After learning from the mistakes of Game of Thrones, intimacy coordinator Miriam Lucia joined House of the Dragon to work and prepare actors for their intimacy scenes.
Game of Thrones was infamous for its sex scenes, some of which made actors uncomfortable on set. Others, like Sean Bean, believe that the lack of intimacy coordinators kept the “spontaneity” between actors on the show.
Perhaps this is why House of the Dragon took steps to make sure the actors felt comfortable performing intimate scenes for the show.
“Game of Thrones had a negative reputation–which they’ll admit–in terms of the press and the #MeToo movement, and with Emilia Clarke and other actors talking about how difficult and gratuitous it could be at times, and how much pressure they felt,” Miriam Lucia, an intimacy coordinator for House of the Dragon, told Deadline recently.
