Legend has it that Olivia still has a passion for fashion.

[@krandal9168]

It's the best part of s1 press tour 😂

[@TheCrazeace]

I love the part when Olivia shares that she and Emma just randomly saw each other on vacation and just decided to hang out. Nice to know they really get along outside of their roles considering how intense their character's resentment towards each other

[@MrRop-yp3wt]

Lol why wouldn't they get a long. Its like Tyrion and Cersei

[@alexrosette596]

I’d actually imagine than being good friends makes it easier to act out enemies. more trust, perhaps!

[@edenthoughts]

exactly, but they were friends before the series too lol

[@TheUnstoppableBar]

They’re actually very close if you judge by some older Instagram posts

[@billytessio6326]

Its called acting lol

[@gabemaldonado9296]

She’s so charismatic. I’m really enjoying her portrayal of Queen Alicent on HOTD.

[@mikodizon8322]

such a gem

[@dariojovicic9346]

she is my favorit in the show

[@djverre455]

She’s a northerner. Charisma comes easier to us than people from down south.

[@DANiCL4WS]

omg no one could play her like her

[@shy6083]

Olivia saying no one has seen her other films makes me so sad, I loved her in thoroughbreds and sound of metal, she's such a phenomenal wide range actor. she deserves every bit of praise and more

[@Dani_1012]

How was Thoroughbreds? I'm picky with films

[@shy6083]

@@Dani_1012 it's more on the slow burn side. but it's one of my comfort films. it has a darker theme while having bright cinematography. really great characters. Anya taylor joy is in as well, and she's great too.

[@Dani_1012]

@@shy6083 I'll try it then. I've had it on and off my watch list for years, added it because I like Anya but wasn't sure if I should watch it as the story seemed like a hit or miss for me, guess I'll take a look at it now

[@timothyw98]

So nobody saw her in Ready Player One or Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.

[@RigbieWater]

Sameee i have seen her enough movies to the point i was surprised that she is not american

[@aidan-mrtl]

god her personality is so captivating she's amazing

[@Qmcvnd70]

I love how genuine Olivia’s love for Emma is, and how flawlessly she is with using their pronouns. Their relationship is so effortless and beautiful

[@TheReventusElites]

I was just about to say this! She didn´t get them wrong ONCE.

[@ryangosling135]

Non-binary is a myth and you are participating in collective delusion

[@milenavega768]

Thanks for bringing her. I would also love to see Emma and Matt on the podcast 💚

[@SelfPhobic]

This needs to happen!!

[@nkxseal8398]

I don't think I've seen them together doing any publicity yet :(

[@privatepodcast]

So pleased you enjoyed the episode 💛

[@Henrywheeler97]

@@privatepodcast matt and emma please

[@4fawksake707]

make this happen please 😄

[@michellep5387]

It's easy to see why she's on so many shows lately, she's so dynamic and a delight to listen to!

[@reylatable]

I knew Olivia first, from Bates Motel where she did an outstanding acting job. I was so glad to see her as older Alicent, I screamed 😅. She’s great !

[@7625e]

Olivia's acting is GOATED. Im glad i was introduced to her through this show WOW just WOW!!! All Hail My Queen!!

[@iconoclast6555]

I don't hate her character. Alicent is very layered and just like what they did to Viserys, the show really fleshed out her character so much more. I never understood why other book readers came to the show with a massive hate on Alicent when I've read the books too and understood it to be more of a record of history so we didn't really get an in-depth look at Alicent's behavior and motivations, so even when I read the books a long time ago I never got the sense that she was a villain. Olivia and Emily did such a great job with Alicent. Easily the best character in HoTD after Viserys maybe.

