Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast · Lena Dunham’s Memoir Famesick (with Sierra Teller Ornelas and Brian Bahe) · 28 Apr 2026 podcast

It was in that moment that we made a silent agreement.

We would do what was required to make these scenes surprising, to make them true, to make them sing.

We would trust each other not to abuse the privilege.

It was a rare situation where in the lack of boundaries, there was a safety.

He trusted me to write scenes that weren't gratuitous, had something to say.

I trusted him to try things, knowing that certain lines wouldn't be crossed and others would be, but for the sake of the work.

And I thought that was such an interesting way of describing this relationship where

There was like a deep trust, but also like so much vulnerability that like ultimate trust is impossible, that she wanted to be a boss, but also a collaborator.

And then there was also sort of like an off-screen, off-camera flirtation with each other.

Lena Dunham claims that they, you know, almost hooked up.

And right at the last minute, she sort of put the stop on it, which just sounds like just once again, like boundaries blurring.

It seemed like brother and sister and then also kind of like dating and work wifey.

There was just a lot going on in that sequence.

It's a great depiction of someone trying to figure it out and also just someone who had never done it before.

She talked in the book about how it kind of hit her, like you said, that she would have to be in these scenes and she would actually have to act.

And they're on set for the first time.

And she goes, I was so ecstatic when three bells rang.

A fire alarm, I thought, relieved.

I had been quite literally saved by the bell.

And then it was quickly explained to her that no, like when you start shooting, they ring the bell.
