Game Of Thrones star Maisie Williams has shared how cooking as a child really built up her confidence. The 26-year-old, who is from the Mendips, made the admission while urging fans to donate to a crowdfunder for a Bristol-based charity helping to support young people facing food poverty.
The actress said she had been inspired by the “amazing work” of The Mazi Project since attending a recent fundraiser with her friend. The charity helps empower disadvantaged young people “through food ”, providing weekly meal and recipe kits and fresh produce, among other things.
In an Instagram live video, later posted to her page, Williams spoke to the founder of the charity , Melanie Vaxevanakis, and one of its users. She said that as her career had taken off she had been introduced to new types of food , from industry dinners to meals in the homes of those from different socio-economic backgrounds.
