s blend of crime thriller and family drama.
