During a Q&A with Judd Apatow at the Film Society of Lincoln Center Lena Dunham got hilariously candid about how she felt after joining pal Taylor Swift onstage during her 1989 concert.
The 29-year-old Girls star, who joined Tay along with Hailee Steinfeld, Lily Aldridge and Gigi Hadid, admitted even the most confident of women might want to think twice before appearing onstage alongside supermodels.
"I was so thrilled to support my friend and so displeased to learn about the truth of my own height," she declared.
"I've been feeling pretty tall, feeling pretty sturdy, and it was amazing to me, like, 'Oh, I'm not tall, I'm chubby.' It's different. But I mean, on most days, I feel really great and fine about my body, but I don't think standing next to, like, three supermodels or so is anything even the most confident woman needs to do."

"I got all these texts from friends saying, like, 'I just want you to know you're beautiful,' and I was like, 'I didn't ask for that,'" she added. "I shan't be walking that runway again."
However Judd went on to remind the best-selling author that Taylor and her #squad don't exactly look like average women.
"I feel like there's people, and people look like normal people, and then there's, like, Chris Hemsworth and Brad Pitt people, and we can't really compare ourselves to them, because they are aliens."
Oh Lena, we love you just the way you are!
