Famous for playing Missandei in Game of Thrones, the 33-years-old actress also opened up about whether or not she has watched House of the Dragon, in an interview with THR. The Emmy-nominated actress said that:
“(Laughs.) Yeah, I did! I actually watched [House of the Dragon] last night because I was busy on Sunday. I’m just so happy to see that world back. I now get to watch it as a fan, so that’s really exciting and cool.”
Nathalie Emmanuel’s advice for House of the Dragon actors
Emmanuel is currently doing the press rounds for her upcoming film, The Invitation.
The interviewer also asked her what advice she would give to House of the Dragon actors about the Game of Thrones experience. She said:
“I’m sure they already know, but this fanbase, whew … They are passionate and they are amazing. And who knows how this series will be received, but I hope it’s a huge success. And if it is, it’s an experience, and it will be an adjustment, for sure. If you’re not used to that level of attention or recognition, it’s definitely something. So I guess my advice would be to just enjoy it and look to each other. It was really important that we, as a group, went through all of that together and held each other down.”
The interviewer also asked Emmanuel how many times she said “dracarys” when Missandei faced her death in Game of Thrones:
“Quite a few times. There was a lot of coverage starting very, very far away and then as it got closer. So I had to say it many times, and then they turned around and I had to say it for other people so they could catch their reactions. So it was quite a few, but I couldn’t tell you how many.”
