House of the Dragon’s Olivia Cooke ‘Blacked Out’ Meeting Tom Cruise: ‘I Bowed Like a Servant’


‘House of the Dragon’ star Olivia Cooke said she ‘blacked out’ and ‘bowed like a servant’ meeting Tom Cruise

House of the Dragon star Olivia Cooke, who plays Queen Alicent Hightower in the hit HBO fantasy drama, recalled the time she “blacked out” meeting Cruise, 61, on the set of her film, Ready Player One. One day, Cooke, 30, said she heard “whispers around the cast” that Cruise — who Spielberg directed in Minority Report and War of the Worlds — was to visit the set. As the fight for the Iron Throne between Alicent’s son, King Aegon II (played by Tom Glynn-Carney), and her former BFF, Rhanerya Targaryen ( Emma D’Arcy) heats up, Cooke teased that viewers can expect “bloodshed, legacy, power, sexuality, and dragons, obviously” this season.
