Game of Thrones has a giant fanbase, and thereâs hardly anybody that hasnât watched it. However, odd as it may seem, Naomi Watts, the lead star of the first Game of Thrones prequel Blood Moon, apparently hadnât didnât know anything about the show before she was cast for the prequel. Read on!
She recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight in an interview at the Emmy after party, where she was asked how she feels about the intense pressure a follow up to Game of Thrones:
âIâm trying not to think about it. Yeah, but it is evident how well done it is.â
Speaking of seeing the cast of Game of Thrones at the Emmyâs, she said:
âAt the end there, watching them all up on stage having gone through such a long period of time and theyâre so well-connected and bonded, and you know theyâve all done such an incredible job.â
She then revealed she hadnât quite watched the show or known much about it before being offered the role:
âI had to do some catch up, yeah. My brother, though, basically said to me, when I told him about it, he said, âYou will die before I let you not do that show. You have to do it.â He is obsessed.
And, of course, when I did get around to watching it, I just did it all in the space of about, I donât know, two months on a lot of long flights and itâs absolutely riveting. I loved it.â
Well, Watts is a good actress, and thereâs no doubt sheâll do well in the prequel. What do you guys think? Talk to us in the comments, down below!
