Lena Dunham admits frequent nude scenes on Girls getting tougher to do

Lena Dunham admitted that her frequent nude scenes on HBO's Girls have grown more difficult as the show remains on television.

The 29-year-old New York City native talked about her character Hannah Horvath disrobing for the show in an article on Wednesday by Refinery29.

'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,' Dunham said.

'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,' she added.

The Tiny Furniture writer and director said it wasn't only external pressure that has changed her outlook on nudity. 

'Part of getting older for me has actually been feeling more modest. Unfortunately, Hannah Horvath doesn’t always allow for that. I hope to reprise some of her nudity in this final season with vigor,' she said.

The fifth season of Girls will premiere on HBO on February 21.

HBO last month announced that Girls was renewed for a sixth and final season that will air in 2017.

Lena earlier this month took to Instagram to announce that she will not be promoting the upcoming season following a flare up of her endometriosis.

The show's writer, director and star typically has been heavily involved in promoting the series.

'I am currently going through a rough patch with the illness and my body (along with my amazing doctors) let me know, in no uncertain terms, that it's time to rest,' she wrote.

'That's a hard thing to do, but I'm trying, because all I want is to make season 6 of Girls the best one yet.'

Lena said her responsibilities would be taken over by Girls' executive producers Judd Apatow and Jennifer Konner.
