‘Game of Thrones’ Star Refuses to Promote Her Sarah Ferguson Show After Epstein Bombshell

Natalie Dormer won’t do press for “The Lady” and has donated her salary for the project to child-protection groups.

Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell) portrayed Prince Andrew's ex-wife (Sarah "Fergie" Ferguson) in an upcoming four-part series called The Lady.

But Natalie is disavowing the series since it recently became known that Fergie, the Duchess of York, wrote to Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 to apologize to him for denouncing him earlier.

Hollywood star Natalie Dormer will not promote The Lady after leaked emails showed Sarah Ferguson praising Jeffrey Epstein weeks after vowing never to see him again. The Duchess of York was plunged into crisis this week over a 2011 email in which she appeared to “humbly” apologize to the late, disgraced pedophile, for publicly denouncing him. Following Epstein’s release from jail on sex offences, Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, otherwise known as Fergie, called Epstein a “steadfast, generous and supreme friend.”

That wording goes a bit beyond token politeness.

In light of the revelation, Dormer told Variety she will no longer do PR for the ITV/Britbox show. The Game of Thrones actress has also donated her full salary to child-abuse charities. “When I agreed to take the role in ‘The Lady,’ I knew portraying the script’s Sarah Ferguson would require nuance,” said Dormer, 43, who gained international recognition for playing Margaery Tyrell on the hit HBO fantasy drama series.

Cheers to Natalie Dormer for her stand. She places morality ahead of riches and career.

Kit Harington and Peter Dinklage Reunite for the First Time Since ‘Game of Thrones’ Ended to Discuss Nude Scenes, Sobriety and Life After We

Kit Harington and Peter Dinklage reunite for the first time since 'Game of Thrones' concluded on HBO seven years ago.

A recent conversation between Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Kit Harrington (Jon Snow).

It's rather long, but here's a bit of it.

Peter Dinklage: There’s nothing worse than an actor complaining, but Spain was very hot, and I often would raise my hand going, “If Tyrion’s so smart, why is he wearing these clothing in this 100 degree weather?” Kit Harington: Do you remember we had those cold vests? PD: Yeah, the tubes that ran through. KH: And an ice thing you’d plug in. PD: I was like, “No, thank you,” for a week. I was like, “I’m going to suffer.” And then at the end I was like, “No way,” because everybody else was nodding off because they felt so comfortable. Rory [McCann, who played The Hound] especially. Jesus Christ. He was under a lot of stuff. What you said about that arc is really fascinating. Starting from A, going to Z, and they’re a completely different character. To have [Jaime Lannister] push a little kid out the window and then later on you love him — it’s just fascinating to me. That’s the epitome of our show. He tries to kill a kid, and he’s a hero later. That’s how complicated narrative can be.

Game of Thrones universe legends join Peter Dinklage in Alien: Earth season 2

Production is now under way in London.

It's not exactly Maekar Targaryen meets Tyrion Lannister and Bronn. But the actors who portrayed those characters will be together in Season 2 of Alien: Earth.

The cast of FX’s Alien: Earth season 2 has expanded, with Sam Spruell and Jerome Flynn among the new additions joining the fray. The show, which has begun production on season 2 in London, serves as a prequel to Alien, with the first season set in the year 2120 – two years before the events of the original film. Flynn, who’s best known for playing Bronn in Game of Thrones, and Spruell, who stars as Prince Maekar Targaryen in prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, will join the cast alongside Tracey Ullman (Tracey Ullman’s Show). Details of the new trio's roles are yet to be confirmed. Flynn and Spruell will also star alongside Game of Thrones alum Peter Dinklage, who was previously announced to be joining the cast of season 2, with the new season functioning as a Westeros reunion of sorts.

‘Fight back and don’t let them win’: actor Pedro Pascal decries Trump’s attacks on artists

Comments at Cannes come after US president’s social media posts against Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift

Pedro Pascal slammed Donald Trump while at the Cannes Film Festival.

Pedro was born during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in Chile. His family fled and eventually settled in the United States.

Pedro Pascal has sharply criticised Donald Trump’s attacks against artists, as the director of a conspiracy theory satire starring the actor said he feared the political messages of films could be weaponised by US border guards. “Fuck the people that try to make you scared,” the Game of Thrones and The Last of Us actor said at a press conference at the Cannes film festival, promoting Ari Aster’s new film Eddington. “And fight back. And don’t let them win.” He urged creatives to “keep telling the stories, keep expressing yourself and keep fighting for it”. The comments came shortly after the US president used his Truth Social platform to call singer Bruce Springsteen a “pushy, obnoxious JERK” for criticising his leadership, and claim that Taylor Swift’s popularity had decreased since he announced his “hatred” for her.
