HouseoftheDragon Star Olivia Cooke On How She’s Not Playing A Villain: “Sometimes The Internet Discourse Is Too Black And White”
she focused on how she’s coming from “a place of undying love and protection for her children.” Here, the actress reflects on her first season of the drama and how folks shouldn’t assume she’s a straight-up bad woman.
DEADLINE It was a bummer not to see you in the finale. But I guess Alicent did her damage in episode 9?Related Story So many fans were puzzled that Princess Rhaenys didn’t burn you to death at the end of episode 9. Why do you think you and your son were spared?I think she ultimately recognized a mother trying to protect her children, which is exactly what Rhaenys would do. I think she just couldn’t have that on her conscious. And ultimately, whether or not the Greens die should be decision left for Rhaenyra or Daemon.I never played her as a villain.
Do you think Alicent and Rhaenyra have a silent understanding that if it wasn’t for all the men who surround them, they would still be friends?I think so. I think in the big dinner scene in episode eight where they’re surrounded by Daemon and Viserys, all of their sons and just the mess and testosterone that fills the room, I think it’s suddenly very clear and simple to them that they actually are together and not divided. It would’ve been so much easier.
What’s has this experience been like? Does it compare to anything else that you’ve done in terms of the scrutiny?No, no. I don’t think anything could have prepared anyone for this. It’s mad. I think I’ve had a bit of willful ignorance about how it would change my life. I think maybe in like three months time, it’ll probably die down. But when I’m on the tube, I definitely feel people’s eyes and … there’s the odd comments.
