Hollywood’s Hidden Heroes: You Won’t Believe Which Celebrities Served in the Military!

Adam Driver – Lance Corporal, U.S. Marines

Adam Driver, known for his towering presence and intense performances in movies like “Star Wars,” has a backstory that’s just as compelling as his on-screen characters. Before he was navigating the galaxy, Adam was navigating the challenges of military life. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps shortly after 9/11, driven by a sense of duty.

Serving from 2002 to 2004, Adam found himself stationed at Camp Pendleton, California. Though he never saw combat, his commitment as an 81mm mortarman earned him the rank of Lance Corporal. In a twist of fate, an injury led to his discharge, steering him towards Juilliard and, eventually, to Hollywood fame.
