Naomi Watts sent Game Of Thrones fans into meltdown when she announced she’d be starring in the hotly-tipped prequel, Bloodmoon.

And the Australian actress, 50, has admitted she hadn’t actually seen a single episode of the HBO fantasy series – and had to frantically binge-watch all seven seasons in three months when she got the job.

We don’t know what’s more shocking tbh – the fact that she hadn’t watched GoT before, or how quickly she managed to tear through it.

She told PorterEdit: ‘I didn’t start watching until I was approached about this job.

‘But my brother [photographer Ben Watts], who is heavily into it, told me, “Under no circumstances are you going to turn this down.”‘

After watching the entire thing, The Impossible actress admitted she ‘was in – hook, line and sinker.’

Although, now there’s a new problem.

Naomi’s only gone and realised just how big Game Of Thrones is and quite frankly, she’s a bit worried about just how much Bloodmoon is going to raise her profile.

‘I still have fears about that. I don’t really know what to prepare for,’ she confessed.

Yes friends, Oscar-nominated star Naomi Watts is scared she’ll get famous after the prequel.

Does anyone want to break it to her that she already is, or shall we leave her in a state of ignorant bliss?

Watts’ role in Bloodmoon is all very hush hush, but we do know that she’s playing the lead role, and some fans are speculating that she might be playing a significant character from the books, Florys the Fox.

The theory comes as Naomi was spotted filming the hotly-tipped drama in Italy in an opulent gold dress, while  another leak from the set also showed a boat with a sigil which could be that of the early Starks.

Bloodmoon is currently in production for HBO.
