He Started His Own Fight Club…In High School
Adam Driver has described his younger self as a misfit. He revealed that he was inspired to start a fight club of his own at school, after seeing the film Fight Club. “They had a big grassy field behind f***in’ Celebrations Unlimited, an event space that people rent out to get married or whatever, and we would go out there in the middle of the night and beat the s**t out of our neighbors,” Driver explained to Rolling Stone.

Driver also explained (this time in an interview with NPR) that he also got grounded a lot by his parents. He said that he didn’t get good grades and really wasn’t interested in school, but he was interested in doing plays. “But then, you know, the idea of going to New York or – I don’t know why I didn’t think about – well, actually I did think about California.”
