House of the Dragon teen star ‘scared’ to feel s** scenes with co-star 30 years older than her

Emily Carey, the 19-year-old actress who plays Alicent Hightower in House of the Dragon, has admitted to feeling “scared” while shooting s** scenes with Paddy Considine, who is 30 years older than her.

In the prequel series, Alicent marries King Viserys, played by Paddy, who is 49.

The latest episode of the show features Alicent and Viserys, who have been married for three years and have two children, engaging in a s** scene.

Emily revealed that she was initially apprehensive about the scene as she had not yet met Paddy.

In an interview with Newsweek, Emily said, “It scared me because, at that point, I still hadn’t met Paddy.

I didn’t know how much of a joy he was and how easy he was going to make the scene.”

She also mentioned that the first scene she read from the show was her s** scene and intimacy scenes, which made her nervous.

Emily prepared for her role by watching Game of Thrones, but the violent s** portrayed on the show made her even more nervous.

However, she was comforted by the on-set presence of an intimacy coordinator, whose demand has increased after the MeToo movement in 2017.

Emily praised the coordinator’s help during rehearsals and on set, saying that it made the experience a lot easier than she thought it would be.

The latest episode of House of The Dragon, titled King of the Narrow Sea, has been positively received for its sensitive and nuanced portrayal of s** and intimacy by director Clare Kilner.

The show can be streamed on NOW.

House of The Dragon is set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones and follows the House Targaryen’s history.

The series is based on George R.R.

Martin’s book Fire & Blood and stars actors such as Olivia Cooke, Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans, and Steve Toussaint.

The series is produced by Martin, Vince Gerardis, and Ryan Condal, with Miguel Sapochnik and Kilner directing.

In House of The Dragon, Paddy Considine portrays King Viserys Targaryen, Olivia Cooke plays Alicent Hightower’s stepdaughter, and Rhys Ifans plays Otto Hightower, Alicent’s father.

The show premiered in January 2022 and has received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences alike.

House of The Dragon is set to run for ten episodes in its first season.

The show’s creator, Martin, has stated that there are plans for several more seasons if the first one is successful.

The show’s production was temporarily halted due to COVID-19 but resumed after a brief hiatus.

Emily Carey is known for her work in various TV shows and movies such as Wonder Woman, Casualty, and Britannia.

She has been acting since the age of nine and has worked alongside actors such as Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, and David Morrissey.

Emily is also a singer and has released a single titled “Let’s Talk About Love.”

House of The Dragon is the latest addition to the Game of Thrones franchise, which ended in 2019 after eight seasons.

The show became a cultural phenomenon and won numerous awards, including 59 Primetime Emmy Awards, the most ever by a scripted series.

The show’s legacy has continued with prequels and spin-offs, with House of The Dragon being the latest addition.
