emma is so gorgeous, my god
Yes
Until she butches out
She is now a he sadly
@@egoyegoy23No, Emma goes by they/them pronouns. That does not deduce that they are female or male.
@@egoyegoy23 damn you're sure uneducated
Emma’s voice, Emma’s voice, Emma’s voice!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love how Emma is fiddling with their rings just like Rhaenyra does in the books
Game of thrones was at its best when everyone was politically scheming (and not throwing away their entire character development for shock factor) really excited to see a new show set in this world more focused on the politics and not being directed by… them
'To be honest I never really cared for them...innocent or otherwise'. God D&D are hacks.
They who shall not be named.
Couldn’t have said it better. The politics and politicking was what made GoT an intriguing marvel for me; not the fight for survival against zombies. I am incredibly excited for HoTD and super glad The Long Night (the first planned prequel series) never took off.
You mean it was at it's best when about 7 or 8 big families with grey characters each moving in directions creating an unpredictable and gripping dynamic was more entertaining than the simplified black and white storyline that they went for in the latter seasons with a lack of intrigue and thought families/characters? I'm inclined to.. agree
@@eyegaiminhd to be fair, they had Martin's text to work off of in the beginning. Not everybody is capable of creating this kind of world or these kinds of characters. Most people can't even dream of creating something even remotely beyond the childish black and white of the season that shall not be named for Game of Thrones. There world is too small so they get hung up on stupid details lie "OMG, there are black people in this world" and they fail to realize that trade routes were huge and any empire worth their salt would have had some intermingling. I mean, in the Judeo-Christian texts, one of their kings had hundreds of wives. That's a lot of political connections and not all of them were next door neighbors.
I do wish the producers had just bothered to read some history books. History has loads of these kinds of stories and they are truly universal. They could have just lifted entire events and plopped them in and it would have worked. Just replace genies with dragons or Krishna with a fire god and we're good.
Matt smith is an incredible actor. His role in the Crown as the queens husband was incredible.
He'll always be the Doctor to me
Saw him in London last year he was only a few feet away from me outside a hotel and I was too nervous and starstruck for a photo or autograph
He is fantastic! Still, I have to admit that I would love to spot a hidden "Doctor Who" Easter egg.
Guess what he is the queens husband im this show too
@@kauanfranca2922 He may be in the books but the way this is going I don’t know..we’ll see
The chemistry between and Matt and Emma is really going to help to see the closeness between Daemon and Rhaenyra! ♥️ Already in love with them and can’t wait to see them smashing together as the Rogue Prince and the Realm’s Delight.
smashin? smashin?!!
@@kieffer4615 well..yes xd
@@kieffer4615
Yeah some bouncy bouncy and some jiggy jiggy
It’s gunna be a *smashing* time ☺️🙏
It’s nasty but me too
The way Emma giggling, laughing and smiling throughout the interview with Matt is not healthy. I will sink with Rhaenyra + Daemond ship happily. 😭
I love how the Targaryen's in this show look alike, they have a similarity to their faces and they carry themselves in a way fitting of Dragon Riders.
Well, they are all related and so naturally with casting, they'd look for actors with similarities.
The first actress who played Daenerys in GOT pilot would blend with these guys perfectly
Now Emilia Clarke feels out of place
Called incest lmfao
@@dv9239 why? Because her features are rounder/softer while theirs are sharper?
that Targaryen incest at work lmao jk
Damn, Emma's Rhaenyra is STUNNING
the way matt looks at emma while she's talking is very Daemon.
I CANNOT wait to see what Emma and Olivia bring to the show
Only two more Sundays to see them slay!! ♥
"Over the centuries, House Targaryen has produced both great men and monsters. Prince Daemon was both. In his day there was not a man so admired, so beloved, and so reviled in all Westeros. He was made of light and darkness in equal parts. To some he was a hero, to others the blackest of villains."
