Game Of Thrones star Jacob Anderson has clarified the genitalia situation under Grey Worm’s hood, because season eight needs to wrap up every loose end.
The 28-year-old actor, also known as rapper Raleigh Ritchie, plays the respected commander of the Unsullied, an army who have a reputation for incredible combat skills and their lack of manhood.
Speaking on Hot 97 FM, however, Anderson was keen to clarify misconceptions around Unsullied tackle, explaining how their ability to reproduce is just severed, and not the ‘hammer’ itself.
‘It’s just inaccuracy,’ Anderson said. ‘It sounds like I’m feeling really inadequate, like as an actor my manhood is being questioned, and it’s not really that.
‘I’m just like, we have to be clear about Grey Worm’s situation. It’s a lack of situations, not a lack of situation. The hammer is still there, I don’t know if he can use it.’
Clarifying Grey Worm’s reproductive abilities are gone but he does have his penis, Anderson said: ‘Yeah I guess so, because otherwise how is he going to pee? I’m pretty sure that’s what it is.
‘There’s other things you couldn’t do right? I feel like I’ve brought this into the room.’
If you want to go deep on Unsullied penis, the Game Of Thrones books actually make a gruesome point to explain the army have both their penis and testicles cut, with their manhoods burned at the altar of the Lady Of Spears.
The show, however, has never fully acknowledged this ritual, with the Unsullied’s penis largely being a vehicle for Bronn to joke about the ‘men without c**ks’. But it seems the show has changed this detail to accommodate Grey Worm’s romance with Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel).
Anderson also responded to the growing petition calling for Game Of Thrones season eight to be entirely remade, branding it as ‘insulting’ to the crew who invested hours into making the show.
‘I think it’s so insulting, whatever you think of the show,’ Anderson said. ‘If you saw how hard people worked on that show, nobody would be flippantly saying like, “remake the show.”
‘I’ve seen people I’ve known for like eight years, who are just really happy, fun people, those night shoots I saw people switch. You saw it in people’s eyes, like 55 consecutive nights… those people worked those hours and worked that hard regardless of what you think of the episode.’
The latest episode of Game Of Thrones saw a huge battle kick off in King’s Landing, as a number of characters were bumped off in spectacular, and controversial, fashion.
Game Of Thrones continues Sundays on HBO and Sky Atlantic. You can catch-up on episodes so far on NOW TV.
