Last Sunday’s episode of ‘House of the Dragon’ was an absolute rollercoaster, with Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock) and her uncle Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) having an incestuous snog in the middle of a crowded brothel.
Aussie actress Alcock provided the NY Post with a crazy tidbit about the nude extras who were part of the scene:
“[Matt Smith and I] were just kind of mates. So, it was quite comfortable. We had an intimacy coordinator, and we worked with her through the rehearsal process and blocked it out months before.
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 nude.”

Fair play to Milly Alcock for her use of the word ‘gnarly’ here because I really don’t think there’s a better adjective to describe 69-ing a total stranger, or anyone for that matter, for 12 hours. Hell, the idea of doing anything for 12 hours just sounds straight up exhausting.
Just imagine laying face-to-vag or face-to-penis with a random person for half a day just to make whatever extras make these days + a free meal at the canteen. Yeah OK you might get to pop a boner or two, but over 12 hours the novelty is going to wear off quick. Although I guess they get to say they were in House of the Dragon sex scene, so that’s pretty cool.
In any case it was a great episode in what’s turning out to be a fantastic show. Especially given how ready everyone was to hate on House of the Dragon after the calamity that was the final season of Game of Thrones. Can’t wait to see what else they’ve got in store for us for season 1 and beyond.