Hope House of The Dragon won't meet the same end as Game of Thrones
It won’t because the ending was written by GRRM and not made up and rushed by D&D 🔥
They say that the show will deviate from Fire & Blood, which might be a good idea. This wasn't a happy time in Westeros history and the royal figures involved are not remembered fondly.
@@heltaku9397 I actually hope they give Rhaenyra a 🤞 great ending. Depending on if u read the books. I won’t spoil it!
@@heltaku9397 they might make Rhaenyra less of a “bad” queen and mkre tragic and sympathetic
This show is based on the targaryens' destruction, so I guess there won't be a happy ending
God, Emma is so beautiful in her costume and makeup.
emma d'arcy's voice❤️
She did such an amazing job at playing the cool and collected part in the final episode, and just hinted at that unhinged craziness in the final moment. Cannot wait for the next season!!
Emma’s pronouns are they/them. Their gender is non binary.
They**
@@Laila-wo5ul she****
Emmas voice is very soothing.
Ngl, every night i came here just to watch Rhaenyra / Emma interact with Daemon / Matt.
I miss them so much.😭
It's a crime that hbo didn't have them do more interviews together. We were robbed 😭
Emma seems so shy in interviews where they are just being Emma, but here in costume, they open up much more and seem much more talkative.
I love how the cast talks about this period in Westeros history. I think they have done really well in portraying the atmosphere of the time and telling us the main thing in this story. Politics was a really important thing and I think this will set it apart from GOT, even though politics was also important, we saw other things around the characters like adventure and magic. In this story we will see the dramas around this family, how politics influences their relationships and the bond that the family members form. I love them❤️
I feel like it won't be as grand, but a smaller scale story with the Targaryians. It will be interesting to see them in their heyday.
Emma is really charming. I can't take my eyes off of her. She IS royalty in the way that she talks and moves. Young Rhaenyra was always odd looking. The hair never seemed right. Matt looks odd too, but it grows on you.
Speaking of wigs, I prefer the color of wigs in got s1. It's the perfect blend of silver instead of this one. It looks more natural compare to the ones they used here, u can tell it's a wig especially with the Velaryon's
Emma: ''..and everything falls apart the moment when she receives the inheritance that everyone craves for.'' nice way to describe Episode 10, where Rhaenyra looses her father, than her crown, than her baby girl, and worse, her sweet boy Lucerys to murder.
She can't give away anything lol
Emma: "I'm very fascinated by the gendered tension in Rhaenyra's character, there's this really interesting dynamic between her gender and the role that's expected of her"
Matt (thinking of his bank balance going up every 20 seconds): "There's, um... there's dragons in it."
hahahah well, men are quite superficial creatures
Okey i really like the „older“ Rhaenyra too. She is so lovely and i really like her smile. The chemistry between Daemon and her is definitely there. So excited for the next episode. Before i watched this video, i was a lit bit worried about the change for the role because i was so attached to the other actress.
Me too! I don’t have proper sleep thinking about not seeing milly carry on for the most parts of the show anymore. I’m trying to get used to emma going through old preview videos to be familiarize with her as the main character from now on.
I only wished they allowed young rheanyra to at least be matured & being aware of the waging war that’s about to come before adult characters takes on
in reality emma were chosen before Milly who was only chosen to play her adult version, even in the trailers Emma came out...
@@hanaehaeri1236 but Emma was in the trailers, I also liked Milly but I'm also excited to see Emma's work
Emma looks gorgeous with long platinum hair. So, so beautiful.
Emma has such a sweet smile.
It’s great that the actors know their characters and world so well. It’s proof that Ryan Condal and the writers made everything as crystal clear as they could. I’m so excited!
Did you miss the part when they said non of them read the books. Non of them!!!!
@@nicoa5811 do you have a Source?
@@nicoa5811 I think that's the job of the writers to translate the books to tv, the actors are just their to execute it.
