Olivia Cooke, who plays older Alicent on HBO’s HouseOfTheDragon, details her rough first day on set, which includes being very hungover. 😳
House of the Dragon's older Alicent actor, Olivia Cooke, explains why she had a rough first day on set. Based on the fantasy novels by author George R.R. Martin, House of the Dragon chronicles the family squabbles that eventually lead to the Targaryen civil war. Taking place almost 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, fans and critics alike have praised HBO's new series for its writing and strong performances.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Now 5 episodes in, House of the Dragon is poised to make a major change to its cast. Following a 10-year time jump, Alcock and Carey will be replaced by Emma D'Arcy and Cooke, who will play the older versions of Rhaenyra and Alicent, respectively. The most recent episode of the show saw the two characters pulled further apart than ever before, with Alicent realizing the full extent of Rhaenyra's betrayals.
“It was amazing and I was very hungover. Really bad, actually. Really bad. And I never do that, but there’s this comedian in England who I love, Alan Carr, and he’s got a podcast. He invited me to be on the podcast and I was very excited. And my call time the next day wasn’t until 11 so I brought a bottle of wine just as a gesture and the podcast finished and we’re just chatting, chatting, chatting. He’s telling me loads of gossip. More wine, more wine, more wine. I don’t remember getting home.
Cooke, who is also known for roles in Ready Player One and Sound of Metal, steps into big shoes in House of the Dragon. Both Alcock and Carey have very much captured the hearts of House of the Dragon fans, who not only enjoy their individual performances, but the unique chemistry between the two actors.
Although Cooke's first day on set may not have been pleasant, the actor's comment suggests that her suffering went mostly unnoticed by the cast and crew, meaning her performance on the day likely wasn't affected. Regardless, fans may now be on the lookout for any signs of Cooke's hangover or her chipped front tooth, which may or may not be present in House of the Dragon episode 6 .
