Lena Dunham And Claire Danes Are Secret BFFs

Lena Dunham And Claire Danes Are BFF
|

Lena Dunham and Claire Danes won the Emmys red carpet on Sunday night when Danes photobombed (interviewbombed?) Dunham's interview with Ryan Seacrest.

First she lurked up behind the "Girls" star as depicted in this epic GIF.

Then they proceeded to have an even more epic interview-turned-conversation, in which we learned they are secretly BFF ("we grew up near each other") and that they have a HBO vs. Showtime rivalry ("It's very Capulet and Montague." ) In the process they blew Ryan Seacrest's mind, leaving him microphone-less and looking like a third wheel.
