Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon to have a lot of sex scenes confirms actor Matt Smith

Game of Thrones, which prides itself on being one of the most watched television series in the world, had many things that kept audiences hooked to their screens. The most important of them is the high amount of sex scenes and plenty of what we would love to call ‘sexposition’. And now that a prequel to the blockbuster series - House of the Dragon - is set to hit television screens soon, everybody is curious to know the amount of sexual content each episode is going to have.

Actor Matt Smith, who plays a pivotal role in House of the Dragon has said that the show is going to have a lot of sex scenes. He described the show as ‘only t**s and dragons’.


Smith plays Daemon Targaryen, brother of King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) and a major contender for the Iron Throne once his older brother shuffles off his mortal coil to kick off the main plot. He has questioned whether they really needed to keep adding more in.

Speaking to a publication, Smith joked that his character had 'slightly too much' sex on the show but insisted that it was important to remain true to the books rather than try to clean things up for modern sensibilities.

"You do find yourself asking, 'Do we need another sex scene?'. And they’re like, 'Yeah, we do'. I guess you have to ask yourself: 'What are you doing? Are you representing the books, or are you diluting the books to represent the time (we're living in]?" he said.

"And I actually think it’s your job to represent the books truthfully and honestly, as they were written, he added.

House of the Dragon tells the story of House Targaryen 200 years before the epic events of the hit HBO fantasy show, focusing on the Targaryen civil war that became known as the 'Dance of the Dragons'.

House of the Dragon is slated to premiere on 21 August on HBO Max.

Why is Gen-Z laughing at ‘Little Britain’? A closer look at the show’s most offensive jokes

More than two decades after Little Britain first aired, a new audience is discovering the controversial sketch show but not on BBC or Netflix. Instead, Gen-Z has resurrected it on TikTok, where short clips featuring outrageous characters and catchphrases have racked up millions of views. The twist? Many of these viral clips are the very ones that got the show pulled from streaming platforms in 2020.

Created by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain was a defining comedy of the 2000s. It won awards, ran across multiple seasons, and even spawned a spin-off, Come Fly With Me. But as societal standards around race, sexuality, and disability evolved, the show came under fire for jokes that many now see as not just outdated but outright offensive.

Hayden Christensen confirms return as Anakin Skywalker in 'Ahsoka' season 2

After much speculation, Hayden Christensen has confirmed he’s returning as Anakin Skywalker in the second season of Ahsoka. The actor made the announcement during the Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo, sharing his enthusiasm about revisiting a version of Anakin that fans haven’t fully explored in live-action, the Clone Wars-era Jedi, before his fall to the dark side.

Christensen said that bringing this version of Anakin to life has long been something he and Star Wars creator George Lucas had hoped to explore on screen. The new season, which starts filming next week, will give fans a deeper look at that chapter of the character's life, though details about his exact role remain under wraps.

'Kesari Chapter 2' opens to mixed reviews as Akshay Kumar takes on colonial injustice in court

Released on April 18, Kesari Chapter 2 steps into theatres with a heavy subject on its shoulders: the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the courtroom fight that followed. Headlined by Akshay Kumar, alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday, the film has drawn mixed reactions from viewers, with some calling it powerful and others labelling it sluggish.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and backed by Dharma Productions, the film moves away from the battlefield narrative of its 2019 predecessor. Instead, it follows the legal efforts of C. Sankaran Nair, played by Akshay Kumar, who challenged the British Empire after the 1919 tragedy. R. Madhavan plays opposing counsel Neville McKinley, while Ananya Panday surprises many with a restrained, serious performance as Dilreet Gill.
