Emma D’Arcy loves the Game of Thrones intro

Deadline recently interviewed House of the Dragon stars including Emma D’Arcy, who plays Rhaenyra. They talked about the intro and said, “We were so thrilled because we heard initially how they were sort of holding their cards close to their chests about what the theme would be. I sort of felt like, ‘come on, you cowards, use the music!’ Like, put your money where your mouth is. It’s embarrassing, but when I used to watch Game of Thrones when it was on TV, I got chills every time. I would never skip the titles, you know? They were so good. So good.”

Emma D’Arcy admits being camera shy

D’Arcy went on to spill more secrets about themself, “It’s like finding yourself in someone else’s life. It’s quite wild having never done that before, and certainly not on that scale, obviously, with one of the biggest shows in the world. And I am quite camera shy, which is obviously a disaster.”
