‘House Of The Dragon’ Star Quite Comfortable With ‘Steamy Scenes’

Just like ‘The Game Of Thrones’ the prequel House of The Dragon also has scenes of incestuous relationships. The GoT has a secret relationship between Cersei Lannister and her twin brother Jaime. Now House of the Dragon has Rahenyra involved in a relationship with her uncle Daemon Targaryen.

Milly Alcock who plays Rahenyra says she was quite comfortable with the intimate scenes with Smith who plays Daemon Targaryen. In the latest episode, Daemon takes his niece Rhaenyra on a tour outside the royal castle at night. He brings her through a brothel and the pair make out until Daemon pulls away and ditches her.

In an interview, Milly Alcock says she was comfortable with those scenes as they had an intimacy coordinator and they worked with her through the rehearsal process and blocked it out months before.

She said, ‘Clare Kilner, our director, made sure that we hadn’t seen any of the brothel stuff until we were shooting. So, that was our first time walking through the brothel, and he’s guiding her through the room with all of these other bodies. So, that was quite shocking. You’re like, ‘This is kind of weird and silly.’ There were extras who we had just met who were like, 69-ing for 12 hours. It’s pretty gnarly. We felt pretty overdressed because everyone else was n*de.’

Rahenyra has a similar relationship with her guard ser Criston Cole, to who she ends up losing her virginity in episode four.