@@nicoa5811 same with GoT tho. Except Kit xD
We're going to compare, it would be difficult not to. But unlike with the original series where Cersei was clearly the bad guy, I don't think it will be so easy to distinguish good and bad with these characters. I haven't read the book but I've watched videos dedicated to GOT explain dance of the dragons. Sounds like this is going to be a wild ride and I'm here for it, let's go!!
I'm hoping the show goes the route of making both sides sympathetic. I think it really is meant to be a tragedy, rather than a "good guy versus bad guy" story, and I think that will be very compelling.
Technically so was Daenerys if we actually count the seasons Cersei was the bad guy
@@stfnknbb yes there all grey characters George Martin said it himself and he loved it so do I
I didn’t think Cersei was bad everything she did seemed justified to me
@@stfnknbb agree but in the start rhaenyra is right
Emma Darcy is the star of the show. man!! I never saw her work before, but after watching HOTD, she is my most favorite actor on the show.
Emma so beautiful it actually hurts my heart. And their comments on their character are always so interesting. Really looking forward to this unhealthy parasocial relationship I have going.
One of the things I like about this older cast is the fact that all the actors are, unlike maybe the first series, all experienced actors. You can really see the thought and care taken by the actors in terms of their characters. It was a great decision to have the younger actors phased out by the older ones to bring about a natural maturity to the characters.
It's wonderful to see them talking about their dragons. Really looking forward to seeing Dragonstone castle on volcano ambiance.. The smoking castle.. Fantastic seeing Jaehaerys at the great council of Harrenhal. Also greatly looking forward to Rhaenys storyline.. So EW said Alicent resembles Cersei, Otto Little finger and Corlys Tywin. That'll be interesting.
As someone who has read fire and blood, this is a gross oversimplification. Yes they appear to be similar but they are completely different characters.
No, they are not. Some resemblance does not mean they are those people.
Actresss literally said not to compare but people still do, they are some resemblance but no they are completely different characters
Y'all on crack? Not one single person said they are the same. What are you lot going on about? OP literally said resembles. Theres a ton of characters that resemble GoT characters in HotD, and vice versa. Chill out.
@@darshaksanyal4755 Based off the books it’s pretty accurate except Alicent more like Margaery seductive but overall scheming without spilling blood
Just the fact that this amazing story got it's own adaptation is something to make me really excited to watch it. But then they've picked one of my fav actors to play one of my fav (if not my fav) characters. I can't wait to see more of Matt Smith as Daemon!!🥰💕
Such a crazy character too. It's going to be awesome.
Emma looks very excited to be playing an absolute badass! Can't wait to see their performance! From one dragon queen to the next, I'm ready!
Me too!
When Matt Smith says Daemon and Caraxes are bonded I was like "Yep he gets it"
Came in pessimistic, left happy that we are going to see more political scheming and character case studies according to these actors. Praying that this show brings Westeros back into the public light.
Macar de nu se mai repeta dezastrul sezoanelor 7-8 din Game of Thrones, cred că mai toată lumea e pesimista din cauza asta dar rămâne de văzut
Looks like your wish came true
@@nicholaskenneth113 Looks like it did, love it already.
Matt smith looking at emma when she’s talking is at melting point.
ikr...
When they are talking
i already fell in love with Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) and Matt Smith is just love
love emma's observations about rhaenyra! can't wait to see their portrayal. i'm so hyped for this show, everything i've seen so far is giving me high hopes
@@thehunt8936 respect their pronouns wtf
Bullshit. She's says she relates to rhaenyra because rhaenyra questions her gender. There is no such thing in the character.
I mean it’s obvious everyone in the show points it out that a female on the iron throne wasn’t a thing but I agree Emma looks at it in a different way
Her smirk is damn attractive
The way Eve talks about Meleys 😍
Matt smith is gonna kill it!
Matt looks the most Targaryen if at all they were real.
So true
Oh without a doubt he literally looks like future king Aegon III
Alicent's actress auditioned with Cersei scenes. Interesting. I imagine Rhaenyra's actress auditioned with Daenery's scenes? Would love to see that.
