'Camping' stars Jennifer Garner and David Tennant gush about being fans of 'Girls' and talk about where their show is now headed
Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner's new HBO series 'Camping' starring Jennifer Garner and David Tennant is up and running, and the two lead actors cannot help but gush about the fact that they finally have the chance to work with the creators of 'Girls'. Garner stars as the obsessively, compulsive Kathryn who has arranged a weekend camping trip to celebrate the 45th birthday of her husband, Walt (played by Tennant). While both the actors are playing characters very different from their former genres, the sheer thought of working with Dunham and Konner acted as a big YES to being the show.
Speaking with The Ringer, both Garner and Tennant confessed that the reason behind their liking 'Girls' was the characters. Garner stated that she was introduced to the show by a young nanny who would help her take care of her kids. She explained, "For me, it felt like an insight into—my kids have had an incredible nanny who’s much younger than I am, and I felt like I was watching her life when 'Girls' came on. She was introducing it to me and saying, 'This is how this is now'. And I would say, 'I can’t imagine that!'" Tennant, who too agreed with Garner's statement described 'Girls' as a "fresh and honest and true and funny" show.
