Lena Dunham joined Andy Cohen for an exclusive “Front Row” event to discuss her new memoir, “Famesick.”
During their wide-ranging conversation, Lena also shared candid stories about her career, personal growth, and pop culture obsessions. Stream the full conversation anytime on the SiriusXM app, and check out some of the highlights below.
Reflecting on her time working with Adam Driver on “Girls,” Lena described the experience as transformative.
“I learned more from working across from Adam Driver than I’ve learned in my entire life as an actor,” she said. “It was the only time I ever felt like a real actor.”
Fans may not have seen the last of “Girls.” When Andy Cohen suggested a movie, Lena admitted she’s already thought about it.
“I would love to,” she said. “I’ve got a little plot line in my brain.”
While nothing is confirmed, Lena hinted that revisiting the characters at the right time could be meaningful — and that she’d be “a much more fun person to work with now.
One of the more surprising stories Lena shared involved briefly leaving rehab to attend the Met Gala.
“I was like, ‘I have a date that is non-negotiable. I am not going to stand up Anna Wintour,’” she said.
She ultimately made the appearance — under strict conditions — joking that she even had her dress searched for contraband before returning.
Lena didn’t hold back when discussing the latest “Summer House” drama involving West Wilson and Amanda Batula.
“I’m a girl’s girl,” she said, explaining she personally wouldn’t cross the line of getting involved with a friend’s ex — though she acknowledged that if the relationship proves lasting, it may justify the risk.
She also had some fun imagining casting the reality show as a scripted project, suggesting Barry Keoghan, Mikey Madison, and Austin Butler for key roles.
