Lena Dunham Awkwardly Kisses Brad Pitt and Not Everyone Is Happy About It

Girls star Lena Dunham took her flirting with Brad Pitt to a new level on the red carpet but it upset a number of people

Lena Dunham has been pictured planting an awkward kiss on Brad Pitt, as they attended the London of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.

The 33-year-old actress, who is the creator of Girls, is playing a Charles Manson follower in Quentin Tarantino's ninth movie and joked she got 'flirty' with Brad while on set.

And Lena continued to show her affection for the Hollywood superstar as they hit the red carpet on at Leicester Square.

As the A-list lined up for the paps, Lena had co-stars Margot Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio and director Tarantino between her and Brad.

She then made light work of making her way to the side of Brad after the pics were taken and went to plant a smacker on his lips.

Instead of getting Brad full on, it turned into an awkward kiss that caught him only half on his mouth, as he looked a little bemused as to what is happening as she put an arm on his shoulder.

Lena was undeterred and later tweeted her happiness at what had happened.

She wrote: "It’s not every day I get to wear a mumu, go barefoot, flirt with #BradPitt, and join a cult... as a job."

Unfortunately, Lena's actions were not applauded in all quarters, with a number of enraged Tweeters taking aim at her for, what they claimed, was an inappropriate act.

Twitter user FemCondition wrote: "Lena Dunham attempted to kiss Brad Pitt on the lips without consent, call it what it is: sexual assault/harassment. Not ‘surprise.’ Not amusing. Not ok."

Another tweeter called Nuit Elsker wrote: "This is creepy. Sexual harassment can go both ways."

A third commenter also hit out at Lena, writing: "Lena Dunham trying to kiss Brad Pitt is all kinds of yuck. Just typing this made me feel dirty. She's learned nothing."

Mirror Online has contacted Lena's reps for comment.
