House Of The Dragon Cast Take On A Chaotic Mystery Interview

I get told I'm M.O.G. Olivia loves travel, right? Who doesn't? This is what this press tour's for. Oh my goodness. Oh my god! It's awful. Really awful. That's crazy. Oh, I'm excited now. What's that? Look how you pushed it in. Got it there. Huge congrats on season three. Yeah, I was gagging the whole time. You guys really know how to end an episode. We do have to pull one out for the great Eve Best. Absolutely. Every time. But I think, Abu, you make a perfect new scene partner for season three. As we can't discuss spoilers, we're going to put you on our Iron Throne and let you control this interview. For each question, I'm going to give you two categories. You pick one, and then I ask you a question based on that category. Does that make sense? Let's go for it. I think it will do. So the first one is Targaryen or Hightower? Targaryen. Oh, Targaryen. Targaryen. Yeah. Hightower. So if you had the power to change the Targaryen house motto to anything, what would you make it? Don't eat that. No. Bring back gingers. Live, love, laugh. That's crazy. Yeah, I can't. Yeah, that's brilliant. Everyone in Westeros could do with living, laughing, loving. Yes, exactly. Live fast, die old. David Brent. David Brent, yeah, that's it. Very good. Chill out and have fun. But in Latin, you know. Yeah, nice. Can you speak Latin? It's been that long since I've studied Latin. I probably can't. We've all had a drink. Yeah. We've all had a drink. Just calm down, everyone. Calm down. Just calm down a bit. Chill out. We've all had a drink. Do what you want. Stop it. Do what you want. What was the current one for a drink? The current one's fire and blood. Fire and blood. So they're similar. It's similar, isn't it? We've all had a drink. Do you know what I mean? We've all had a drink. Fire and blood, salt and pepper. Do you know what I mean? Put it down. I would say maybe from God to man. Okay, that's quite deep. That is very deep. Yeah, what does that mean? They see themselves as the ones who are close to God. Because of the dragons. Because of the dragons, right? So it's almost like from themselves to man. Like the idea of them always seeing themselves as superior to man. Which is terrible because that's, you know, very... Oh, that's interesting. Because when you said that, I was thinking you were saying it as like, that's their reminder that they aren't gods. Oh, no, no, no. I think that they see themselves as God. And God specifically rather than necessarily gods. Which is what the old sort of Westerosian sort of people believe in. Many gods, whereas they are like... Go with that. That's very deep. Fabian suggested keep it in the family. Keep it in the family. Blood, blood. Keep it in the family. That's a good one. That sounds just like Fabian. That's good, yeah. That's a good one. Keep it in the family. What is the Hightower house motto? We light the way. The Hightower house motto is we light the way. It's not very truthful. How did they get that? We light the way. They are a bunch of self-righteous pompous... We'll illuminate the path. Okay. We illuminate the path. So Hightower, if you had the power to change the Hightower house motto to anything, what would it be? Because famously it is we light the way. We light the way. We'll take a word each. Freddie. Don't start with me. Eat. Sleep. Love. The remake of the famous Eat, Drink, Love. Eat, sleep and love. Actually sounds awesome. Words live by. That's a motto, isn't it? It's right. All your characters live by. You've got that right. Yeah, King's Landing, here I come. In a way. I don't think Alison sleeps much. Who's the best chef in the Hightower house? That's a great question. I think Gawain. Gawain's good. You know that Gawain gets up a quick. He rustles up a little. Mushrooms on toast in the morning on tour. That's right. You know how it goes. Serving the throne or serving face? What is serving face? What's serving face? Serving face means serving looks. Oh my God. Being good looking. What you're doing right now on YouTube. Then like that one. Then that one. When you put this on. No, because you want me to. Serving face. Yeah. Let's go serving face. Serving face. Face. Serving face, girl. Serving face. The face cards in the House of the Dragons Season 3 are immaculate. But who in the Season 3 cast is the ultimate on-screen baddie when it comes to serving face? Mine's the strongest. Everyone serves so much face. Tom jokes about that. When he comes out as Ulf and the regalia and the wig. He is gorgeous. No. Stop it. Everyone is so beautiful. No, no, no. He's absolutely