Both Rhaenyra and Alicent characters seems more similar to Cersei than Dany.
Rhaenyra is more similar to Cersei than to Daenerys
rhaenyra actor auditioned with arya scenes actually! they talk about it in the article that just came out
@@shara-v6074 thats just young rhaenyra
They're both who Cersei wishes she could be.
Gosh Emma is just absolutely gorgeous gorgeous. Matt Smith is literally the hottest man I have ever seen in my life.
Emma looks stunning!
I hope this is as good as the early seasons of got. Hope this cast knocks it out of the park.
I hope they have the amazing cinematography and production value of the latter seasons.
@@ianvera4299 yup
@@ianvera4299 the effects and visuals are going to be amazing
@@ianvera4299 Actually i prefer the earlier seasons because the main element is GRRM's way of telling the story the depth of its characters you know... I don't care about effects if it is empty inside. Seasons 1-4 was something else.
the cast speaking of the show’s main focus being mainly interhouse politics and dysfunctional family dynamics is definitely making me a lot more optimistic.
Wasn't too sure about them casting Emma when I first saw her, but after seeing this SHE IS RHAENYRA!!
My thoughts too!!
I think Emma uses they/them pronouns but yeah they are going to kill it as Rhaenyra
Facts. She has that Targ beauty and the face of someone you just don't want to mess with.
@@kauanfranca2922 tbh I'm less interested in Emma and more in the character of Rhaenyra, who is a woman and is referred to as she/her. If you don't believe me, heres a quote from A Storm of Swords, Chapter 36,
"...even Rhaenyra Targaryen. She was daughter to one king and mother to two more, yet she died a traitor's death for trying to usurp her brother's crown."
Same!! Their pronouns r they/them tho
The vibe between Emmer and Matt in this is only going to make further seasons so apropos. I think Mr Smith is onto something. Emma D’Arcy, embrace this!
apropos?
Same.
I love how the whole cast just owns their characters. They know exactly who they are and how they feel. I feel like this show is unique in that sense. Like they are discovering who their charaters are rather than told exactly who they should be. I mean the show has created much nuance in the characters that is different from how they are in the books. And I love that GRM is completely on board with this. In fact I get the feeling that he loves it. Kudos to the entire team!!
Can we talk about how Corlys is an awesome character. They picked the perfect person for the role as well as his wife and all of House Velaryon
The Sea Snake looks striking. I really like the changes they made with his character. He’s magnificently, magically, & ethereally beautiful.
What changes? besides the color of the hair and eyes, George rarely describes the appearance of his characters so he might as well be the same in the book :)
@@BernardoPC117 he looks somewhat exiting honestly I wasn’t expecting him to look like that but it’s honestly exiting
@@BernardoPC117 there’s a lot of evidence that he wasn’t black
@@wherermytacos5903 Funfact it was George Martin idea to make them black he had this idea for years but never did anything with it
@@wherermytacos5903 What evidence? we don't even know who his mother was...
Everything Emma D'Arcy spoke about got me wayyyy more interested in the show.
They really sold it.
Matt smith saying the Targaryens are a “rotten ol bunch” Is just simply perfect. They couldn’t have casted daemon any better than they did with casting Matt smith.
Listening to the interview, I am getting a strong feeling, that this show is going to be very very good.
39 days left until the House of the Dragon premieres on Sunday August 21st on HBO. I can't wait.
I can’t wait
I can’t wait to see how the writers totally screw up the final season.
@@ohroonoko I have faith in this because the writers of the show actually have the whole story in it’s entirety to base it off of. Whereas the 2 writers of GoT showed that when they ran out of GRRM’s source material that they weren’t worth their salt on coming up with their own material that had substance. Just have to wait and see though but I’m optimistic towards this one
@@awesomeAUSTN894 And the writers are actual fans about the books who care about the story
@@awesomeAUSTN894 Ah ok, that’s good.
