The fact that women used to have to film personal moments without intimacy coordinators astounds Olivia Cooke, star of House of the Dragon.
In addition, Cooke, who portrays Alicent Hightower in HBO’s Game of Thrones spin-off, claimed that women are still called “difficult” for objecting to sex scenes.
“It’s amazing to me that people had to just fudge their way through those scenes before those people existed,” Cooke stated in an interview with The i Paper.
For actors who are reluctant to express their discomfort with a scene, particularly those who are “just starting out and don’t have the vocabulary to say what they’re not comfortable with,” she applauded intimacy coordinators for acting as a “voice.”
