Majandra Delfino Instagram – (Continued from last post) Benioff reminded me that yes, I could walk off but then continuity would be compromised for me and David. Which means they wouldn’t be able to use our stuff. So I went back, stood next to my husband and kept doing our “thing.” And here’s where things took a turn. They changed the set-up and started with a close up on us. And I don’t know what happened to David but suddenly his energy went from professional actor to that of a kid’s party mime. Mind you we had no lines, and sometimes without words it’s challenging to convey things but oh my god he started to really put his back into it. He was acting SO into the damn cous cous I felt like we were on a multicam with Tony Danza and not an award winning show that kills and rapes at the drop of a hat (and dressed as slaves ourselves no less!) And that was it for me. I came all this way, I wasn’t getting to enjoy the espressos, and now my husband was acting hacky. So I fell on the sword. That’s right. I saved him from himself so he could say we got cut because I was indignant and hangry and not that he was doing Monty Python when the scene called for Dying of Leprocy. That’s the convenient truth I tell myself for wasting his trip. But I have to tell you, when the director told me “yeah, you’re good, you can go” and I was wrapped for the day, THAT’S when the memorable times started to roll. Food, wrap parties, dinners with the group, THAT’S where I lived. I came for the paella and I stayed for the sweet family dynamic between the cast and crew. Because that’s where you can be hacky AF and nobody cuts you. (Disclaimer: When I asked the director if I was done, I swear there was a twinkle of respect in his eye. Regardless, David stayed behind and did his job as a background artist to the very end of his set up. He still believes it wasn’t my fault we got cut and defends his big arm movements over the cous cous, so it seems everyone came out unscathed, except David Benioff. As a married couple I would say that is a win. (Also, David wasn’t hacky. I was just hangry. Really really f-ing hangry)). | Posted on 20/May/2019 21:34:18
