“The biggest lesson I learned from the show

was stamina. Jesus. It’s a riot but it’s an absolute

slog too. You really have to be mentally and

physically prepared for just how gruelling the

schedule is. Shooting a 10 page scene for 2 weeks

is a test. At the start of the job, you’re eating fruits

and nuts but three months down the line that has

all been derailed and you’re stuffing two Double

Deckers a day into your gob.” 

Following House of the Dragon’s much-anticipated

release, Olivia Cooke covers our Autumn/Fall 2022

issue and tells Scarlett Baker about becoming Alicent

Hightower, embracing challenging plot lines and finally

finding self-acceptance.
