One of the more notable moments from this week’s episode of Game of Thrones was the post-wedding/post-coitus scene with King Tommen and Margaery Tyrell, mostly due to Tommen’s, let’s say, “exuberance” about bedding his new bride. Man, was that kid pumped up. I like to picture him waking up the next morning and sending an email to all his friends with the subject line, “Guys. YOU GUYS.”
MTV caught up with the actor who plays Tommen, Dean-Charles Chapman, who was just 16 years old — 17 years younger than his television wife, Natalie Dormer — when the scene was filmed. In addition to calling the scene “disturbing” in context (uh, Tommen is 7 years old when the books begin, and probably about 13 or 14 right now on the show after they aged him up a bit), and saying lying in bed next to a nude Dormer was “pretty weird,” he elaborated on the things as follows.
“Natalie is a lovely person, she made it all completely smooth,” Chapman added. “It’s just really weird as a viewer to watch — even if I watch it, it’s pretty messed up, because Tommen is such a young kid. Margaery is like, this fully grown woman, who is really just using Tommen for the power she can get from him… But it’s good for me.”
“But it’s good for me.” Nice.
Chapman also discussed the other famous co-star he’s shared his bed with on the show, the notably absent royal feline, Ser Pounce.
“People were obsessed with him. He was a bit of a diva, but at the end of the day he’s only a cat, so when the director and the trainers are trying to get him to stand in position on the bed, or run off in a certain direction, it was a bit of a obstacle to get him to do it. But in the end, the final shot looks great, and he doesn’t really look like a diva. In truth, he was a bit of a bugger on set. But I’d like to see him back, I would. It’s down to the showrunners.”
You heard him, Benioff and Weiss. The king wants his goddamn diva bugger cat back.
