Game Of Thrones: Maisie Williams opens up about Arya Stark's and Gendry's intimate scene in episode 2

By now, the world has seen the second episode of 'Game Of Thrones'. In case you haven't yet, the following story gives out a major plot detail and we suggest that you come back to the story later. 

Perhaps the highlight of the episode was Arya Stark finally paying heed to her feelings for her longtime friend Gendry and the two making love - with Arya losing her virginity. 

Like many fans, Maisie Williams who plays Arya Stark in the show had initially not the seen this moment coming. Williams in an interview to Entertainment Weekly admitted that she had initially thought show's creators DB Weiss and David Benioff were playing a prank with her.

"At first, I thought it was a prank," I was like, ‘Yo, good one.’ And (the showrunners were) like, ‘No, we haven’t done that this year.’"

Since it was Williams' first intimate scene as her character, Benioff and Weiss let her decide how the scene should go. 

"David and Dan were like: ‘You can show as much or as little as you want. So I kept myself pretty private," she said. "I don’t think it’s important for Arya to flash. This beat isn’t really about that. And everybody else has already done it on the show, so..."

But Williams admits that filming the scene made her uncomfortable. "In the beginning, everyone was really respectful. No one wants to make you feel uncomfortable which kind of makes you feel more uncomfortable, because no one wants to look at anything that they shouldn’t look at which in turn makes you feel like you look awful. You want people to act more normal."
