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.

Paper Tiger: A Brutal Ballet of Family and Crime

James Gray’s Cannes competition entry Paper Tiger fuses a bruising, operatic crime thriller with a sharp domestic drama set in 1980s Queens. Led by Adam Driver’s magnetic Uncle Gary, who pulls his brother Irwin and his family into a dangerous Russian mob scheme, the film pairs Johansson’s fierce, fear-haunted performance with Miles Teller’s conflicted portrayal of a man drawn toward peril. The story’s momentum crescendos from a tense family ruse to a chilling confrontation with violence, underpinned by a haunting score and precise craft, and grounded by a sobering meditation on wealth, power, and the costs of chasing the American Dream.

Dunham’s Famesick details a volatile, intimate bond with Adam Driver

In her memoir Famesick, Lena Dunham recounts an intense, sometimes turbulent relationship with Adam Driver from the early Girls days, portraying him as both a brilliant collaborator and a volatile presence. She describes a charged first sex scene in which Driver’s improvisation crossed boundaries, instances where he hurled objects, and a dissociative episode she endured. The memoir sketches a deep, complicated creative partnership—an adult awakening marked by passion, intensity, and eventual distance after Driver’s engagement and their tearful good-bye scene. Dunham notes they were 25 and 27 respectively during season one, and the piece notes Driver’s reps did not respond at publication.
