Anyway, here they both are, dressed impractically for their day at the beach.įinally, we have the most exciting picture of the lot. This seems unlikely, because you try sighing “Oh Alicent” in the throes of pleasure.
Meanwhile, Cooke plays Alicent Hightower, “the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms”. This means – and this is pure speculation on my part, but I bet I’m right – that he will be executed in the penultimate episode of the first season. According to the press notes, he thinks that the biggest threat to House Targaryen is Daemon Targaryen. As you can see from his brooch, he is the Hand of the King. Ifans’ character is named Otto Hightower. This automatically makes him about 50% less creepy than this image might first suggest. Also, good news for anyone who might be dreading the sexual politics of House of the Dragon, because Ifans is actually playing Olivia Cooke’s father and not her husband. This is a slightly more interesting photo, because neither of the characters are wearing wigs that look like fire hazards in the making.
