Game of Thrones actress Oona Chaplin says “Incest is the only interesting aspect of sex that remains”

Game of Thrones is a very bold show. Right from murder to sex, and even incest, the show has never held back. Exploring many a taboos, Game of Thrones seems to have little left to explore. One of the topics which Game of Thrones brought into the mainstream, is incest. Actress Oona Chaplin, who played Talisa Stark on Game of Thrones said that she thinks that incest is the only interesting aspect left, when it comes to sex.

Starring in the new FX show, Taboo, which is oozing a very GoT-esque vibe, Oona Chaplin seems to be doing well. The show premiered on the 11th of January, and it has a brother-sister incest plot line for those of us who enjoy that sort of thing. 

Oona plays Zilpha, half-sister to James Delaney, played by Tom Hardy, who has written the story, along with his father, Chips. The pair are seen getting intimate before realising that they’re related, in a very Luke-Leia like way. While talking to Vanity Fair about the show, Oona said that she sees incest as an almost necessity. She said :

“There’s a sexual libertarianism right now. Girls are walking around with their asses hanging out, and guys are just as much. Sex has become a very public-display type of thing, so there’s very few things that have remained taboo. Where does the taboo lie now? I think it’s in incest.”

Until we make it normal that brothers and sisters can fuck, I think that’ll still be the only interesting aspect of sex that remains. Maybe. I don’t know. I’ve never tried it — yet.”

We don’t know what to say about that, but you go, Oona! If Jaime-Cersei bothered you, we wouldn’t recommend you watch Taboo, but if not, you can check it out on FX.

In the meantime, Game of Thrones is set to return to TV with Season 7, in summer.We can’t wait! Talk to us in the comments, below!

The Red Wedding year 2020 was a difficult year for everyone across the globe. The world is still battling the consequences of the aftermath. The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the worst scares of the Long Night we faced last year. Health workers all over the world are keeping their life on the line trying to keep people safe. These COVID-warriors are working day and night to prevent the further spread of the virus. Game of Thrones stars like Kristofer Hivju beat the infection with the help of these warriors. The Duchess of Cambridge and Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke have come together to thank the nurses for their incredible services.

The Nursing Now campaign was launched three years ago. Emilia Clarke is an ambassador and the Duchess of Cambridge a patron of the campaign. It was launched to better connect nurses from different countries in the first-ever global social movement of its kind for nursing.

Clarke said on the campaign’s website that she was “looking forward to the Nursing Now Global Footprints event”.

“I can’t wait to hear from the many Nursing Now groups and Nightingale Challenge programmes,” she said.

In a video released by Kensington Palace, the duchess said, “Although we cannot be together at this closing of this Nursing Now campaign, I wanted to say a huge congratulations for the incredible work you have done over the last three years.”

“COVID-19 has highlight the vital role that nurses provide. We all rely on and it’s made all the more extraordinary when we consider the huge sacrifices and personal demands that have been placed on all of you by the pandemic.”

Let’s take a moment to thank these COVID warriors and send your well wishes in the comments below!

Innovative minds can be found in the most unexpected of places. The motivation to build something different often arises from an idea one loves dearly. Minecraft is one of the most popular games currently, where you can show off your creative ideas. One particular Minecraft server, Westeroscraft, is dedicated to building stuff related to the world of Game of Thrones. After months of hard work, they have finally managed to create their own Westeros inside the game. And it seriously looks amazing!

Below you’ll find a selection of recent tweets from Westeroscraft, providing some great images and explanations of what is being shown:

The official Westeroscraft Twitter account shared yet another screenshot of the work-in-progress Westeroscraft server. There, Minecraft fans who love A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones are recreating Westeros block by block, and the results are truly impressive as the images and videos linked at their official wiki show. We can’t imagine how many hours of work have gone into it!

Last week, One particular Game of Thrones fan created one of the most amazing dioramas of a medieval mini-alley in their bookshelf. It was like peering right into Westeros.
