However, according to Lena, Zev is actually a mix of several men in her life.
“That ex-boyfriend is very much an amalgamation of every ex that I’ve had, or that a friend’s had,” she told Vanity Fair in May. “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.”
The Girls alum quipped, “If someone were to say, ‘Who inspired that character?’ I’d be like, ‘Do you have time for me to give you the 42 examples?’”
But one part of Too Much that’s a little more fact than fiction? That would be Jess’ healing relationship with London singer Felix (Will Sharpe), which is loosely based on Lena’s romance with now-husband Luis Felber.
Lena met and married Luis—also an indie musician like Felix—in 2021 after moving to London. IRL, Luis performs under the stage name Attawalpa. In fact, Felix’s finale song “True Love Trajectory” is one of his tracks.
