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

His Wife Taught Him a Few Lessons

Adam and Joanne may share a love of acting and work together on a non-profit, but she was the “more evolved” one when it came to style and self-grooming. As Adam put it: “I just kept dressing like a 15-year-old until my wife was basically like, ‘You know, you should wear long pants now. Maybe shorts are good for some people, but not you. And maybe you should get your toe looked at, ’cause, you know, it looks like a turtle shell.’”

Their love also grew stronger thanks to humor…and cheese. Driver told Broadway.com in a 2009 interview that “She taught me what Gouda cheese is. And that you shouldn’t talk with your mouth full and spit on the sidewalk.” So there’s acting, charity, grooming, and cheese. Oh, and humor. Gotta have humor.
