Christ Alive Lena Dunham Stop Trying To Kiss Brad Pitt Like That, Fuck

Lord, is this ever a thing and a half. Lena Dunham has again walked ass-backwards into a thunderously weird and awkward public moment thanks to her appearance on the red carpet at the UK premiere of Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood, wherein she quite fervently attempted to place a smooch on the cheek of a very uninterested Brad Pitt.

The cast of the star-studded ensemble movie was on-hand for the UK premiere, and photos from the event show the gang gathering quite calmly in a line for a group photo call.

And then, for reasons I or anyone else in this godforsaken office can’t quite explain, Dunham has seemingly used that opportunity to shoot some kind of shot on Brad Pitt.

The close-up photo of the deeply awkward moment is truly something else.

Christ. Christ. Why on earth would you ever go all the way up to fifth gear in full view of press photographers like that? Keep it in third for god’s sake. Just idle it for a bit mate.

How’s Leo DiCaprio in the background going full Hello Darkness My Old Friend too?

Unreal gear.

Remarkably enough, it wasn’t just an unfortunately timed single snapshot either. The entire photo series paints a deeply strange and over-familiar moment that Pitt, bless him, is just not keen to indulge in any way, shape, or form.

Firstly, Pitt arrives on the scene and Dunham, as you probably well would be, is immediately intrigued.

But then it goes from “that’s Brad Pitt!” to “jesus wept don’t do it” in a real big hurry.

No no no no no stop. Go back. Don’t do it.

Bloody hell he’s looking past you for crying out loud.

The man is standing like his whole torso is being yanked backwards by a bungee cord.

Everything about this: Awful. Just awful.

Imagine trying to shoot your shot with Brad Pitt in front of press photographers and he kinda just barely endures it. Imagine that. Imagine bricking it that bloody hard in front of Getty Images photographers. My god.

There’s an important lesson to be learned in all of this. I’m not entirely sure what it is. But it’s there.

“Don’t try to kiss Brad Pitt when he’s clearly not keen”? Something like that? That’ll do.
