The series of “Game of Thrones” stars reveal the secret behind the hot and violent scenes in the movie.
Maisie Williams thought her scene was a ‘joke’
Maisie Williams plays Arya Stark, one of the child stars who grew up with “Game of Thrones”. It is known that Maisie was only 12 years old when she first acted in a movie. However, in the final season, when Maisie was 22 years old, she had an extremely daring sex scene with Gendry (actor Joe Dempsie) on the night before the vital battle against the White Walkers zombie army.
Although “Game of Thrones” is famous for its many 18+ scenes, Arya Stark is always considered a “clean” child character by the audience. Possessing a brave, steadfast, and decisive personality just like a knight, Arya makes viewers feel that this character will never have a love scene.
Maisie herself was also very surprised when she learned that she would perform a “hot” scene in the final part of “Game of Thrones”. At first, she thought this was just a joke from filmmakers David Benioff and DB Weiss, because they used to tease other actors in the film crew like that. However, later, Maise confessed: “It turns out the two filmmakers said it wasn’t really a joke to ‘tease’ me.” Luckily, the actress had the right to decide whether to be naked in front of the camera. What are the glasses like, how exposed is the character when performing this “difficult” scene.
To make Maisie feel comfortable, the crew members tried to turn their faces away. However, this made the actress feel extremely awkward. She really hopes everyone can behave normally so this scene can be more normal.
Joe Dempsie felt strange when filming a “hot” scene with Maisie Williams
Sharing with the media, Joe Dempsie felt very strange filming an 18+ scene with Maisie because he had watched her grow up since childhood. “It always makes me a little uncomfortable” knowing that sooner or later Gendry will have a love scene with Arya Stark, the actor admitted. However, Joe affirmed that it was “completely okay” to film a sex scene with Maisie because the little co-star was now an adult.
“Mother of Dragons” Emilia Clarke was supported by Jason Momoa when she was “uncomfortable”
Emilia Clarke is one of the indispensable “soul” roles in “Game of Thrones”. Right from part 1, “Mother Dragon” shocked everyone when she constantly had to show off her body. According to Emilia Clarke, she was very upset and felt uncomfortable when the director asked her to “take off” 100% in front of the camera. The actress admitted that she tormented herself a lot, while the film crew considered this to be normal. Even “Mother Dragon” feels like she’s being forced to act in hot scenes, or nude scenes that aren’t really necessary for the movie.
Luckily, Jason Momoa – Emilia Clarke’s on-screen husband is always there to encourage and wear a robe for the actress every time she completes a bed scene. He even advised the director not to force Emilia if she doesn’t like to do this.
Emilia Clarke admits she is very lucky to be with Jason Momoa. In the scene where the Aquaman actor raped the “Dragon mother”, she confided: “He even cried more than me.” Emilia was touched when Jason kept saying: “Can everyone get me a coat? She’s shaking.” To Emilia, Jason is a very kind, considerate man who “cares about me as a person”.
Not only was she under pressure during nude scenes, Emilia also felt very awkward when her brother was a member of the crew and was present in her hot scene at the end of the movie. However, she still showed professionalism and fulfilled her assigned role well.
Jason Momoa decided to “defend himself” for his wife
Jason Momoa starred in the first season of “Game of Thrones.” He plays Khal Drogo, a Dothraki warlord who took “Dragon mother” Daenerys as his wife and “attacked” her on her wedding night. Sharing with the media, the actor confided: “I have never really been asked: Do you regret playing this role? I can only answer: I completed the role.”
To “cover” his sensitive area, the actor used a pink, fluffy sock. Thus, the scene from behind will look like he is not wearing anything. This is also Jason’s “trick” to help Emilia relieve stress.
However, screenwriter David Benioff tried to convince the male lead Aquaman to “take everything off” to make the scene more realistic. David even declared that Jason should sacrifice himself for his role in the name of art. This made him angry and he bluntly declared: “My wife will be angry. This is only for a woman.” It can be seen that Jason was determined to “preserve himself” for his beloved wife.
Jon Snow – Kit Harington felt strange when filming a sex scene
In the final season of “Game of Thrones”, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) had a “bed scene”. At that time, the two had been co-stars for many years. Emilia is also a close friend of Kit and his wife Rose Leslie (who played Ygritte in the film). This makes Kit’s sexual experience with Emilia more awkward than ever.
The actor shared: “If you have known someone for 6 years and they are close friends of you and your husband, it will be quite strange and unnatural to do a love scene together.”
Luckily, Kit and Emilia laughed happily throughout the intimate scene. The actor expressed his great love for Emilia and enjoyed working with her. He easily performed the kiss scene with his best friend.
Rose Leslie feels safe with Kit Harington
In season 3 of “Game of Thrones”, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) fell deeply in love with Ygritte (Rose Leslie). The two had a passionate scene at a cave. It is known that at this time, the couple is not yet married.
Rose expressed that she felt very safe when filming sex scenes with Kit because he was kind like a true gentleman. The actor is always delicate in every action, making sure his co-star feels as comfortable as possible. Right after the film crew finished filming, Kit prepared a gown for Rose. This helps her feel happy and comfortable to enjoy every moment of filming.
Rose said: “He was very considerate and always made sure I didn’t feel awkward exposing my body in front of everyone.”
Esmé Bianco is comfortable playing the role of a prostitute
The prostitute Ros in “Game of Thrones” is played by British actress – Esmé Bianco. Although she doesn’t appear often, Ros is one of the most popular characters because of her natural acting and statuesque beauty. She also took on many “heavy” scenes related to sex and violence. However, Esmé Bianco claims to have no regrets about any of her scenes.
Esmé Bianco said: “I feel very comfortable with what I do because I am always treated with respect.”
The actress also gave full praise to the intimate scene coordinators for helping the actors have comfortable moments while acting. She didn’t even realize that the hot scenes she had filmed were so violent. Specifically, in episode 4 of season 2, the young king Joffrey Baratheon forced Ros to torture another prostitute for fun. Ros had to use a whip to continuously whip the “victim”‘s back until it was covered in blood, then witnessed King Joffrey Baratheon use a crossbow to finish off the unfortunate prostitute. However, after watching this scene in the movie, Esmé Bianco was surprised to realize that she had acted in a “bloodier” scene than she thought.
Iwan Rheon as Ramsay Bolton feels extremely bad
Ramsay Bolton is one of the famous villains of “Game of Thrones” who kills people without mercy and loves to torture women. Ramsay Bolton’s most haunting scene was raping his newlywed wife Sansa Stark on their wedding night. He even forced Sansa’s childhood friend Theon to watch. This scene immediately made the whole world angry.
Iwan Rheon admits the day surrounding Sansa’s rape was the worst day of his career. The actor said: “That’s terrible. No one wants to do that. But when you’re telling a story, it has to be told in the most honest way.
“The filmmaker did not sensationalize anything on film. This scene is very difficult to watch. It’s terrible and unfortunate that it happened. It was the worst day of my career,” he continued.
