I'm going to assume you are right in the middle of Lena Dunham's new show Too Much and are casually/respectfully wondering if Jessica's ex-boyfriend, Zev, is based on Jack Antonoff given the physical similarities. Like, when he starts wearing those thick-rimmed glasses? I screamed.

The verdict is still out, but some things we know for sure? (1) This show is semi-autobiographical, and (2) there are a LOT of public details of Lena and Jack's breakup. That said, their split went down way back in 2018 so chances are you need a quick refresher. To recap: Lena and Jack dated for six years and ended their relationship in early 2018. Lena then wrote a piece for Vogue outlining the specifics of their breakup:

"We sat in our shared kitchen of nearly four years and quietly faced each other, acknowledging what nobody wanted to say," she wrote. "That obsessive connection had turned to blind devotion, and the blinders were coming off to reveal that we had evolved separately (the least shocking reason of all and perhaps the most common). That anger wasn’t sexy or sustainable. That our hearts were still broken from trying so hard to fix it but no longer uncertain about whether or not we could. The finality nearly killed me."

While there are possibly some parallels to theorize between this IRL split and the Zev plot in Too Much, Lena has actually confirmed to Vanity Fair that Zev is not based on just one person.

"That ex-boyfriend is very much an amalgamation of every ex that I’ve had, or that a friend’s had," she said. "It’s this quotidian acceptance of unkindness that eats away at a person over a long period of time and degrades their sense of self. If someone were to say, 'Who inspired that character?' I’d be like, 'Do you have time for me to give you 42 examples?'"
