Emma D’Arcywho plays a leading role in the popular series House of the Dragon, recently shared details about your battle against migraines.
During his presence on the red carpet before the premiere of the second season of the series, D’Arcy confessed: “If I had a show based on my life, it would be called ‘House of the Migraines’ (The House of Migraines), because I am a person who suffers from migraines.”
Migraines are more than just a headache. According to the Mayo Clinic, they cause “severe throbbing pain or a throbbing sensation, usually on one side of the head”, and are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Attacks can last from hours to days, significantly affecting daily life.
Regarding her personal struggle with this condition, the 31-year-old star made a humorous analogy during the event: “In the hit show watched by massive audiences globally, ‘House of the Migraines,’ my dragon Triptan would be an incredible and fearless fighter, and an endless ally”.
The term Triptan refers to a class of medications commonly used to treat migraines, which according to the Cleveland Clinic, “change blood circulation in the brain and how the brain processes pain signals.”
While Emma D’Arcy was facing this health problem, the filming of the second season of House of the Dragon It led the main cast to film dispersedly in various locations. This meant that D’Arcy had fewer on-screen interactions with his co-stars, Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen) and Olivia Cooke (Alicent Hightower).
In that sense, he admitted that filming without them was “a little lonely”, but also mentioned that “there are so many beautiful actors on the show, it’s something that constantly mutates.” This dynamic, according to him, will make the audience more involved, since there are many parts of the story that they have not yet had the opportunity to see.
The actress Olivia Cooke recently revealed she has “complicated feelings” about playing a grandmother on the show House of the Dragon, despite being only 30 years old. Cooke played Alicent Hightower in the HBO production, set almost 200 years before the events of its predecessor, game of Thrones.
Although the character was written to have started having children at a young age, the actors who played Alicent’s children, King Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) and Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), are 29 and 27 years old, respectively.
In a new interview with The Times, the British artist noted that she was aware of the lack of a realistic age gap between her and her on-screen children, as well as her relatively young fictional pair being a grandmother. “I had really complicated feelings about it.“, said.
And he went on to say that he found the role “hilarious” due to the small age difference with his co-stars. “Because Tom is a year younger and I’m like, ‘Son, come here! Come to the lap!’. It is a strange dynamic that I am very aware of,” she stated.
“But I also don’t want to criticize the program, It’s just something that Emma [D’Arcy, quien interpretó a la rival Rhaenyra Targaryen] and I talk a lot. It was weird. “It bothered me a little because the years between being a teenager and now a grandmother on screen were so short for me,” she added. Olivia Cooke.
The second season of House of the Dragon will begin airing from Sunday, June 16 on the platform Max.
