Lena Dunham becoming more modest with age

Girls actress Lena Dunham says she is becoming more modest with age.

The 29-year-old actress previously had no qualms about stripping off for her role as Hannah Horvath in her TV series Girls but admitted that as she has gotten older, she is less likely to ditch her clothes on screen, reported Female First.

"When I first started the show, I wasn’t in a relationship, no one knew who I was, I was just kind of living for the work. So when I took my clothes off on camera, it was just an extension of that.

"It didn’t occur to me that in the first season, TV critics and people on the Internet would be seeing this. Now, for better or worse, when I take my clothes off, I already can hear the din of the reaction. Part of getting older for me has actually been feeling more modest," she said.

Dunham, however, won’t remain fully clothed in the sixth and final series of Girls, which will air next year.

"Unfortunately, Hannah Horvath doesn’t always allow for that. I hope to reprise some of her nudity in this final season with vigour," the actress said.
