Lena Dunham flashes cryptic thigh tattoo as she directs Natalie Portman and Rashida Jones for Good Sex in NYC

BBG News

On Wednesday, Lena Dunham showcased an infrequently seen tattoo while filming a fresh venture alongside Natalie Portman and Rashida Jones in the bustling city of New York.

39-year-old multi-talented performer was spotted in New York City’s Washington Square Park, where she was directing a movie scene for her forthcoming Netflix romantic comedy titled “Good Sex,” featuring two other actresses.

Immediately following the premiere of her Netflix series “Too Much” featuring Megan Stalter from Hacks and Will Sharpe from The White Lotus season two, which received excellent reviews on July 10, she quickly became engrossed in a new endeavor.

On the film set, Lena was distinctively noticeable, wearing jeans shorts that showcased a tattoo on her left arm bearing the phrase ‘My Beastly Shadow’ and sporting an intricate, wavy artistic motif.

Despite Lena Dunham, the creator of “Girls,” having documented numerous tattoos early in her career and explaining their meanings, these particular pieces of body art have yet to receive any significant attention or commentary.

She appears to have gotten the tattoo sometime in 2020.

It’s unclear if the ‘Beastly Shadow’ of the text could refer to one of her pets.

2018 saw a heartbreaking sequence of events for her as her beloved Yorkie, Bowie, passed away, shortly followed by the loss of her cat, Gia Maria.

It seems that Dunham has resumed her role as a pet parent once more, frequently sharing photos of herself with her canine companion Ingrid on various social platforms.

On a whimsical Wednesday, I donned my favorite black tee and added a pop of vibrant red flats to my laid-back ensemble, just like the captivating Dunham does!

Natalie was seen with her between takes in a ruffled white blouse with a long black ribbon.

She displayed her legs in a sleek black mini skirt, paired with stylish black leather loafers, and complemented the look with a semi-circular black handbag.

Rashida wore a mini dress in deep midnight blue, adorned with a jacket boasting a lattice design in shades of brown and yellow. She also donned strappy beige sandals, but switched to comfortable black clogs when interacting with Natalie and Lena off-camera.

In a new phase of her life, starting her 40s, Natalie – once a dedicated couples therapist – finds herself venturing into the dating scene, hesitantly, as her past romantic endeavors have all fallen short.

The movie additionally features Mark Ruffalo and Tramell Tillman, who rose to fame with Severance, as well as Meg Ryan, who is back in the lead role of a romantic comedy following her past successes in this genre.

In the course of promoting her latest series, Too Much, Lena recently had an interview with Variety for a feature article.

She expressed her strong sense of guardianship towards the actors involved in numerous intimate scenes on the television series.

If someone wants to comment about any of my actors, I typically stay quiet about such matters these days, but in this case, I’m quite serious. I’m prepared to defend them if necessary.

Her remark sparked controversy among certain social media users, who argued that it represented cultural appropriation, and one individual even accused her of mimicking or dressing up as a black woman.

Previously, she mentioned that she felt she hadn’t been cautious enough about safeguarding her own image, especially concerning her role in Girls, due to past experiences of body-shaming.

Additionally, she didn’t shy away from confronting harsh body critics and acknowledged that she has encountered unkind responses to her physique in various places.

As someone who’s walked the path of Hollywood, I’ve experienced its various phases. From being a petite size two, to undergoing changes in my body due to life events, health issues, aging, and menopause – it doesn’t matter where you stand, Hollywood is relentless.
