Drew Barrymore
The actress gushed about her love for the HBO show in a recent interview, saying, "We're the biggest Game of Thrones fans, too. We're like, 'Go Khaleesi, mother of dragons!'" Her husband, Will Kopelman, even gifted her with a handmade GOT-themed t-shirt that Drew wore in a cute snap for People magazine. She explained, "My husband made me the 'Mother of Dragons' t-shirt, and that was so awesome. I was like, 'I just want one picture of me with my two little dragons wearing my husband's handmade t-shirt.' I was over the moon. That to me is everything."

We should hang out and eat some pizza." You can see the rest of their cute exchange here.

Lena Dunham

During a recent interview, Dunham said, "Basically, my life's great passion is the idea of being a guest star on Scandal I want to be, like, a senator who did something wrong." She kind of got her wish when she hosted SNL back in March and acted in a sketch parodying the show.

James Franco
The actor penned a personal essay about the show titled "A Dude's Take on Girls," saying: "Lena Dunham is the ultimate creator, so no matter what she puts the girls through, she is always in control. Her name is always at the end, where it says 'Created by.' They say living well is the best revenge, but sometimes writing well is even better."
