In a nod to gratitude, Lena Dunham, the mastermind behind the show “Girls”, acknowledged Taylor Swift for facilitating a connection that led to casting an actor in her upcoming Netflix romantic comedy titled Good Sex. Their encounter took place at Taylor’s 2024 Eras Tour concert in London, where Dunham seized the opportunity to offer the role right then and there. Since that moment, the tale unfolds as history would record it.

What did Lena Dunham say about Taylor Swift?

Lena Dunham is thanking Taylor Swift for making the world “go round.”

Recently, Dunham chatted with Variety and disclosed an intriguing tale about casting Meg Ryan for the upcoming movie, Good Sex. The 39-year-old filmmaker explained that she encountered the star of You’ve Got Mail in London during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour performance.

Following their unexpected encounter, Dunham chose to propose the role to Ryan. She declared, “I felt the time was right and I’m going to take a chance. She’s simply wonderful.” The proposal seemed to be successful, and Dunham credits Swift for her part in it. Swift responded, “Thanks for that shout-out, Taylor — you really know how to bring people together.”

After running into each other by chance, Dunham decided to offer the role to Ryan. She expressed, “I felt the moment was perfect and I’d take a gamble. She’s just delightful.” The proposal was successful, and Dunham attributes Swift for her involvement in it. Swift replied, “Thanks for the acknowledgement, Taylor — you have a knack for uniting people.

Over the past nine years, Lena Dunham and Taylor Swift have built an incredible bond that’s as strong as the best friendships in any video game I’ve played. In 2015, I was lucky enough to see myself alongside Taylor in her hit music video “Bad Blood.” And when it came time for me to tie the knot with Luis Felber last year, Taylor stood by my side as one of my bridesmaids – a moment I’ll always cherish like a rare, powerful item in our friendship inventory.

As a gamer, I’ve been to several Eras Tour shows, both in Boston and Pittsburgh. During an interview with The New Yorker, I shared my “guardian” approach towards my well-known buddy. I often find myself fielding inquiries about my friend’s character, as revealed by Lena Dunham.

In a glowing tribute, Dunham praised Swift’s character: “She is everything one could hope for, displaying kindness, dedication, self-awareness, sensitivity, and an incredible sense of humor” (as reported by Billboard).

Meanwhile, it’s been announced that the filming for “Good Sex” has started in New York, with Netflix as the production company. This movie stars Academy Award winner Natalie Portman, who takes on the role of a therapist specializing in couples, as she approaches her 40th birthday and dives into the world of dating in New York City.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m excited to share that Tramell Tillman, star of Severance, is joining the cast alongside me in our upcoming NYC romantic comedy! We’re also looking forward to acting with megastars like Meg Ryan, Rashida Jones, Mark Ruffalo, and Tucker Pillsbury.

Behind the scenes, Natalie Portman and Sophie Mas are producing this project through their MountainA banner, while Lena Dunham and Michael Cohen are backing it via Good Thing Going Productions. Can’t wait to bring this story to life!
