Adam Driver on Massive Weight Loss, 'Star Wars' and 'Girls' Finale: Adam Driver is currently killing it onscreen as a bus-driving poet in Jim Jarmusch’s "Paterson" and as a 16th-century Jesuit priest bringing the good word to Japan in Martin Scorsese's "Silence" (for which he lost a massive 50 pounds). Some can't get the image of Driver out of their heads as the mysterious Kylo Ren in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (he talks about the next film in the series) — that includes a young neighbor in his New York apartment who greets him by saying, "Good morning, Kylo Ren." Adam, who's just finished the final season of HBO's "Girls" (you’ll never guess what souvenir he kept) is clearly one of the most talented and versatile actors around. But his personal stories about his former life as a Marine and what he's still doing for his buddies are equally compelling. * ABOUT POPCORN WITH PETER TRAVERS: This show features the world's biggest stars and top moviemakers.