Brazilian fan here🇧🇷. As a reader of Fire and Blood by George RR Martin and quite picky regarding film and show adaptations, I'm considerably happy towards HBO gracing the fans with selecting the perfect cast for House of the Dragon. Let me emphasise that I'm utterly in love with Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen because it seems that Matt Smith literally popped up from one of the pages of Fire and Blood, especially because I'm up to imagine bodies, faces and hairstyles based upon the point of view of the author, but not in austere way. Matt Smith captured the essence of the character beautifully as he shows the 'rogue' facial expression that I imagined for Daemon Targaryen. Steve Toussaint looks entirely fancy and beautiful as Corlys Velaryon! Emma D'Arcy is just pure perfection as Rhaenyra Targaryen because she delivers an expression that suits her character perfectly. I just cannot stress enough how perfect the entire cast is! Hopefully all the massive House of the Dragon fanbase here in Brasil will not break the HBO app and everybody here will be able to watch the first episode peacefully.
I agree! I also cant wait for Emma's acting down in the later seasons, when shit hits the fan. She has a magnum opus cut out for her.
Like if this series succeeds, and she does a good job, she will become a superstar easily. The later scenes of Rhaenyra, especially after the Dance starts are gonna be insanely emotional
@@bjornerluffy Emma D'Arcy pronouns are they/them
@@mustafa-cx2fg Yhea true, sorry I forgot. When speaking about her female roles its kinda easy to mess up, as I would call Rhaenyra a her.
As a black man, I love the way make up has made certain tweaks to make these characters feel part of the world. Normally they just throw a dude in a period/fantasy costume as if they've just dragged him/her of the street.
This guy looks and feels part of the world.
As a fan of the GoT series I honestly can't see the comparison. I love both GoT and now Hotd. Everyone was chosen perfectly. Kudos to the casting team for finding all these amazing actors/actresses♥
Great to see Matt as lead role. really enjoyed his Doctor who ,it will be good to see how his new character evolves.
I absolutely love the Demon Targaryn and the actor playing him couldn't of picked a better actor. Iam stoked to see House of Rhe Dragon.
I almost want to say that I like House of the Dragons even more than the original GOT. But they are both so different, so that might not be a fair thing to say. But I absolutely loved this first episode, right out of the gate! The characters have a lot of complexity. Ever since Season 8 of GOT, I've become interested in the Targaryens and their history. It does seem to be a closer focus. Corlys Velaryon's robes and sigil are just beautiful and dignified. The show is just incredible.
Im a little confused this suppose to be a prequel or a sequel of the GOT? Also, the dragon queen is Rhaenyra on this show?
@@shercyf6306 It's a prequel from the point of view of House Targaryen (you can see in the first episode some of the ancestors of the other Houses swearing fealty to the King on the Iron Throne), but also a sequel to the original GOT, I think? Rhaenyra is a dragon princess right now, but she has been named heir by her father the king. He's got a son now though too.
@@Ida-iu3uj thank you, I don't have HBO and can't see it. I only saw the short clips and was confused because Daenarys is the mad king daughter, and he's in the throne now. I thought it was a sequel, and they change the name of her character because of that.
You're very welcome! It's really good - it was especially good last night, if a bit controversial. The costumes and sets are outrageously beautiful. I hope you do sign up for it, because it's not to be missed IMO.
@@Ida-iu3uj thanks
Definitely the most complex family. Can’t wait to see if the show will do justice to the book. I’m very satisfied with the cast and excited to see the missing characters 🤗
Yes, but let's not forget that also Got had a perfect cast
Nothing like a bunch of crazy incest babies and dragons.. lol 😂
@@filipporubino4163 and was a fucking incredible show. Let’s not forget that
@@joshhunt4146 Yes, for 4 seasons. Then for 2 more seasons, it was still better than most. Those last 2, though... At least the source material is finished for this show. The main challenge for the writers is going to be creating golden dialogue like some that David and Dan had to pull from in seasons 1-5.
