Game of Thrones has left a big impact worldwide. The fabled series has had great characters and intriguing tales that got fans stuck on to it for all eight seasons. Speaking of tales, the writers would prank the cast, giving out fake scripts. A similar prank was played on Kit Harington, better known as Jon Snow.
These pranks were sometimes taken too far as the actors weren’t told about the actual script for weeks. To an extent, the actors sometimes even agreed to it and took it literally while also adapting the fake script for their character.
Kit Harington got frightened upon knowing his fate in Game of Thrones
In a recent episode of the trendy series on YouTube, First We Feast, Hot Ones the well-appreciated character Arya Stark actor Maisie Williams spoke about these pranks that were played on the set of Game of Thrones.
She disclosed during the ‘Fact or Fiction’ round asked by the host Sean Evans, how the Pompei actor got really scared upon knowing his brutal end in the fabled series through the scripts, which were obviously fake.
The New Mutants actor said:
“They said that he (Kit Harington) got like really aggressively mauled on the face and he was gonna have like a huge disfigurement on his beautiful, you know chiseled jaw. And that was like (laughing) poor guy”
Besides the Eternals actor, Williams further also spoke of other actors who were pranked with fake scripts. She said that Alfie Allen was pranked with a fake script that read his character Theon Greyjoy, was killed by Bran in like a really anti-climatic way.
What other rumours were cleared about Game of Thrones
It was a huge rumor that when Queen Elizabeth visited the set of Game of Thrones, she refused to sit on the Iron Throne as she was bound to the laws that bared her from sitting on a foreign seat of state.
While asking about this, the actor from Pistol said:
“She didn’t necessarily like refuse. No one said sit on that chair. We all sort of just smiled and were like is she gonna do it? She (Queen Elizabeth) sort of looked at it and said that doesn’t look very comfy”
Further talking on the show Williams said that she is Right-Handed but did most of the sword scenes with her left hand, to be the exact character from the novel. She said that she liked reading things about Game of Thrones on the internet, where people were reacting to the goof-ups in the series that were not exactly depicted as the novel. So she decided to do the scenes using her left hand.
