Warning: There are spoilers ahead for the Game of Thrones finale!
Now that HBO’s epic drama Game of Thrones has reached its climax, a lot of details from the first days of the production of the show are arising. Elizabeth Olsen has recently revealed in an interview with Vulture that she auditioned for the role of Daenerys Targaryen long before she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Scarlet Witch. And according to Olsen, her GoT audition didn’t go well at all.
“When I first started working, I just auditioned for everything, because I like auditioning,” said Olsen. “And I auditioned for Khaleesi. I forgot that. It was the most awkward audition I’d ever had. [From] after she just burned. And she’s making this speech to thousands of people about how she’s their queen. They didn’t know if they wanted a British accent or not. So, you did it in both. It was terrible. Anytime someone says, ‘Bad audition story.’ That’s one I remember.”
