LENA DUNHAM plays one of the ordinary “Girls” on the hit HBO show, but in real life the Emmy nominee has turned into a huge diva!
An insider says the star’s sudden success has gone straight to her head – and she’s become a demanding control freak on the set of her popular cable series.
“On hot days, Lena makes a production assistant act as her personal ‘umbrella technician,’” a source revealed. “He’s in charge of waiting outside her trailer and following her everywhere on set to protect her fair skin from the sun.
“Lena also demands that an assistant fetch her lunch and hand-feed it to her. She says she doesn’t want to break a sweat in her show clothes or ruin her makeup.
“On top of that, Lena has someone read all three of the New York daily newspapers every day and write up a synopsis so she can always be up on current affairs.”
As The ENQUIRER previously reported, the 27-year-old Golden Globe winning writer/actress was teased by classmates as a child. As an adult, she’s weathered criticism for appearing nude onscreen despite having a less-than-perfect face and body.
“The nasty comments bothered Lena at first, but now she feels like success is the best revenge,” the source said.
