Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer told the Daily Beast about one scene in particular that she just couldn’t go through with. She also talked about male nudity and the alleged “boob mandate.”
In one particular scene, Dormer’s character Margaery Tyrell is forced to seduce the boy-king Tommen Baratheon. The boy-king is supposed to be approximately 13-years-old at the time of that scene, making for an uncomfortable situation for anyone. Natalie Dormer explained how she handled it to the Daily Beast.
“That scene was altered because I phoned Dan [Weiss] and David [Benioff] and said, ‘I’m not comfortable doing this.’ It’s the nature of the beast that I’m four years into playing Margaery Tyrell and the big plot points of the book are in stone. On the show, we had to find a way to navigate that in a sensitive way. There's more of it next season too, and we're trying to handle it with intelligence, and integrity."
The fantasy-adventure series, based the A Song of Ice and Fire books by George R.R. Martin, often features steamy (and also horrifying ) sex scenes (not to mention highly questionable ones). Dormer, who plays Margaery Tyrell, is one of many actresses who has bared her breasts on the show, which shows far more female nudity than male, and has also used stunt doubles and prosthetics.
"Well, during the first season Alfie [Allen], Richard [Madden], and several of the men got naked—although not all the way," Dormer told The Daily Beast in an interview posted on Friday, adding, "I think Thrones has been better than your average show with the equality, but they could definitely ramp it up! Absolutely."
Game of Thrones' fifth season is expected to premiere in the spring of 2015.Dormer can also be seen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, which hit theaters on Friday.”
