With a cast of 72,392, it’s surprising that Game of Thrones hasn’t hired MORE porn stars. But the actresses they do get are the industry’s most acclaimed. Like Samantha Bentley, who won Best Sex Scene in a Foreign-Shot Production and was nominated for Female Foreign Performer of the Year at the 2015 AVN Awards. She bathed in a tub with Salladhor Saan in season four, and reappeared in season five as a prostitute who looks like Daenerys in a Volantis brothel.
The 26-year-old Bentley recently spoke to Esquire about “coming out” as a porn star to her parents, her first boy-girl scene (key quote: “When you’ve done hardcore porn, you can’t go back”), and how she landed on Game of Thrones, which naturally involved a naked audition.
I got a call saying, “Game of Thrones wants you to read for this scene for season four.” My friend had to film me in the buff reading the lines for the scene and we had to email the video to the casting directors. I only had one line. I didn’t hear anything for weeks and weeks. Then I got a call after I’d just landed in Barcelona [to shoot porn scenes] and they said, “Game of Thrones needs you the day after tomorrow to be in Ireland.” I was booked to do four [porn] scenes over two days in Barcelona, so I said to the porn company, “We have to shoot everything tomorrow, then I’m leaving.” (Via)
Bentley was asked to wear an assless dress in a scene she called “iconic in the series.” I hope she and Emilia Clarke get to sit down one day and talk about people who come up to them asking, “You’re Daenerys with her ass out?” It’s this year’s most popular Halloween costume, right after Joker with his ass out.
I was really excited to shoot a scene with Tyrion. Shooting it was kind of nerve-racking because there were so many people in that scene. Obviously I’ve done porn, but on porn sets everyone’s naked. On the Game of Thrones set, I’m walking around with my ass out and everyone’s eyes are on me. The pressure! But this season I did feel like a little part of it because I’d been there before and people knew me from last season. (Via)
To recap: Peter Dinklage looking at your butt is more intimidating than starring in Lesbian Adventures: Older Women Younger Girls 7 or Unplanned Orgies 21.
At least on HBO, the orgies are planned.
