Game of Throne lovers are screaming winter is here! They can’t wait for the new premiere of this beautiful TV show’s final season.
Fans all over the world are waiting to see how this fantastic movie ends for their favorite characters.
In this article, we have compiled some very interesting things that we think you should know about each of your Game of Thrones stars.
Emilia Clarke and Nudity
Emilia Clarke is one actress with a no-nudity clause in her contract. However, to play the role of Daenerys Targaryen, the mother of dragons, she had no choice but to go nude.
Emilia Clarke said it was just a wonderful, strong moment that she wanted to own. It was a real empowering girl power scene.
Adding that “I was so thrilled with it. it’s not a sexy scene, she’s not naked for no reason, it’s not greater shows she’s naked because she just destroyed her enemies in this almighty blaze after they underestimated her- how could I say no?”
Lena Headey and the Walk of Shame
Lena Headey is playing the character of Cersei Lannister, and during the finale of season 5, she had to atone for our sins by walking on the streets completely naked while someone shouted shame as she walked.
However, when the scene was shot, Lionel was pregnant, so a body double had to be used.
According to her during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, “I’ve done nudity. I’m not opposed to it, but I know I’m a very emotional actor, and I get driven by that.”
She went on to add that “the thought of being naked for three days and trying to contain her in the way she would be I think I would feel very hungry I didn’t want to be angry.”
Cersei and Bronn
If you are a serious Game of Thrones fan and you have been following it from the very first season, you would realize that Cersei and Bronn never shared a scene.
The reason for this is that Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey were once in a long-term relationship.
After their relationship ended, both of them were not on the best of terms. Having them on the same scene would not have been healthy for work.
Jon and Daenerys
Ever since the Game of Thrones first premiered, people have wanted Jon and Daenerys to have a very romantic relationship.
However, for the actors and actresses who played these characters, the reverse was the case.
In an interview with Vogue, Harrington shared that ” if you’ve known someone for as long as six years and they are best friends with your wife and you are also best friends with them, there is something strange and unnatural about doing a love scene with the same person.”
Doran Martell
Alexander Singleton, who played Doran Martell in the Game of Thrones, shared with startech.com that he felt there was something wrong with that because he had previously been contracted for four episodes of the following season.
If he was going to die at the end of the last season, why did they have to contract him for four episodes?
Talking about why he thought he had to get killed later, he said, “There was an enormous amount of fun and excitement when I got named to be on the show, and everybody was like, ‘Oh my god, yes, Doran Martell. He is going to be great as Doran Martell.’
That just might have been the kiss of death, maybe the products didn’t want quite that much attention on my character, or perhaps I just screwed up somewhere; maybe I said or did something wrong to the wrong person.”
Sophie Turner
Sophie Turner was only 13 years old when she got the role of Sansa Stark. The teenager first learned about sex on the show.
It was quite a strange way to get sex education as a teenager said, “The first time I ever found out about oral sex was from reading the script. I was 13.
I said, wow! People do that that’s what anything I’ve been doing a read through, and we’ll be talking about very graphic stuff I guess that was my sex education is on the game of thrones”.
Arya and the Hound
Arya is undoubtedly one of the most dominating female characters in the Game of Thrones. Many fans are in love with the partnership between the hound and Arya.
Also, Rory McCann, who plays the role of the hand, has talked about his working dynamics with Arya Stark, played by Maisie Williams.
The hound said, “Maisie is just such an amazing actress. She is very clever and very bright. She typically knows everything.
She’s a real help to me because I’m a bit goofy and a bit that I forget where I am in the story, and she knows my lines, my story, where we are, what’s going on, and the reason we are there. I get in trouble by pulling faces, and she keeps me in check.”
Iwan Rheon Wanted to Be Jon Snow
Iwan Rheon was the actor who played the role of the ruthless Ramsay Bolton. However, the actor went for the audition to get the part of Jon Snow.
Iwan said, “I auditioned for the pilot of the Game of Thrones and was down to the last two for Jon Snow.
Ramsey is the complete opposite; somewhere in my mind, I secretly thought I was Ramsey.
One thing we can all agree on is that Ramsay Bolton is the character that suits him best.
Joffrey
Joffrey is my favorite character, and I’m sure he’s a lot of people’s favorite character because he turns out to be the most savage of them all.
Jack Gleeson played Joffrey Baratheon, and the actor wanted to show some vulnerability that the character might have possessed.
“I also try to find the most sympathetic side of Joffrey. It’s quite a tiny side and not one that people might necessarily see, but there was that side. He was insecure; he also wanted a stable family environment and needed to be loved. I enjoyed playing that character and the crazy psychopathic stuff, too.”
Peter Dinklage
Peter Dinklage, the dwarf, played Tyrion Lannister. According to the actor, the role was essential to him because the character did not come out as some caricature of a dwarf.
Tyron Lannister said, “I love the lord of the Rings in movies and books, but just like elves, dwarves are represented as a different kind of creature.
In those stories, they are not humans.” He went on to share that “we don’t have elves walking around in real life, but we do have dwarfs like myself. We are real, so it’s nice to be humanized in fiction for once, especially in this movie, where George RR Martin was clever enough to make a dwarf a fully fleshed-out human being”.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Jaime Lannister is a very complicated character. He has three kids with his twin sister, Cersei, and he is not even close to being the father of the year.
However, Costa has talked about how we did not let his real-life children watch this show.
According to him, work is work, and it shouldn’t be something he can sit down with his family and enjoy.
He feels it will be weird for his kids to see their father pretend to be someone he is not on television.
It is also not cool to see your father making out with another woman, even if it’s just a movie.
Petyr Baelish
There has to be one thing with this character: you either love or hate him. Aidan Gillen, the actor who played Petyr Baelish, shared how he was able to approach the role.
He said that first, he had to imagine the character as some kind of magician or a politician who thinks of himself as a magician.
So whenever he leans in when he speaks, it is just because he wants the other person to hear him correctly and also because he wants to see the person he is talking to very closely.
We hope that you find this article quite interesting as you look forward to seeing the final season of Game of Thrones.
We hope that you don’t get heartbroken with how it ends for your character. Please do not hesitate to leave a comment below or share this article on social media.