@@filipporubino4163 Yep, GoT had a far more perfect cast. But we get to see at least some (maybe more) of them again and I can't be more excited. Game of Thrones Sequel: Official Announcement | Jon Snow Series ruclips.net/video/WdbwEvMJE6U/видео.html
I hope that a lot more of the smaller houses are in the spotlight like the Blackwoods, the Corbrays, and the Manderlys for example
All those actually have pretty sizable roles in the story, especially the Blackwoods are gonna be sick. Tullys too.
@@bjornerluffy in what way? i haven’t read F&B, but I’ve been catching myself up on the lore as much as I can. What parts do they play?
A different house but the first northern host that fights is led by Roderick Dustin, who’s a total chad
@@myong2206
The Blackwoods are a leading house of the Riverlands- they were pretty much hand-in-glove with the Tullys, in terms of their leadership- & they also (or, one character in particular...) have an impact right at the end of the war, as does House Stark...
@@myong2206 The Blackwoods boy who is orphaned after his father dies and his aunt became war heroes and the main commanders for the Riverlords who sided with Rhaenyra.
Benjicot Blackwood and the Tully twins were reffered to as "The Lads" because of their young age and became a pride of their men and lords.
The Corbrays end up marrying one of the surviving Targaryens, and he becomes the commander of the city guard.
Manderly serves as the final hand of the king during the post-war regency.
So its actually really funny that you mentioned all three of them, as they all got a part to play in the story.
Watch out for "Bold" Jon Roxton as well, who wields the valyrian steel sword "Orphan Maker"
I really enjoy all of their observations. They seem very immersed into their character and know them well. It passes me at least very positive vibes about what the show will be
Thinking about it from playing the Doctor whose rage is at times so alien and scary to playing Prince Philip and his position as the Queens husband who never really has that sort of power...Matt Smith really does have the perfect cv to play a character as complex as Daemon.
This hairstyle fits Emma. Damn she's gorgeous. 😍
I just don’t understand how actors don’t take advantage of source material. Corlys Velayron is so detailed in the Princess & the Queen and the Rogue Prince. Hopefully there are more legends like Christopher Lee who will care to read the books.
Well, he met Tolkien. So that is another point to why he read it.
I agree. I think it pays off in the performance.
I think reading any source material is a double edged sword, because it can at times be quite tricky holding focus on the characteristics and behaviours in text when the interwoven arcs and story beats continually push the narrative onward. In essence, it’s a complicated process.
As an active reader myself, I can definitely understand where you're coming from, but there are also pitfalls to reading source material beforehand. As an actor, you might not always want to know what your character's arc is going to be from the jump. If your character faces surprises and revelations later in their story, you might not be able to pull off the emotions resulting from that in a genuine fashion if you already had that knowledge in the back of your mind from the get-go. I'd say source material really only has to be read by showrunners, producers, but most importantly, the directors and writers. If directors and writers haven't read the source material through-and-through, then it's an absolute failure of doing one's due diligence on the adaptation.
I think it depends on the actor and on the piece of media. Tv is different to books, it requires different work to get character across, and an actor might feel that if they read too much into the source material they're gonna get bogged down with how millions of people have already interpreted those book words into their own minds rather than just focussing on the character as written in the script.
Olivia casually speaking about wigs being ruined by blood 🤣
so cool when he said "it's morbin' time" in the beginning! 🙏🙏🙏
“sort of fresh palette” “so not much pre conveived ideas so to say” “one entity” “sort of avatar of each other” theres some kind of weird molecular symbiotic thing going on” , “it does do alot of work for you,like a masks”. never seen math smiths shows before. but i already liking him and his choice of words.
Rhaenyra is absolutely smoking hot!
