Lena Dunham revealed a lot about herself this past week.

During an interview with Grantland's Bill Simmons, Lena Dunham revealed that she finds great pleasure in looking through Tumblr Old Loves.

Tumblr Old Loves, for those who don't know, is a site dedicated to old photos of past Hollywood couples.

The "Girls" star, who is currently dating Fun guitarist Jack Antonoff, revealed something about her boyfriend.

Lena Dunham stated in the interview, "The craziest thing that ever happened to me, was like, Old Loves is my passion, I check it like once a week. It's how I kick back on like a Friday night. . . And I was going through it and I saw my boyfriend and his girlfriend from high school."

Once it was revealed that his former lady love was the beautiful Scarlett Johansson, the 27-year-old went on to say, "She's beautiful, he's beautiful, but it was just so surreal to be looking through this blog that gives me so much pleasure and then there's my boyfriend."

Dunham continued, "And I was like, 'My mind is going to explode.'"

According to the Huffington Post, Antonoff and Johansson attended the Professional Children's School in New York together and dated from 2001 until 2002.

The guitarist apparently wrote the song "Better Love" about the actress, which accused Johansson of going fame crazy.

Lena Dunham also revealed this week that she was once fired by HBO.

In the same interview with Simmons, Dunham spoke of the one day she worked on the HBO miniseries "Mildred Pierce."

She said, "Fired might be rough word, but I got sweetly dismissed."

The Golden Globe winner said that it was her own fault and that she "didn't practice" for the role. When her mother said, "they are hiring you to be you," she decided to just roll with it.

Unfortunately, the results weren't so great.
