I’ve been trying to convince family and friends to watch Game of Thrones so that I can have someone to converse with offline about the awesomeness of the series. Sadly a lot of people are put off by the nudity and sexy romps. This is pretty much the same problem I had trying to convert people to Spartacus.
People often refer to Game of Thrones as that show with the soft p*rn and having discovered that six of the actresses have actually been p*rn stars, it’s going to be even harder for me to defend the show on that front.
Actress Sibel Kekilli who plays Tyrion Lannister’s lover Shae worked in the adult entertainment industry ten years ago.
Two actresses who played Petyr Baelish’s prostitutes Maisee Dee who played Daisy, and Sahara Knite who played Armeca are also in the biz.
Aeryn Walker, who plays one of crazy Craster’s wives in Season Four, is an adult entertainment star with a penchant for cosplay.
Other adult entertainment actresses are the two new cast members Jessica Jensen and Samantha Bentley whose roles have not been specified yet.
I hear the casting crew go to great lengths to find the right fit for each role and casting adult entertainment stars that are already comfortable with nudity seems to make sense to me. I’m not a big fan of gratuitous sex and nudity scenes but I manage to blank it all out and focus on the dialogue if there is any. If not, I pick fluff from my jumper or something. Now if I can only convince my prudish family and friends to overlook all of this and get to picking fluff too.
