‘House Of The Dragon’ Star Says She Was Told To Play Her Role Like ‘Woman For Trump’

The premiere of the movie "House of the Dragon" was held in July of this year. In this photo, Jeff Kravitz is pictured.

The sixth episode of " House of the Dragon" will feature a new take on the role of Alicent.

The show's creators originally offered her a very specific source of inspiration for her character, according to a piece she wrote for Entertainment Weekly.

They told her to play Alicent like a woman for Trump, she said.

She couldn't stomach that.

"I didn't want to give them any more mental real estate than they already had" I tried to find a different route into her, but I could see that they were denying her rights and her own freedom. I couldn't go down that road.

It makes sense that an older Alicent would fit nicely into a far-right mindset if she were in America today.

Emily Carey depicts a young woman who is used by older and more powerful men as a pawn for their own political gain. Her father ordered her to end her relationship with King Viserys Targaryen. Viserys treated his queen like a womb after they married.

In the fourth episode, Princess Rhaenyra tells Alicent how romantic it is to be imprisoned in a castle and forced to squeeze out heirs.

Alicent has been bred to produce powerful men. Her only function in this life is that. She can tell herself that she is going to sway and nurture, but it is all bullshit. You won't be heard unless you fight the men. This straightjacket of oppression is how it is learning to live. How do I loosen the straps on a daily basis?

It sounds like she took a page out of Carey's handbook of playing the controversial character with more nuanced portrayals.

It was important for a humanitarian hook to be found in Alicent.

She admits that she does some bad things. You have to think that she is protecting her son. She is trying to keep the patriarchy in tact. The legitimacy of the crown is being upheld by her. She feels that all of these things are larger than she is. She turns to faith because she doesn't have any in her life and that's why.
