Matt Smith & Milly Alcock Get To Know Me | House of the Dragon | HBO Max
Hi, hello, I'm Milly, and I play Rhaenyra.
Hi, hello, I'm Matt, and I play Daemon.
Should we do paper, scissor, stones, to see who goes first?
Paper, scissors-- Scissors, paper, rock?
-Paper, scissor, stones. -All right.
This is, you know, culture differences here.
Yeah, I know.
Okay, so, hang on there, let's get the rules right.
Don't think about it, come on, just look at me.
I'm mind-fucking you here already.
-MILLY ALCOCK: No, you aren't. -Right, here we go.
BOTH: Scissors, paper, rock!
-Scissors, paper, rock. -Ah! Mother...
Here we go. Right...
"When did you find out you were cast?"
And there's more to it.
"What was the first thing you did
when you found out you got the role?"
I was at a friend's house and we were making dinner,
and I couldn't-- Obviously, I couldn't tell anyone
that I was auditioning for it.
And I took a phone call, sat outside,
and my agent was like, "Are you sitting down?"
-And I was like, "Ooh, yeah." -"You haven't got it."
"You haven't got it! Just letting you know!"
Um, and then he told me,
and then I kind of... I freaked out in the backyard,
and then just kinda came inside
and asked if he had a bottle of wine, he did,
so I just got drunk.
-Amazing. -MILLY: Yeah, great.
A woman after my own heart.
-MILLY: Is it my turn? -Is it your turn?
Yes, it is your turn.
Oh, God, it's a scroll.
-"You're not needed--" -Thanks.
-MILLY: "...on set for the day." -Cheers.
"How are you spending your free time?"
Matthew, how are you spending--
Uh, I'm gonna take Fabien, who plays Criston Cole,
to the local pub in Primrose Hill.
-Brilliant, there we go. Um... -There we go.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Okay, "What, if anything, did you take home from set?
If nothing, what would you want to bring home?"
-Did you take anything home? -No, I didn't.
I did.
-Did you? -Yeah.
-Well, you can get away with that kind of-- -Huh?
-MILLY: You can get away with that kind of stuff, I can't. -That's a lie.
So, what would you nick?
What would I take home from set?
I think my little knife that I have in... in, yeah.
I like that knife.
MILLY: It's a good little knife.
Did you use that on anyone?
Something.
-Without giving anything away? -But not anyone, but something.
Okay. "What was your first job?"
Acting job?
-Or first job? -Well, it's just job.
So what was your first "job" job?
Oh, God, we worked in the Rat & Parrot.
And on my first day, in my first hour,
someone was sick, but on the carpet--
-No! Oh, God. -Yeah.
And so I got a kind of dustpan and brush, and I had to clean it up.
"What's one thing you wish you started earlier?"
-Playing the piano. -MILLY: You play the piano?
-Well, you know... -You dabble?
-I-- You know, I don't like to talk about it. -Aww.
Never played very well.
Right. "What's one skill you picked up on set?"
-Horse riding. -(CHUCKLES)
I didn't pick it up on set. I, like, did a lot of--
We did a lot of lessons, learned how to ride a horse.
-It was pretty cool. -MATT SMITH: Moving onto our next-- Go on.
"If you weren't an actor, what would you do?"
Well, I would've liked to have been a footballer.
But I think I'd probably be a fashion designer.
-Um... (CHUCKLES) -Oh!
Okay, right.
"Who's your favorite character in Game of Thrones?"
I think Arya, Arya Stark.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
And the Hound, I don't know why.
-Good guy. -MILLY: Good guy.
Okay. "What's your favorite Game of Thrones moment
or battle?"
I mean, there's a lot, isn't there?
There's a lot.
Uh, let's go with the Battle of the Bastards.
"Who in your real life would be on your King's Council?"
Uh, my mom. Yeah, she's just, you know--
-MATT: Mum. -Your mom. Yeah, your mom.
-MATT: Mum's in? -Yeah, mom's in.
Mom's in. Of course she's in.
-That's very Targaryen. -Oh, yes.
