Matt Smith Questioned His Many House Of The Dragon Sex Scenes
Actor Matt Smith has questioned his many sex scenes in the Game of Thrones spinoff television series, House of the Dragon. The highly anticipated fantasy-drama show is based upon author George R.R. Martin's fantasy novel, Fire & Blood, which recounts the history of House Targaryen. Set approximately 200 years before the events ofGame of Thrones, House of the Dragon will center on the silver-haired dragon-riding Targaryen family and will chronicle the events leading up to the familial civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons, a conflict that served as the beginning of the end of their reign.
Along with a high level of graphic violence, Game of Thrones was known for its fair share of nudity and gratuitous sex scenes. Emilia Clarke, who played Queen Daenerys Targaryen on the former show, has said that she found her nude scenes uncomfortable but also defended their use within the context of Game of Thrones' narrative. Although the amount of sex scenes were reduced as the series went on and found its audiences, the show still maintained a higher than average level of nudity. Now, House of the Dragon appears to following Game of Thrones' mold in regard with its use of sex.
