Lena Dunham Gets Naked For SNL Spoof Of Girls
Posted on Sun Mar 9th, 2014 10:55am PDT By X17 Staff
Lena Dunham is just a naked girl, standing in front of a live audience, asking them to like her.
The actress made her Saturday Night Live hosting debut yesterday. In addition to a handful of standout sketches, she left her mark with a parody of her HBO sitcom Girls .
The video doubles as a spoof trailer for Biblical Movie, in which she stars as a fully nude Eve. Lena and SNL's Taran Killam, who plays Girls' Adam Driver playing Adam, walk naked through the Garden of Eden as they struggle to define their relationship.
The voice of "God" announces, "Before there were Girls, there was the first girl" as Lena strolls through a lush green landscape with parts of her body digitally blurred.
In the highlight of the segment, she sits on the ground hugging her knees in a pit of dozens of half-eaten apples. "I know I committed original sin, but at least it’s original," she tells "God." "Give me some credit for that or at least a publishing deal."
"A.O. Scott" put it best in his faux review excerpt that flashes on the screen: "Even for Adam and Eve, there's a lot of nudity."
