House of the Dragon’s Emily Carey on feminism, friendship and how she overcame a mental health ‘struggle’ while filming: 📷 theemilycarey
I’ll be honest: it was heavy. It was difficult to try and figure out the thought processes that were going on in Alicent's head. I'm a very immersive actor and that's just the way I work. If a director gives me a note, I can't think about the note. I just have to feel it. I black out, as soon as they say action. I'm not thinking as myself, for me, it's a true form of escapism from my own brain.
You’ve looked absolutely incredible at the red carpet events for House of the Dragons – was that a triumphant costume change, compared to the medieval period costumes you had to wear during filming? Thank you. The outfits on set were so detailed and intricate, but incredibly heavy and uncomfortable. The way that they pull you in it, it physically changes you and even changes how you breathe in. Which was great, because you feel like you're in the character again, so it makes your job that little bit easier, but I was glad to get them off at the end of the day – then I would I put my own clothes on and feel incredibly undressed! A lot of my press looks have had nods to the show in them.
