Game of Thrones Season 8: Maisie Williams Comments on That Scene with Gendry
Later, Maisie commented about how it was filming this scene with Gendry (Joe Dempsie). She said that when she first got the script it felt like the writers were playing a prank on her. However, they confirmed that this was real.
They were really nice to her about the scene and made her feel really comfortable during this scene on the Game of Thrones Season 8 shoot. It was a rushed scene during the shoot as well. Arya, you’re all grown up!