[@kreisti2726]

ya man, even at the show i cant say she is a bad person. yes she have kids to protect but she never deceive anyone with ill manner or hurt anyone intentionaly

[@Ariaasu]

@@kreisti2726 dude she literally killed a child maid with moon tea only because her son raped her 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@biclexual]

I'm reading the book after having watched the show and even now I truly don't understand the people who say her character has been diminished and she lacks bitchy queen autonomy 😂 She's got so much depth to her, whereas in the book at the point where S1 ends, she's still quite one-dimensional. So many people hate her character, but I guess they're dismissing Alicent's history and the way she's been influenced by her father and whatnot.

[@lindgrenland]

*possible light spoiler alert NEE-NAW NEE-NAW WUUUUUUH WUUUUUH* Alicent was my favourite character (show). She had a lot of conflict within her, did some questionable things, but her genuine love and care really made her stand out too. I liked how she seemed to have some sense of duty or responsibility, even as she struggled with her personal situation. And how she actually tried pretty hard to hold back some of the more sinister people that surrounds her (like her guard, damn I hated that guy by the end) I think people just assume they're supposed to automatically root for New Daenerys

[@roperjuliano1234]

Olivia: I would go home when I'm 18 doing such emotional scenes and thinking they're Oscar worthy, saying to myself, "I'm an actor!" So FUNNY, had me rolling, loved this session guys!

[@alexandradun1953]

she's an icon, she's a legend ... and SHE IS THE MOMENT !

[@InIdGr]

I need Olivia to know that we (her fans) have watched all the projects she's been in!!!! She's a terrific actress ♥️😭

[@lilianal410]

Olivia if you’re reading this, we have loved EVERYTHING you’ve been in. I remember when I was much younger and watched her in Me, Earl & The Dying Girl and immediately searched up everything else she was in because I totally fell in love with her acting and her as a person.

[@sabzspursfan127]

Love Olivia, what a breath of fresh air and an incredible talent. Also Jamie - you are a truly fantastic interviewer. You're so attentive, show that you really care about what you're asking, show genuine interest, and then continue the conversation in such a brilliant way.

[@krustomer]

Totally agree! First time watching, love their style

[@hompotreka]

Hes found his true talent!!

[@sinemkirk9983]

Im so drawn to her. I really love how honest and vulnerable she is about herself and her experiences 🥲

[@rinmartell2678]

I hope she gets an Emmy nomination for her role as Alicent. Olivia is a terrific actress.

[@marti9734]

Alicent is probably my favorite character from the show. Olivia Cooke is soo GOOD. Shes doing amazingly

[@annabelleehelpme]

Been following her for so long and only just realized she was English a year ago because she plays so many American roles 😅 Was so excited when she was cast she’s so good

[@ahrockerz8665]

This is such a good interview!! I loved hearing how they did rehearsals and even went to act out some of the young Alicent/Rhaenyra scenes to build that bond. Truly fascinating. Olivia Cooke just seems like a gem of a person.

[@manvirshergill1739]

I'm really loving her performance as Alicent.

[@krandal9168]

That part 23:36 to 23:47 where Olivia gushed how brilliant Emma's work as Rhaenyra is should be a meme 😊

[@CourtneyLeighannaE]

So happy you brought Olivia back on, cause honestly listen to her all day, she's so real and humble & I have a mad respect for her.

[@annambrant]

this is one of my favourite podcasts from you guys so far! olivia is so well spoken, a great episode 🎉

[@privatepodcast]

Wow, thanks so much 💛

[@96Jazangel]

God I love her! And Emma too. Some of the greatest on screen rivalries are because of the actors real life friendship and genuine closeness. 💖

[@FeralMutiny]

I adore Olivia! She absolutely grabbed me as Emma on Bates Motel and never disappointed me! When I heard she was gonna be on the prequel to the Game Of Thrones, I was so excited and happy for her. It was almost like getting to see a friend that you haven't heard from in a long time! She is CRUSHING it now as Allicent and I can't wait to see where this show goes following what happened at the end of Episode 9! Great job Olivia!

