Lena Dunham doesn't envy sexy Victoria's Secret supermodels

Lena Dunham, creator and star of the hit HBO series "Girls," does not envy the stunning beauty of Victoria's Secret supermodels because she wants to be liked for her personality, not her looks.

"I don’t think I’d like it very much," Dunham told Playboy. "There would be all kinds of weird challenges to deal with that I don’t have to deal with now. I don’t want to go through life wondering if people are talking to me because I have a big rack. Not being the babest person in the world creates a nice barrier."

Lena, 26, is content with herself, and says drop-dead gorgeous looks must be a burden because you're always second-guessing people's motives.

"The people who talk to you are the people who are interested in you," says Dunham. "It must be a big burden in some ways to look that way and be in public. That said, I probably would want to see if I could get free food at restaurants."

Interestingly, Lena's sentiments echo similar remarks made by actress Megan Fox, who said she'd never want to trade places with a homely girl.

"I live well with my image. I can't complain," Megan told Jalouse. "I would not trade places with an unattractive girl."

Dunham, who was criticized for being fat by radio shock jock Howard Stern, is comfortable with her body and does frequent nude scenes on her show, "Girls."

"If I could abolish one [interview] question, it would be 'Why are you naked on TV so much?' " says Lena. "I don’t know. Use your imagination."
