Maisie Williams on Game Of Thrones, resenting Arya and what's next (British GQ)

After becoming one of the most recognisable faces on the planet, Game Of Thrones star Maisie Williams has committed to a radical next step: being herself.

“She wanted to push it all to the limit.” If Williams seemed cool on the surface, things weren’t so straightforward underneath: “It was a lot of pressure,” Williams recalls, “but honestly, I never needed to feel any type of way. The show started shooting in March 2021 after a two-month rehearsal process, and the coterie of kids dove headfirst into a recreated version of 1970s London. Williams insisted she didn’t go method (“I definitely didn’t like, do any drugs”), but she revelled in the opportunity to detach herself from her own life for a while. She also had the unique opportunity to learn from Jordan, who consulted on the show and was the only non-immediate member of cast and crew allowed on set. “It was the perfect opportunity for [Williams] to own a big character,” Boyle tells me. “I got the part.” Williams recalls those first conversations with the show’s casting directors: we want you to read for this role of Jordan, but you have to know there’s a lot of nudity, they said.