[@lornebalfe2789]

I feel like I’ve been rewatching HotD just for the sake of Olivia’s performance. She’s created such a fascinating character to behold, her Alicent is one of the most complex and conflicted characters I’ve ever seen🤩🥹

[@anikethchakraborty3238]

Same

[@Gustyrd1]

I love this. I hope someday we get a podcast with Emma and more HotD actors too.

[@LuLu24Ayo]

I know they’re just people and they have nerdy goofy interests alike but I think the internet would break if they ever tried their hand at D&D play throughs. I know I’d faint at the thought of Matt playing a character himself within a Westeros themed D&D world. 🥹🥹

[@koobikei]

stumbled upon this 2 years lated and really loved listening to you guys! especially loved the alam rickman bit

[@hulktown_hero]

Wow what an episode, absolutely stunning!

[@shreddedpapers]

Such a great podcast to watch and listen to and I just loooove how easygoing Olivia is and how she enjoys talking about her experience, it's really so fun to listen to. I really hope both Olivia and Emma get the recognition they deserve, they really were incredible on HotD!!

[@SpaceMod2]

I wish we had more down to earth conversations like this with other actors.

[@Mikayla_Y_1998]

I feel the same way!

[@mione134]

A wonderful podcast! Olivia is delightful! And let me say, I loved her in the underrated Sci-fi movie The Signal. We know your movies!!! Trust!

[@emilyhowe1595]

Great chat guys! Could honestly listen to Olivia all day

[@privatepodcast]

Thanks so much 💛

[@gulnozanormuminova930]

She did an amazing job as Alicent her character much more complex and layered i enjoyed her character

[@Hannah.hkp6]

Love her accent sm

[@marelynhaines9606]

I love the whole cast from the younger ones to the ones playing them now. They picked some of the best ppl for House of the Dragon and I will say they have filled those shoes man. They are making me proud especially as a fan of The GOT series. I cant wait for the next season!!!!!

[@Andrei-ep]

No la conocía antes de Alicent, esta haciendo un trabajo maravilloso con su personaje. Olvia es muy carismática y cautivadora, gran actriz 🥰

[@LuvCulture69]

Omg I adore her!!! This was a really good podcast

[@herauthenticself7749]

Great procast episode l seriously love olivia cooke! She so down to earth, and such a fantastic actress her portray of allicent Hightower's is fantastic. I'm glad to see her getting more love ,and recognition for her acting!♥️

[@GarethDaviesArt]

i never thought i would enjoy i podcast so much, honestly i didnt stop smiling, it was like watching jonathan ross or grahman norton, i think you lads make very good hosts/interviewers

[@reem.a.m]

Such an amazing character and person, she portrays the queen so good and in a way that makes me think she’s real, I think in season two she we’ll become more like cersi and i caan’t wait to see her

[@LuLu24Ayo]

She’s so loveable and Lena Headey almost stayed out of the perception of “goofy loveable actress” she stayed known as a wonderful and fun person but you never quite saw her vulnerable too much in media, and I think that helped with the building of Cersei , and now here with Alicent many who have and have not read the books are seeing this goofy and loveable side of Olivia and it’s almost helping her own character be seen as having a certain duality, she IS loved and hated by many. Whereas Cersei was tragically loved and woefully hated by many. It’s a much different dynamic and I’m thrilled to see more of R.R. Martin’s QUEENS be fleshed out more.

[@KalvinPatel]

AWESOME interview. Olivia is an amazing personality!

