House Of The Dragon star Olivia Cooke has revealed that she hated the viral meme that came out of season one’s press tour.
Cooke and her co-star Emma D’Arcy have just begun promoting the second season of the Game Of Thrones spin-off, and the actors have reflected on an interview moment that went viral on the internet.
Back in 2022, the pair sat down with Max in a ‘Get To Know Me’ interview, where they asked each other questions. During the conversation, Cooke asked D’Arcy: “What’s your drink of choice?” to which they replied: “Negroni Sbagliato with prosecco in it.”
Cooke replied: “Oh, stunning!” before sharing that she is fond of a gin martini with a twist.
The exchange took the internet by storm, with people learning about the drink for the first time, posting recipe videos and ordering it in bars.
The other element which amused viewers for months was Cooke’s response of “Stunning!”, delivered in her Greater Manchester accent.
However, Cooke wasn’t overly pleased with the outcome of the video.
As reported in Entertainment Weekly, she said: “It’s just sad how you work for eight months and it fucking gets reduced to a fucking TikTok, and that makes me sad.”
D’Arcy added: “I don’t have anything illuminating to say on it because it’s very hard to know how to react when you become a meme.”
“We were just trying to make each other laugh,” Cooke continued. “There’s no rhyme or reason to it. I did hate it for a very long time.”
She explained: “I was in the pub. A woman opened the door for me and she said with a thick Spanish accent, ‘Stunnin’!’ I was just like, ‘Oh my God. Over a decade’s worth of work reduced to a single word in my lexicon.”
Meanwhile, an official trailer has just been released for season two of House Of The Dragon, which is set to air on June 16.