gorgeous. His outfit is. No, genuinely. Yes, my outfit. Beautiful. He's disgusting. We don't even have to question it. The face masks is in. My face cards. Miss Saria. Snowy Mizuna. The Greek. Every time. Matt Smith. Harry Cullet. Emma. Oh, well, there we go. Whoa. We've got a very beautiful cast. There's some discrepancy in the choices, but we all feel that they're strong choices. Yeah, very strong choices. And Harry does. Yeah, Harry famously, actually. We had told this yesterday. It's got to be this one. Sorry. What did you call it yesterday? I get told I'm Mog. Absolute king of the model phase. King of Mogging, apparently. Always. Even when he's sleeping. You have also been dubbed the server of face online. Oh, really? There you go. I'll take that. He told us this yesterday. Wow. It's been talked about on the internet, he told us. Have I been dubbed that online? You've been dubbed it in this interview. I've been dubbed other things online, haven't I? He's a beautiful, he's a beautiful young man. Young man. He is a beautiful young man. He really is, yeah. He's the joy of a young man. He is, and we've, you know. Watched him grow up. And we've watched that hair grow too, and my God. There's a lot of good looking people in this show. There is. She's my betrothed for a reason. You need to teach me about serving Mog. Serving Mog. I think Targaryens as well, we have beautiful face cards in the ring like that. Thank you. I figure I can get it. The one that comes to mind just like that is Aemond. Yeah. What's so funny is like he's such a lovely and kind human being. So sweet. Like genuinely. He's like a puppy. He's so wonderful. Put the camera on him, put that thing on, and he's just like darkness. Blue steel. Yeah, yeah. Blue steel. Yeah, just evil. Yeah. I'm going to go with Aemond. Aemond. Good. Aemond. Good. But I mean, there's that thing in episode two. So much face. Serious face. So much face. They are gorgeous. Yeah. Oh my God. Ridiculous. Was that Clinton, your brother? I mean, yeah. He's got a great face. But let's just leave it at that, right? Yeah. I'm still trying to recover from the fact that, you know, they cast the most beautiful guy for my brother. And I'm like, yeah. It's like, oh, you'll do. Do you know what I mean? I'm not even a dragon right now. You're all right. I was just like, why did they give me such good looking boys? No, people know that didn't come from me. Also, Abu did actually complain that he was cast across a brother so attractive. Hey, I appreciate it. Well, I'm sick and tired of being on screen with him all the time. I love you, Abu. I'm sorry to kind of toot my own horn here, but I'm like pretty much the only member of the cast in the bundle of a gullet who doesn't have a beard. And therefore, like the face is facing and the cheekbones are cheekboning because, and I'm not just taking credit for this because Nina and Helen who did the hair and makeup on Sharika did an incredible job. So I think just bias towards my own makeup team. Definitely. That whole scene. Absolutely. Just like the way that the grime just perfectly forms a contour. I'll tell you, there was a moment where a water cannon went off in my face during the filming and it blew all my makeup off and I had to redo all of it except my mascara. And that is how we discovered that Lancôme waterproof mascara is actually pirate proof. And they're not paying me, but I can tell you, if you have a wave cannon going off in your face, the mascara will stay. Lancôme, Abigail is here. What do you want to do? I know more about serving the throne. Me too. Let's do Serving the Throne. So Serving the Throne, if you could give the Iron Throne to any character in the House of the Dragon universe, who would you crown and who would you avoid at all costs? I'd love to give it to Laris. I actually, I'm not being arrogant. I actually think that'd be quite good. I'd love to give it to Laris just to see what happens. This could either be brilliant or awful. Definitely enjoy it. I don't know. Yeah, maybe. I think he'd get ---- done. I don't know who'd be the worst. Cole would crumble. Yeah. Cole would. Yeah. Cole would, just all the anxieties would come out. He'd fly. He's a panicker. Do you know who'd be great is Gwaine. Gwaine Hightower. He's so good. I think he'd be. Ormond would be awful. Yeah. Good old Ormond. Yeah. Not yourself. Not Aegon. I mean, there's a given. But yeah, that's it. You're on the, you know. Yeah. It's mine. Exactly. Okay. Fight or flight? That'd be a good one for Aegon and Laris. Yeah. That's part of the problem with the show, isn't it? Yeah. That's the whole debate, isn't it? The whole debate. Fight. None of us take flight. Fight. No. We all fight. I don't have wings. Fight. Okay. If your character had to battle it out on a reality TV competition, what show would they win? Oh, that's good. Alan would be Naked Attraction. We can make that. Season four. Great. I think that's what Westeros is missing. