‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Clip Debuts on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ During Maisie Williams Interview (Video)

The teenage actress says she used to get her grandmother drunk to cope with the show’s nudity, and spared to the Queen of England the gory details of the plot during a royal set visit

“Game of Thrones” star Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark on the hit series, gave fans a sneak peek at Season 5 on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday.

In the clip, Arya has crossed the Narrow Sea and arrived at the House of Black and White, home to the Faceless Men of Braavos. She previously dealt with a member of the secretive organization in season two.

Williams also revealed how nervous she was when Queen Elizabeth made a visit to the set one day. When her Majesty asked Williams about her character on the show, Williams decided to skip the gory details.

“I kind of gave her the toned-down version of my character: Arya from season one rather than the cold-blooded killer that she is now,” Williams said.

The actress went on to say that when “Game of Thrones” first started, she watched the show with her mother, aunt, and grandmother. To spare her grandmother from the more gruesome scenes, however, Williams’ mother developed a careful strategy.

“Every time there was like a pair of boobs on screen, mum would just like fill up [grandma’s] drink with more gin,” Williams said.
