With all the people at home due to the global pandemic due to the coronavirus, social network companies have had to pay attention to what their users are saying, especially those who are looking for a pretext to “cancel” some celebrities for not being politically correct, the most recent was Adam Driver and fans had to squad up on Twitter to defend him.
The actor in the new Star Wars trilogy revealed that he had a past serving the US military, which was not to the liking of many people.
The #AdamDriverIsOverParty became popular on Twitter after some realized that Driver was a Navy veteran, who decided to join the military for his own reasons.
Driver joined the United States Marine Corps shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, like thousands of other Americans.
He served for almost three years before receiving a medical leave due to a dislocated sternum. He attended the Julliard School shortly after, thus beginning his incredible acting career. He even sought to reward his former colleagues by creating his non-profit organization “Arts in the Armed Forces” (AITAF).
Through that organization, Driver and several other actors travel to various army headquarters, in the United States and abroad, to perform theater scenes for resident troops.
With all that said, it didn’t take long for Star Wars fans to come to Driver’s on Twitter:
Adam Driver wanted to join the Marines after 9/11 so that he could fight for his country. Now a bunch of Fart-Sniffers on Twitter want to cancel him. I couldn't make this stuff up.#AdamDriverIsOverParty pic.twitter.com/5wzZB9bfSj

"He’s an absolute pleasure. He works independently with real proper ambition. He brings a lot to the table. He’s a wonderful actor and a very kind, generous human being."

Fans upheld Adam Driver on Twitter, noting that his reasons were personal and highlighting his achievements in films like ‘Girls’, ‘This Is Where I Leave You’, ‘BlacKkKlansman’, ‘ Marriage Story ‘ and, of course, his portrayal of Kylo Ren in the new Star Wars trilogy.
