She may have landed a massive book deal on Monday, but Lena Dunham still gets star struck ... at least by Louis C.K.

"I'm intimidated by Louis. He really has this [expletive] this scene [attitude]," Dunham told the LA Times of the "Louie" star. "I saw him get out of his seat 11 times at the Emmys ... His approach to all of this is really interesting ... He came over and gave me a hug and said ‘What you're doing is really important.’ I said, ‘I dressed as you for Halloween.’”

C.K. didn't seem to be thrown off by Dunham's confession that she had impersonated him, but that could have been overshadowed by his Emmy wins.

"Well, I won an Emmy just now," C.K. said when he won the award for Best Comedy Writing. "Mary and Kitty, your daddy won an Emmy." C.K. also took home the award for Outstanding Actor In A Comedy Series.
