![]() Yes, the star is now 22 years old, but she's been on the show since she was 11. Okay, so fictional ages aside, there is still the question of actress Maisie Williams' age. Maisie Williams and Joe Dempsie pose at the Belfast Premiere for Game of Thrones. She strips off, revealing the scars on her torso, and says: "I'm not the Red Woman, take your own bloody pants off" - yasss! In true Arya fashion, she takes control of the situation, kissing him passionately on the mouth, before pushing him back onto bags of dragon feed or summink. Our ears pricked up, our hearts were pounding and our jaws were dropped, as we thought: "Shit! Is this actually going to happen?" Then, after he tells Arya about his ordeal with leeches, she demands he tell her his number (sis, don't ever ask that question). She first quizzes Gendry over his relationship with the Red Woman, whom Gendry followed instead of Arya waaaay back when. On what could potentially be their last night alive, Arya took the opportunity to experience some more *human* activities. Our favourite blacksmith, Gendry, then tracks her down to give Arya her custom-made weapon. Getting up from the snow, she sassily says: "I'm not spending my last night alive with you two miserable old shits!", before she goes to shoot some arrows. Perhaps she's just realised there are bigger fish to fry (I mean, the White Walkers' ambush is imminent), but we catch a glimpse of Arya's true personality coming through, instead of the cold-blooded killer we've grown accustomed to. ![]() The Hound asks Arya if Beric is on her list of names, to which she responds "he was for a time". In the lead up to the scene, Arya is sat on the walls of Winterfell with The Hound and Beric Dondarrion. In the second episode of season 8, all those fan theories about Arya and Gendry's romance were confirmed, as the pair got it onnnn. IRL, Joe Dempsie is now 31 years old, and Maisie Williams is 22.Īrya and Gendry finally got it on in this week's episode. I sometimes found that question a little hard to address and a little tricky to answer." "I know from my personal experience, when we were filming the earlier seasons and people would ask about that and talk about that, I would feel slightly uncomfortable. Joe Dempsie, who plays Gendry in the show, previously spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about his scenes with Maisie, saying: "I think it's implied in the books that there might be a romantic element to the relationship, and in the books I think the characters are significantly closer in age. You’re welcome.But we gather there isn't a huge age gap and, as Arya is at least 18, it's all perfectly legal, so chill guys! In a very dark world, it’s just about the only bright spot, as Tyrion would happily tell you while drunkenly nuzzling several prostitutes.Īs an admirer of Game of Thrones’s more primal pleasures, I rewatched every moment of nudity and sex (including more incest than anyone asked for)* on the show so far-all 79 of them-and ranked them based on narrative value. You need something to break up all the beheading, impaling, and disemboweling. And sex is often a relief-for the characters and the viewers. The showrunners are not above giving us some Emilia Clarke fan service to keep our attention while guy-whose-name-we-can’t-remember rambles about a subplot we’ll quickly forget. (Though if the power-sex turns into sadism, à la Joffrey or Ramsay, you might be headed for a precipitous downfall.) Of course, sometimes bare boobs are just bare boobs.
