Lena Dunham Says Adam Driver Threw a Chair, Screamed at Her While Filming ‘Girls’
Let’s celebrate the girls who took a risk and put herself out there creatively
After all, Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet will be reprising their roles in five-episode revival of the HBO show.
“We always said we would only return to Girls if there was a specific story we were burning to tell,” Dunham, who also created the series, shared in an Oct. 13 press release. “I’ve missed these characters, but for a long time I couldn’t quite picture them in the present day.”
The actress said the comedy’s iconic characters—Hannah Horvath (Dunham), Marnie Michaels (Williams), Jessa Johansson (Kirke) and Shoshanna Shapiro (Mamet) as well as Andrew Rannells’ Elijah Krantz “started talking to me in the shower” around her 40th birthday in May.
“And, as you may remember, once this fivesome starts talking it’s pretty hard to get them to stop,” Dunham continued. “It’s rare that you get the chance to return to something that changed your life with the gift of hindsight and a whole new level of gratitude and understanding.”
