Bristolian Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams has confessed that she 'resented' her character in the hit Emmy award-winning series as she started to go through puberty. The actress, who was born in Bristol, reflected on becoming an adult while filming the long-running fantasy epic during an interview with GQ style.
Maisie, who is now 24, was cast as Arya Stark just months after she celebrated her 12th birthday in 2009. She then spent a decade working on the HBO show until its final season, which aired in 2019.
Remembering the day she was given a bra in the costume trailer, Maisie said: "I think that when I started becoming a woman, I resented Arya because I couldn’t express who I was becoming. And then I also resented my body, because it wasn’t aligned with the piece of me that the world celebrated.”
