If you spend as much time looking at photos of Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer on Getty Images as I do — I mean, Norman Q. Uproxx III makes me — then you’ve probably noticed that she has the same unmistakable facial expression in nearly all of them. It looks a little something like:

But is it natural, or a duckface waiting to happen? Here’s what Dormer told the Sunday Times.

Publicists are evil. Also, Haughty Smugness sounds like the name of the lead singer in a 1980s punk band. I’d pay to see Haughty Smugness and the Lopsided Mouth.
