Lena Dunham Felt 'Chubby' While Onstage with Taylor Swift & Her Supermodel Crew

Considering the amount of times actress Lena Dunham has been nude or next-to-nude in her HBO series, Girls, it is hard to imagine her being insecure about her curvy body. But when Taylor Swift brought Lena Dunham, Gigi Hadid, Lily Aldridge and Hailee Steinfeld out to perform with her during her MetLife Stadium night of her 1989 World Tour, Lena admitted that she felt a little out of place being on stage with Swift's supermodel gang.

While talking to Judd Apatow at a talk hosted by Film Society of Lincoln Center on Monday, Dunham expressed her insecurities about being on stage with those taller, thinner women. She said, "I was so thrilled to support my friend and so displeased to learn about the truth of my own height. 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." She added, "The minute I caught sight of myself on the Jumbotron, I knew something was very wrong."

She also commented on the feedback she got from her friends after they saw her on stage, including her boyfriend Jack Antonoff, who found the height difference very amusing. She said, "And my boyfriend made it his screensaver, because he thinks it's so funny to just look at the height difference and look at all the people in makeup, and then me, like [makes face]. And that's the reaction that's like, 'Get the f*ck out!'"
