> “By that point I’d been through the wringer,” the actor told The Telegraph. “I could stand up for myself. I’m not saying those actresses couldn’t, but they were much younger and more vulnerable, and had far less experience of being in front of people and the camera and performing. Whereas I was of an age where I’d just tit about and diffuse anything uncomfortable with idiocy.”
> And yet, Headey found herself in the middle of backlash when she decided to use a body double in “Game of Thrones” Season 5 during her character’s naked walk of shame. When it was revealed that a body double and some CGI was used for the nude scene, some “Thrones” fans scorned her on social media.
> “I was really shocked by the anger, by this idea that I’d duped the audience,” Headey said looking back at the outrage. “But by that point everyone knew [the cast], it was insane simply going anywhere, and I was with 3000 extras. Acting is a joy but it requires a lot of you. I wouldn’t have been able to do the emotional part of the job; I’d have been in full on defensive mode.”
The story of that tv show is def good, but the way they picture women is gross. The way martin write women is even worse. I dont need this shit in my life to have fun tbh
Our president is a felony convicted rapist, Hollywood ain’t gonna do shit till we stop supporting this
Men continue to prove why women find them frightening. Imagine thinking you’re entitled to an actor’s naked body.
The amount of men on the ASOIAF subs calling her a liar and saying this never happened is fucking foul.
I know she has some stories to tell. I blame those toxic fans for her bowing out of CONs. Parasocialism at it’s worst
The outage around her using a body double for the shame scene was fucking alarming to say THE LEAST
