The Life of Adam Driver | Brut

Subscribe to Brut America: https://bit.ly/BrutAmericaYT He went from being a Marine to Darth Vader’s grandson in "Star Wars." He’s been acting since he was a teen but hates watching and listening to his performances. This is Adam Driver. Born on November 19th, 1983, Adam Driver spent the first years of his childhood in San Diego. At age 7, he, his mom and his older sister moved to Mishawaka, Indiana, a blue-collar town, after his parents divorced. In his sophomore year, he got his first role in a play. At age 17, he applied to the prestigious Juilliard School of performing arts because he knew they didn’t check grades. He was rejected, decided to leave his conservative upbringing behind and drove to L.A. to become an actor. At age 18, shortly after 9/11, he joined the Marine Corps. Months away from deploying to Iraq, he dislocated his sternum in a biking accident and was discharged. At age 21, he re-applied to Juilliard and was eventually accepted. In his first year, he met his wife, actor Joanne Tucker. At age 25, he graduated from Juilliard and his career took off almost immediately after. At age 28, he was cast as Lena Dunham’s tortured & sporadic boyfriend in the HBO show "Girls." Both an icon of independent American cinema and a rising Hollywood star, Adam Driver holds a unique place in the American film industry. 📲Watch the newest Brut videos on our mobile apps: ▶︎http://bit.ly/BrutiOS ▶︎http://bit.ly/BrutAndroid Discover More Brut: ▶︎ https://brut.media/us ▶︎ FB:   / brutamerica   ▶︎ IG:   / brutamerica   ▶︎ TW:   / brutamerica   Brut is an international video content publisher covering politics, technology, social justice, culture, and more. #brut #brutamerica #brutdocs
