At last night’s Cinema Society screening of People Like Us, Vulture asked Zosia Mamet, Girls’ virgin-no-more Shoshanna, to weigh in on whether or not her character is in fact an “anti-hipster,†as Alex Karpovsky, a.k.a. Ray, told us she was last week. In the sense that Shoshanna openly “gives a hard, hard shit,†Mamet reflected, then yes, she’s an anti-hipster. “Any hipster would never, ever want to reveal that,†she explains. “It’s the antithesis of hipsterdom.â€Â (Take note, Bushwick residents: Zosia Mamet is on to you.) A few beats later, she told us that fans are often “weirded out†when they realize she’s nothing like her character in real life. But, actually, we’re not so sure about that; when we asked if she’d heard that Bloomberg is a fan of Girls, she responded thusly: “Oh my God! [Squeals.] That’s incredible. I did not hear that. A-mazing. I love that.†Sure sounds like giving a hard, hard shit to us!
