From the Army to Hollywood: How Ex-Marine Adam Driver Became an A-List Actor

That’s a Lot of Kissing

At one point in the 2000s, Driver was really thriving in the theatre world, playing important roles in two different plays at the same time. One was an LGBT-themed play called Slipping, and the other was a period drama piece called The Retributionists. And one part about being in these plays was that he found himself (in his own words) “making out with four people a day.” That’s gotta be tiring…

He would first kiss two women during rehearsals for The Retributionists during the day, and then he would have to kiss his male co-star while practicing for the play Slipping in the evening. And by the end of the night, he would come home to his girlfriend (now wife), Joanne. According to Adam, he went through “a lot of mouthwash and toothpaste before [he] got home.”