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I'm going to say, for Corliss, it would be. What's a show where you need to use your brain to figure out puzzles and ----? Where you're pointless or like. Mastermind? The Apprentice. Yeah. Oh, okay. That's what I'd give. I'd say Corliss would be at that. Glow Up. No. Yeah. Yes. University Challenge. Bear Grylls The Island. Oh. Yeah. I was going to say Love Island, but. Could you imagine Chris Nicole on Love Island? Yeah, I can. Murdering all the other contestants. I think Chris would probably be a bombshell on Love Island. Yeah. He'd be the moody one. He'd be the one definitely playing three different people at once. Falling in love with every single one. Telling all of them, I love you and I will die for you. Constantly. In the gym corner. Yeah. I mean, Love Island. Sharika would win Love Island. Come on. She's got so many wives already. Yeah. And really like create some drama. Yeah. And she loves being at the seaside. She loves being on the beach. She loves an island. Just like. Also, we need some queer Love Island representation. Absolutely. I mean, Sharika, she'd. Everybody. Anybody. This is true. Love Island. I mean, Damon would be quite the bombshell. No. Naked and Afraid. Yeah. I've been watching that recently and it's good telly. What do you do on Naked and Afraid? Abu suggested Naked Attraction. Well, Naked and Afraid, you're just dropped naked in like the middle of like, you know, the Serengeti and they're like, right, you can stay for 21 days and you meet someone you got like a knife and a bow staff and that's it. Anyway, but I mean, I was watching it last night. He would do great. I love Alone. Have you ever seen that? That's the thinking person, Naked and Afraid. Is that why Naked and Afraid is yours? Like, what is what is Alone? It's just someone being on their own. Alone. Yeah. Alone is. This is what this press tour is for. Alone is about a load of people who are all entirely on their own. They film it on their own and they have to survive as many days as possible. Like in the Arctic. In the Arctic? Yeah. They have 10 items. They have kit. But they're like surviving. Has it made a channel? How dare you? Anyway, Raniera would be terrible on that show. Alone? Yeah. She might be more peaceful. No, but she doesn't work well as a sort of solo operative. She's. God. I think Naked. I think Naked and Afraid. Naked and Afraid though, Damon would do great on. Obviously Traitors would be an obvious pick for. Alison. Oh yeah. She'd be a great traitor. You'd be a great traitor. I think Alison slash me, because it's me. I think we can't really hide when we're lying. No? I don't know. I'm making stuff up. It's early. For Corliss, it wouldn't be Traitors, because Corliss doesn't like that. I couldn't ******* imagine. No. I mean, if I was on that show, I'd like to be a traitor. That's the more, that's the funner part, isn't it? Did you watch that last Celebrity Bomber? It was really good. I was hooked. They should have you on. Thanks. He's free. Traitors. There's no other answers there. Like, who do you actually think would win out of all the characters in Traitors? Traitors. Someone really kind of unassuming and. You or Harry Cole. Oh my god. Yeah. That's so true. Can you imagine him at the end going, I am a traitor? Yeah. **** you, Kurt. Yeah, **** you, Kurt. I think you could do a great Claudia Winkleman fringe. Yes, I could. I saw her recently in a restaurant. And she just seems like the loveliest mother to her children. What a lovely segue. Yeah. I hope she has kids. That it was actually Claudia Winkleman. Flight or flight? Flight. Okay, so on an international press tour like this, you'll be flying all over the world. Obviously. Will we? What? When's that? When are we doing that? You didn't get the itinerary? Where am I going? Hold on, where am I going? Geneva. Oh, I'm excited now. He said obviously. What's the best film you've ever watched on a plane? I watched Sinners on the way to Texas. I haven't seen that yet. Do you know what I watched on the way to Texas? UK cops in Aussie. Why are you like this? It's like a reality show. Why are you laughing? I don't know. I could have watched something great. I started watching The Mighty Supreme and I was like, oh no, because I want