[@amosand7476]

She comes across so humble and down to earth and her character as alicent is amazing I thought I would not like her from the books but she is my favourite character I’m kinda team green sorry everyone

[@tinyd0ts]

I love this conversation. I usually get bored easy in some podcasts but just by listening, you’re like friends catching up. Would love to see Matt and EMMA pleaseeee

[@Caff3ineCatastr0phe]

Olivia better get an Oscar one day or I will lose my shit. She totally deserves it. She’s incredibly talented and a wonderful person with a captivating personality

[@rivermistfae]

so relatable and down to earth and cool, what a treasure ♡ i would love to hear more about her interactions with Paddy cause they seem like similar people 🙃

[@theooo8789]

the similarity between Olivia and Emily is insane, like, when she laughs I can see Emily Carey. AMAZING CASTING

[@LuLu24Ayo]

And her answer was beautiful because I think most audience members agree that we’d assume they maybe practiced mannerisms around each other or even spoke about the character together to better portray the same person on the show, but the way she explained that they had overlapping schedules and it wouldn’t have been convenient but the casting directors just did their job wonderfully. I love that!! Give them the credit yes!!! They worked so hard and it shows! And yes it’s a huge compliment to both actresses playing Alicent.

[@scorpioj3]

They're both so talented. Emily played Alicent with her subtle anger and rage as a teenager who was stolen of her teenage years. Olivia played Alicent with her drive and determination as a mother who would do anything for her children.

[@rael1999]

Down to earth, so talented and naturally beautiful. Her accent is quite light, but still reminds me of where I was born and brought up on the edge of the Pennines.

[@velmorfilm]

loved this episode! your podcasts with liv are the best

[@privatepodcast]

Thanks so much for the support, so pleased you enjoyed the episode 💛

[@bellatrixrules10]

Need her to know Alicent is not hated by everyone. She definitely has HATERS but real ones know Alicent is the best character on the show. Our repressed lesbian queen is loved by the girlies ❤️

[@hh-ug4ki]

need her to know the REAL ones get alicent, the REAL ones who know how to analyze media and characters in a non shallow or totally misogynistic way! also yes our repressed lesbian queen

[@Ariaasu]

A child killer hypocrite moralist? That's the best character for you? 🥴

[@sebastiaanv]

@@Ariaasu 😂

[@sebastiaanv]

@@hh-ug4ki if only alicent had the same non misogynistic way of thinking towards Rhaenyra

[@robbyten100]

I don't hate her. She has her reasons for why she does what she does but she is a massive hypocrite and a huge pawn for others while she thinks she is in more control than she is. Definitely an interesting character.

[@kandices]

Olivia is absolutely fantastic. Her portrayal of alicent is perfect too. Can’t wait to see where all she gets to go from here 🫶🏻

Decided to watch; Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) after, hearing Liv state no one has seen her other films. Funny and teary-eyed film with great acting from Liv and her co-stars. One to watch with a box of tissues for sure.

[@cmistryreeves]

Olivia Cook is so charming and lovely. She’s a treasure. All the best to her. Her self awareness is her strength and charm. As Queen Alicent she’s the opposite! Everyone can see her fatal flaws except herself. So well done Olivia!! ❤️❤️

[@LuLu24Ayo]

Liv: What time did you land last night? Alex: Late… late. Liv: *What time* did you land? *alicent intensifies* Lol I loved how she mothered the boys portraying her boys in the show, and I see it now whenever she’s a sassy friend 😂😂

[@dihboas]

she's the coolest

[@outqast]

My favorite part & the reason I fell in love with #OliviaCooke was her role in an amazing film called #TheSignal (2014) . This film is so underrated, and without her, is far from thr importance of what it is in my heart. If you have not seen it please do! It's bonkers & weird, strange, dark, mysterious, painful & beautiful sci-fi drama that has never been equaled. At that time (2014) It was deeply moving & inspirational and the complicated love story that unfolds left me hoping for a follow up that we never got. It is easily where Olivia Cooke became for more than just a beautiful & heartbreaking part in a misunderstood film that always kept me looking for her in any film I could find.

[@kristellemanayaga7803]

Loved her on OUIJA 💜🫶👻

[@hh-ug4ki]

alicent only hated because she's too complex and layered for most casual viewers (especially those who are constantly influenced by social media opinions) to understand! but she is loved by the REAL ones, need her to know that! and by the gays. we love our repressed closeted queen.
