Majandra Delfino Instagram – Had a lot of questions come in about the whole “Game of Thrones Cut” where David and I didn’t make it as extras in an episode. Let me tell you MY side of the story, as @davidwalton and I, in a classic married couple conundrum, remember the events very differently. We flew from LA to Peniscola Spain (that’s pronounced PENIS cola, don’t miss that fine opportunity to repeat aloud…a lot) which was a butt long trip in the air, coupled with the five hour drive from Madrid to aforementioned penis place. When we arrived at the hotel at around midnight, we were given our call time of 8am. Jet lag be damned, the real wake up call for me was the realization that we’d gone through all this trouble (and left our infant children) not to eat Jamón and enjoy Spain. No. We were there to work. And as “background artists” nonetheless. As a quasi successful actor, I’ve grown to realize there’s very little else more demoralizing than witnessing the difference in treatment when I’m on set vs my husband. Whatever, he may be prettier and much nicer, but I’ve worked longer! And have an Alma award G-d damn it! I’m right here! Standing right next to him!! (He’s also 6’4 and I’m 5’6” and I always have a pouty expression but THATS NOT THE POINT) I digress. So there I was, absorbing the reality that I was going to be waking up butt ass early, dress as a slave girl, and experience that same “oh…and the wife” dynamic. BUT AS EXTRAS. And for those of you who work on sets (and everybody CHILL) but a lot of times background artists bring out some of the more crazy people in the town. And to say I have PTSD about the whole thing wouldn’t suffice (@shug_life_sfv Feel free to back me up on all we’ve experienced together in this department). So in two words my feelings were: No. Grathias. But I love my husband. And I loved his innocence in thinking we’d ever make it on the show and not be cut out immediately. So I did the damn thing. And then after it started to get too repetitive, too cold and the local espresso places started opening, I lost the plot. The smooth smell of a local crema beckoned me. So I walked over to Benioff and said “let’s be real, I can sneak off, yes?” (Cont.) | Posted on 20/May/2019 21:11:48
