Adam Driver is breaking his silence on the forthcoming Girls reboot — and amid swirling speculation the Star Wars star will make a juicy cameo.
“I wish them the best of luck,” Driver, 42, told CinemaBlend in a Friday, November 6, interview, adding that “nope” there was no chance he would reprise his role of Adam Sackler.
Driver portrayed the on-again, off-again love interest of Lena Dunham’s Hannah Horvath on HBO’s hit series for the duration of its 2012 to 2017 run. HBO announced in October that Dunham, 40, was writing a batch of new episodes to star opposite her OG costars Alison Williams, Zosia Mamet and Jemima Kirke.
“We always said we would only return to Girls if there was a specific story we were burning to tell,” Dunham said in a statement, announcing the series’ return. “I’ve missed these characters, but for a long time I couldn’t quite picture them in the present day. Then, right around my 40th birthday, they started talking to me in the shower. And, as you may remember, once this fivesome starts talking, it’s pretty hard to get them to stop …”
Which 'Girls' Cast Members Are — And Aren't — Returning for New HBO Revival?
She added at the time, “It’s rare that you get the chance to return to something that changed your life with the gift of hindsight and a whole new level of gratitude and understanding. I love these girls (and boy), our friends at HBO and all the people who have continued to discover the show and remind us afresh why we do this, which is the joy of being together… and the chance to wear yellow mesh…”
HBO did not immediately reveal whether Driver would appear in the new episodes, especially after Dunham claimed in her April memoir, Famesick, that the Marriage Story star was “verbally aggressive.”
“One Saturday afternoon, as I reached for a glass of water in his galley kitchen and chatted offhandedly about something meaningless, I looked up to see him smiling at me with something so tender, it felt like it could only have been love,” Dunham wrote of her early dynamic with Driver. “It disarmed me so totally that I dropped my glass.”
What Happened Between Lena Dunham and Adam Driver? Breaking Down the Drama
She added, “Sometimes I’d tell him he made me feel safe. I didn’t yet understand that sometimes you say what you wish were true, instead of just saying what is.”
While Dunham felt like she and Driver initially felt “like partners,” their behind-the-scenes relationship was full of contradictions. She alleged that the Star Wars actor could be “short-tempered and verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing,” yet also “protective” and “loving.”
Driver publicly addressed Dunham’s book claims the next month, telling reporters at Cannes Film Festival that he had “no comment.”
“I’m saving it all for my book,” he quipped in May.
