    Lena Dunham enjoyed a creative reawakening after moving to London

    The 39-year-old star was born and raised in New York City, but Lena's decision to move to London and marry Luis Felber has reignited her creative spark


    The Girls creator - who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Soho - told Variety: "In my 20s, I had never had anything even resembling writer's block. I didn't even know what it was. But post-Girls, I felt run-down and unsure of what I wanted to make. And then one day, I just woke up to a real creative fervour."

    Despite this, Lena admits that she can feel like an outside on the London social scene.

    She said: "I tend to ask lots of questions, and if someone is open to hugging, I will usually hug them - and sometimes I have trouble modulating the volume of my voice. All of those things, people seem to almost find suspicious."

    Lena's latest project is the Netflix series Too Much, which has been partially inspired by her own life experiences.

    She shared: "It's certainly not quote-unquote based on a true story, but like everything I do, there is an element of my own life that I can't help but inject."

    Lena shot to international stardom on the back of Girls, and the actress now admits that she wasn't ready to cope with the pressures of fame and success.

    She explained: "When fame came, I felt like, 'I have to play this out,' because attention on the thing you make is going to let you make more.

    "I just was very unguarded. I didn't understand the difference between journalists and friends, between public and private, what you keep for yourself, what you share. There was so much that I didn't get."

    Meanwhile, Lena recently claimed that she's matured a lot since starring in Girls.

    The TV star has often been outspoken on social media and in interviews, and Lena admitted to making a lot of mistakes during her 20s.

    She told the BBC: "We all have to acknowledge our own complexities and sensitivities but it's hard to wrap your head around that when you're in your 20s."