to try and get some sleep. So I started watching reality TV on the plane. Ten hours? No, I watched June on the plane. On another ramp, yeah. Actually, I watched Hidden Figures, which is one of my favorite films of all time, on a plane a long time ago. Yeah, I'm going to say that actually. Sinners was amazing, but Hidden Figures is just... Snakes on a plane. Inception. Shrek. Just as Nolan intended. Now we're just saying films. Shrek. We're just saying films now. Inception. What's the best film I've ever watched on a plane? Maybe The Lion King, I guess, for me. The OG. Yeah, OG, comfort film. I think I watched Blow with Johnny Depp. That's a great one. That's a great film. Oh, The Holdovers I enjoyed. Do you remember when we were coming back from Paris? I watched You've Got Mail. That's a brilliant film. Something comforting. Finally, if you ruled the Seven Kingdoms, what would you make the official national anthem? Oh. For example, people often associate Rhaenyra and Alicent with Good Luck Babe by Chapel Rowan. Olivia loves Chapel Rowan. Who doesn't? I don't know any Chapel Rowan. See, I knew it, dude. I knew you would. Because you both hate women. That's not right. Because I was listening to Mozart. I'm sorry. Fair enough. I think Beethoven, actually. Honestly, it's more... I was actually listening to some Hans Zimmer stuff on the car. I saw him live. Bit of that. Come on. She-Wolf, Shakira. Ooh, better. Nice. Excellent. Sean Paul. I'm going to give it to you. Go your own way, Fleetwood Mac. I'm going to go Don't Get Me Wrong by The Pretenders. I think maybe Black Eyed Peas, Where Is The Love? Yeah. That's more honest, somehow, but also slightly depressing. Yeah, that's true. We need something to uplift. Yeah, yeah. We're trying to mask the attachment issues. Purple Rain. Oh, that's so good. Imagine. That's so good. Imagine. Every time they come to this. Good. With me, it'd be Let's Get It On. Jeez. Wow. What a show. Wow. I don't know if we get anything done from this. Except each other. Like father, like son. Yeah. Well, we know that Corvus has quite a reputation. Oh, yes. Yeah. That's why they call him the sea snake. Oh, my God. Stop it. Cut it there. Pink Pony Club. High five. That would be nice. That'd be great. That's so good. All the dragons. Love it. Yeah. Laris is on the throne. Pink Pony Club. Vote for me. What's that one called? Low. Low Rider. That one. Yeah. Go on. How do you take this one, Mr. DJ? Well, I wasn't even going to say a house music song. I was going to say. What about your favorite? No, not that one. Not that one. That isn't right. I'll probably say. Yeah, okay. I'll say a house music song. It was an album that come out last night. Ooh. That I listened to this morning by Prosper. It's called Body Heat. Something fun. Something like Voulez-vous. If you're happy in your night, clap your hands. Yeah. I'm going to say Voulez-vous. I'll vote. Voulez-vous. Your go-to karaoke song. Hopefully my next job will be Mamma Mia reboot. Yeah. The fourth one. Yeah. Oh my God, yeah. Dance by Slater. Such a good song. It's incredible. I love it. Everything that she puts out. I'm just like, this is so good. I saw her live in London and she dropped a surprise cover of Diamonds Are Forever. And I was like. Oh my goodness. Oh my God. So wait, you were a fan before Worst Girl in America. Oh God. Yeah, yeah. I've been following Slater for years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Top three Slater songs. Dance is a banger. I do love that one. Cannibalism is really, really great. Miss Belladonna was the inspiration for the short film that I wrote, Dracula's Ex-Girlfriend, where my character is called Belladonna after that song. We need to get Slater in. Please. Yes, absolutely. For the wives? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get her in. Notorious V.I.G. Very nice. Firestarter by The Prodigy. Cashmere by Led Zeppelin. But all three of us would rule, so it'd have to be a Megamix mashup. Remix. Speaking of Megamix mashup, at the end of the year, we are creating a band and we're going to release an album. Well, the band has already been created. We are releasing our debut album at Eurovision. Watch this space. Thank you all so much. Thank you so much. Thank you. That was fun. Thank you. Well, as you mentioned, reality TV, I'm going to ask you the fire question anyway. Okay. If your character had to battle it out on a reality TV show, which competition would they win? Ooh. Ninja Warrior UK. That's brilliant. She would win. What about you? God, what about Jason? Who would housewives of? Jason. Wes Rose's next top model. Yes. Towie.