This cast is perfect.
i loveee this cast so much already the chemistry between them all is so strong already-- my favorite part of game of thrones is the politics and scheming so i think i'm going to love this show
i cannot wait for House of the Dragon! i’m the type of viewer that tries to see prequels/sequels for what they are - separate projects. i’m so excited ☺️

If they keep this show even close to source material......this is going to be epic. It's one of my favorite time periods in the World of Ice and Fire. There is tons of death, debauchery and of course....DRAGONS!
I can't wait to see Matt Smith he's an amazing actor and I've loved his acting since Doctor Who and when he was in Last Night in Soho
He was iconic in PPZ
Can't wait to see Damon and corlys conquer the step stones
I wasn't happy with the casting at first, but I'm really impressed now. They all look great
Emma plays with rings on fingers the whole time...just like Rhaenyra.
That's the first thing I noticed too!
Exactlyyyyyyy
OMGGGGG I DIDNT NOTICE THAT
I love the jewelry already
I reckon she picked up the habit having to do it so often for Rhaenyra.
Greatest show of the year.
I love Emma’s take on Rhaenyra in terms of gendered. I hadn’t thought about, but I can totally see why a non binary actor would feel drawn to this character. It’s weird because we’ve seen Rhaenyra pregnant and giving birth so many times that we always think of her as the ultimate woman who never questions her womanhood, but she actually does struggle with balancing her nature and her role as a “female king”.
I have actually read that book, way back in the day for fun...TWICE now and going for a third time. I am a HUGE Game of Thrones nerd and would have loved to have even been an extra in something like this! So well done and such a beautiful world he has created!
I have done nothing but read tweets and watch videos since watching episode 2 😅
I like how they understand the differences and put it into perspective about what might come from some GOT fans.
Anyways. They will get some fans from the first series GOT fans, who will like them, I am sure, and new fans who don’t know anything about the shows or books. Some may never but, that’s their loss. Maybe some will change their minds later.
No matter how famous, there are always people who for whatever reason, take longer to watch a series, eventually, or never have an interest.
I never read the GOT books.
Used to be a bookworm since grade 2, but in my late 30s, lost the focus to read thick novels. And I used to borrow stacks from the public libraries in the city I live, went to various smaller ones and the biggest central one, and the central one in a neighboring city, too, and spend hours reading. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, etc. Loads of non fiction, too. Mostly on arts, few other interesting subjects, even if I never actually engaged in certain things.
Like working out, until recently, I read the whole encyclopedic book by Arnold Schwarzenegger about body building, that he wrote when he was a famous body builder. Sometime around the time he started pursuing acting, I think.
i think now that ive watched this interview im more curious and interested to watch the show. at first i wasnt planning on it but now seein them talk bout it and how they talk about it has me curious for it!!
Emma with long hair 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's the 1st I've heard Emma's voice she sounds lovely gonna enjoy her
*they
@@itsflowerside i'd call her they to her face (just to be polite) but i'd always adress her as she.
im very happy with how this show is looking so far, it seems to de doing the universe that G.R.R:M created justice yet my only concern comes from the fact that many of the actors say that they havent read fire and blood especially valaryon actor as this is the source material im worried this might have an effect on the characters portrial yet I am still positivley outlooking for this shows start
Emma’s voice man 😭 *chefs kiss*
I can't wait to watch it especially for Daemon, Rhaenyra and Lord Corlys
Emma D'arcy looks sooooo good in costume.
Emma and Matt are perfection! Both together and alone. HYPE.
I could not possibly be more excited. It's such an amazing story, and it's going to be an amazing show!
Matt seems to like Emma a lot he blushes every time they would laugh together. If only Emma is single and prefers Matt over Olivia then we'd have our dream targaryen parents.
Otto seems like such a great actor
you've never seen rhys ifans in anything before?
They genuinely cast these characters…. Perfectly. ❤️
Is that sarcasm
So excited for the show. It's going to be EPIC🔥
I am so excited. Brilliant cast and they all look incredible. I cannot wait!!!
