Pregnant and (nearly) nude seems to be the trend these days.

So not to be outdone, expectant Girls star Jemima Kirke posed topless in a provocative (and very NSFW) Vice photo shoot. The 27-year-old actress also opened up about her past and what finally caused her to grow up.

"I think that way of life [of being young and irresponsible] stopped working for me really quickly," she said. "Some people know how to balance things, at least enough to be able to continue messing around, but I didn't. I was very all-or-nothing about it, and you burn out really quickly if you keep going that way. It really f--ked me."

Jemima, who plays Jessa on Lena Dunham's HBO show, has a young daughter, Rafaella, with husband Mike Mosberg and another baby on the way. "One of the best parts [of sudden fame] is that I can sufficiently support my kids," she said. "At my age that's pretty hard to do without struggling or taking money from my parents, and I don't have to do either. But it has taken a lot of time and energy away from my work as an artist."

She also took a pause from the interview to slam another 26-year-old actress. "Oh, Lindsay [Lohan] strikes again!" she said. "I'm reading the Post and she f--king hit a pedestrian again with her SUV…It was 2:30 a.m., too. That's not a good look."

"No, she definitely hasn't [grown up]," she said. "And I don't think she ever will."

Harsh.
