In just a few weeks, fans of HBO’s Girls will be forced to say goodbye to their favourite show after almost five years. And it seems as if Lena Dunham, the creator and star of the show, is likely planning on bowing out with the show’s big finale.

Though she recently said she’d love to do a Girls film, speaking to Rolling Stone, she said she wasn’t going to pursue acting as a career: “I have no interest in doing it for the sake of doing it. I really started by accident because I didn't know who else could play this sort of specific archetype, and I've had an amazing time and amazing luck with it.

“My dad still laughs: ‘How the f**k did you win a Golden Globe for acting? You were cast as a bouncing ball in your school play and you wouldn't stop waving at your mom and me.’ So I don't think that that's really where my future lies.

“Maybe I'm retired.”
