Adam Driver Used to Eat an Entire Rotisserie Chicken During Class at Juilliard

Plus, the NLRB rules in favor of McDonald’s, and more news to start your day

More like Kylo Hen, right?

We’ve already established that there is little better than a grocery store rotisserie chicken, and if it were socially permissible to tear apart one of those suckers with our bare hands, we would. So allow Adam Driver to blaze that trail for you. On an episode of the podcast The Film Reroll, Driver’s Juilliard classmate Scott Aiello recalls Driver’s love for rotisserie chicken, to the point where he’d eat a whole one in class. “He would walk around school with an entire chicken in one hand and a jug of water in the other,” he said.

Driver previously told GQ he used to eat a whole chicken every day while he was at school, as well as six eggs for breakfast like a gangly, post-mumblecore Gaston. Showing up to class to gnaw on a chicken carcass while your teacher explains the finer points of script analysis is maybe the best power move. And have you ever seen Driver shirtless? Those are the abs that chicken built! We’re highly anticipating Driver’s next role as the spokesperson for Costco.
