'House Of The Dragon' Star Spills On 'Animalistic' Sex Scene
HuffPost
The actor, who portrays Queen Alicent Hightower in the series, said it was a "carnal" moment.
Olivia Cooke is spilling on a “carnal” and “animalistic” sex scene fans will likely never see.
“Game of Thrones” fans are naturally overjoyed that HBO’s prequel series “House of the Dragon” is back, but Sunday’s return coincided with a revealing interview with Elle — in which Cooke divulged that her most bestial sex scene was left on the cutting room floor.
“It was messy as fuck,” she told the outlet. “It wasn’t beautiful, and that was really fun to do.”
“I think Ryan [Condal, the showrunner] said we weren’t learning any more about the characters, which I disagree with slightly, but it’s OK,” continued Cooke. “It’s his show.”
The actor reportedly laughed after positing the scene could end up on a blooper reel, suggesting it might truly never see the light of day. For those keeping up with the show, however, Cooke’s character, Queen Alicent Hightower, is clearly still a red-blooded royal.
