Today I learned that Lena Dunham scored a role in Quentin Tarantino’s latest film ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.’ Dunham plays the role of Catherine “Gypsy” Share, a Charles Manson groupie and one of the first women to introduce Brad Pitt’s character to the Manson family.
One of the primo tangential benefits of securing a role in the movie, according to Dunham, was getting the opportunity to flirt with mega hunk Brad Pitt. So much for workplace professionalism!
It’s not every day I get to wear a mumu, go barefoot, flirt with #BradPitt, and join a cult… as a job. Today @OnceInHollywood comes out. Get thee to the theatre to see this gem of cinematic history. https://t.co/ngl9HNy3aY pic.twitter.com/YCg2AlYRCB

Like many of us, Dunham was swept away by Pitt’s infectious smile, sharp features, and boyish charm. The two appeared on the red carpet together in London for the UK premiere of the film, and Dunham knew her time with Pitt was waning. She felt the same sensation our eighth grade selves feel when Stairway to Heaven comes on at the junior high dance and the window to dance with Christina Mills is closing.

My entire body viscerally rejected this photo, and it prompted me to think of other all-time cringeworthy smooches that were documented on camera. So without further ado, prepare for a mouthful of awkwardness.

Yikes I’m glad I’ve been in a relationship for a few years and don’t have to deal with the initial jolt of rejection. When you get a small dose of it daily, it’s much easier to digest.
