HBO’s hit show Girls has picked up lots of momentum over the last couple seasons and has drawn a diverse group of fans — among them is actor Idris Elba.
Elba is admittedly a big admirer of the comedy-drama series — so much so that he tweeted the show’s creator, Lena Dunham, and pitched himself to join the cast.
@lenadunham Very funny woman. Can I come do a scene on your show?…i promise, NO selfies…:)

Moments later, Dunham responded:
@idriselba You are a pure pleasure, an honor to share the couch with you #selfiesforever

@idriselba PS thank you for calling me a woman, it made me feel all tingly inside <3
