Episode 2: Olivia Cooke

The star of upcoming Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon joins George, David and Josh to say very little about a show she’s contractually obliged to not talk about.

They do get a few nuggets of information out of her before coming up with a plot of their own for the series.

Aside from Game of Thrones scoops, expect tales of gym farts in New York, falling over in-front of your crush on sports day and some scream training from Olivia’s time on set during Sound of Metal.

The episode also explores the pressures of the film industry as she discusses being told to lose weight for roles, the impact of what’s expected of actors on her mental health and how she’s adapted her outlook to have a more positive relationship with fitness.

Recorded on location at Before The Lights in summer 2021, following all Covid restrictions in place at the time.
