Adam Driver Facing Fame

From his breakout role in Girls to making the A-list following his appearances in Star Wars, this unique talent is a force to be reckoned with

There’s almost nothing you can say about actor Adam Driver that’s a turn-off. Uniquely handsome with a baritone voice, Adam’s also happily married, a dog lover and an Oscar nominee – not to mention a graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School in New York, and a former marine who started his own charity.

However, the super-private star, 35, keeps it real, too. ‘I feel like I’ll never get over red carpets,’ he admits. ‘They’re so bizarre and awkward.’ But it’s an awkwardness this in-demand star has had to get used to in recent years!

KEEPING BUSY

Famous for his portrayal of Star Wars villain Kylo Ren and for his Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his role in BlacKkKlansman, Adam first shot to fame in 2012 playing Adam Sackler, who was Lena Dunham’s love interest in the iconic TV series Girls.
