House Of The Dragon star Olivia Cooke has revealed not the entire intercourse scenes she filmed made it into the ultimate edit.
The British actor performed Alicent Hightower, who turns into the second spouse of King Viserys I Targaryen, within the first season of the Game Of Thrones prequel, and reprises the position within the second run, which is airing now.
In a brand new interview with Elle, Olivia opened up about a number of the present’s notorious intercourse scenes, recalling one particularly that wound up on the chopping room ground.
“It was messy as fuck,” she stated of the “animalistic” and “carnal” sequence. “It wasn’t beautiful, and that was really fun to do.”
On why the scene finally wasn’t used, she claimed that showrunner Ryan Condal felt “we weren’t learning any more about the characters”.
“I disagree with [that] slightly,” she added. “But it’s okay. It’s his show.”
Asked extra typically about House Of The Dragon’s intercourse scenes, Olivia shared: “I thought there’d be way more, and so I’m relieved that when it has been used for me, it’s showing Alicent being pleasured, which is amazing and doesn’t feel gratuitous. It feels like we’re telling a story.”
Olivia lately gave an interview to The Times, through which she shared how she actually felt about taking part in a grandmother within the hit fantasy present, regardless of solely being in her early 30s.
“I have really complicated feelings towards it,” she admitted. “If they can create dragons, they could have made me look younger – and then older. Or maybe they should have cast actors in their forties?”
“It’s strange,” Olivia added. “I bristle a bit because the years between being a teenager and now a grandma on screen were so short for me. There’s real reticence to see women age on screen.”
House Of The Dragon airs on Mondays on Sky and Now.
