Natalie Dormer in "Game of Thrones" turned out to be dangerously clumsy; the "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" actor confessed she tripped in at least two occasions playing Margaery Tyrell in the show. The HBO series is expected to run season 5 this spring or fall.
Following on the heels of a revolution in the latest "Hunger Games" movie, it's back to royal clothes and treachery for Natalie Dormer in "Game of Thrones." Last season saw her character Margaery Tyrell witnessing her own husband (and king's) death by poisoning (spoiler alert). The people responsible for the treachery apparently had Margaery's best interests for the kingdom in mind.
Dormer admits she loves the long, flowing robes unique to her character, but it was a constant struggle trying to manage with the material.
"Oh, my God, I'm so clumsy. I've tripped down and up stairs. There's a scene where Sansa and I, two seasons ago, are walking down cliffs. I fell down those cliffs. "
Dormer's confession conjures funny images of Margaery tumbling down cliffs, a stark contrast to the character's calm yet conniving demeanor (cinemablend.com).
She also confessed another clumsy incident in the Yahoo interview, which involved the tension-filled (and scintillating) crossbow scene with Geoffrey.
"When I was walking up to Joffrey's bedroom for the crossbow scene, I definitely fell up those stairs nearly into camera. Long skirts are annoying; they get in the way."
"Game of Thrones" season 5 has been teased with plenty of details, notably the introduction of Prince Oberyn'sSand children.
Natalie Dormer in "Game of Thrones" is a contrast to her badass character in "Hunger Games." The actor also commented on her hair in "Mockingjay Part 1," said the do had to be done.
"It wasn't me; it had to be done to the movie's specs. So I talked to Francis Lawrence, the director, a lot about it and also the head of hair-sorry, head of hair always sounds funny, 'the chief of hair.' I had a kind of reconciled myself to it by the time it I sat in the trailer and they got the razor out."
