Natalie Dormer is making the rounds lately to promote her new film The Forest and is talking Game of Thrones in the meanwhile.
The actress appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday, and explained to the host that she only reads the portions of the GoT scripts that are “relevant to Margaery and Highgarden and King’s Landing.” She says she does this, “So when the show airs, I’m sitting on the couch watching it like you.”
“I’ll be sitting in the hair and makeup trailer, and someone will show up and I’ll be like, ‘What are you doing here?’” Dormer tells Kimmel. “Oh my god, you’re back? I gotta leave.”
Dormer also admits she spent a lot of time in Spain this year, which is no surprise to fans who have been following filming news. Photos from last September, taken in Girona, Spain, revealed spoilers from the upcoming season involving Margaery Tyrell.
The complete interview from Jimmy Kimmel Live is available on Hulu:
Dormer also spoke to Den of Geek about her reservations in taking on the role of Margaery, whom many have compared to another character the actress is well-known for- Anne Boleyn of The Tudors.
She considered not taking the part of Margaery due to the similarities, but GoT showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff convinced her with their trust that her characterizations would be different enough.
“In the end, they were right,” Dormer says to Den of Geek. “[Margaery and Anne] did turn out to be two totally different women. They want to be queen for different reasons and also, their demise of being thrown into a jail cell has definitely been played very differently. So, I think I had real trepidation and concern about doing that… [but] I think, if I believe what fans have told me in hindsight, they were right. They read as different people completely.”
