Of course, this is not the first time that Dunham has spoken about the media’s obsession with her size. In 2017, she shared a lengthy Instagram post, in which she addressed everyone who dared to publish an article on her “weight loss transformation”.

“I feel I’ve made it pretty clear over the years that I don’t give even the tiniest of s**ts what anyone else feels about my body,” she said.

“I’ve gone on red carpets in couture as a size 14. I’ve done sex scenes days after surgery, mottled with scars. I’ve accepted that my body is an ever changing organism, not a fixed entity - what goes up must come down and vice versa.

“I smile just as wide no matter my current size because I’m proud of what this body has seen and done and represented. Chronic illness sufferer. Body-shaming vigilante. Sexual assault survivor. Raging hottie. Just like all of YOU.”

Dunham added: “Right now I’m struggling to control my endometriosis through a healthy diet and exercise. So my weight loss isn’t a triumph and it also isn’t some sign I’ve finally given in to the voices of trolls. Because my body belongs to ME – at every phase, in every iteration, and whatever I’m doing with it. I’m not handing in my feminist card to anyone.”
