Let's get one thing straight before we get into this: Lena Dunham kissed Brad Pitt. Awkward as it was, she went for it. She seized the moment and did what most women would do in her shoes. For that, she has earned my respect.
She recently opened up about the exact moment her lips met Brad, and the secret moment they shared afterward on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live!
For several months there has been a very cringe-worthy photo of her trying to give Brad Pitt a kiss, and awkward and embarrassing as it may be, she's owning it.
I wouldn't have been able.
So, first of all, hats off to Lena for fulfilling her destiny.
I couldn't be prouder.
Can we please just take a moment to appreciate Leonardo DiCaprio's face in the background?
That facial expression perfectly describes the theme of this photo.
Last year in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she explained how the paparazzi managed to capture a photo of her flashing Brad her underwear.
Lena, babe, what's going on?
"Was this part of the movie? [Once Upon A Time In Hollywood]," Jimmy asked.
"Certainly no," Lena replied. "That was between takes."
"It's like, an illustrated character of the 1920s, and someone asked 'What's a Cupie doll?' and I said, 'I can show you. I got one right here on my side,'" she said pointing toward her hip.
"And my publicist actually asked me directly not to do it again on this show," she joked.
But let's get back to her awkward kiss.
Which was quite some time ago. But is evidently, still very relevant.
In a recent interview on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live!, she gave fans the whole scoop!
She wanted to make it perfectly clear that she did, in fact, have his consent.
And we are all very happy that she has cleared that up.
I mean, how could we forget?
“Well, the way the internet read it was I had somehow physically accosted him causing him a great deal of stress…"
"I would never force a kiss on Brad Pitt. I respect him far too much as an artist and a friend," she said.
I mean, we had a feeling she wouldn't, but the clarification is great.
“Later that night, because he knew I felt nervous, he took me into a room and we secretly ate pizza," she said.
This is adorable. I didn't think it was possible to love Brad Pitt any more, and now I do.
He gave her his ring. Just like that. Just because she said she liked it.
What an angel.
"And I was super nervous because I was around so many idols of mine and he made me feel pretty cool.”
Now I really want to meet this guy.
