Carice van Houten reveals About Her Nude Scenes In ‘Game Of Thrones’

Carice van Houten, who played the red priestess called Melisandre, has added her thoughts regarding the nudity in Game of Thrones.

Season 8 was the final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones. HBO is currently in production on a prequel series set in the same universe as Game of Thrones. However, no release date has yet been announced for this new series.

Prior to starring in Game of Thrones, von Houten had starred in the Paul Verhoeven movie, Black Book. In that role, nudity was required and was also a talking point. So, heading into Game of Thrones, it was not something new or unexpected for the actor.

Carice van Houten, as Melisandre, showed full frontal nudity at points in Game of Thrones. As the actor recently explained to Deadline, being Dutch helped her deal with the excessive nudity. However, it still made her uncomfortable at times.

Carice also pointed out that Melisandre’s nude scenes were filmed before she had given birth to her first child. Had these scenes occurred after her pregnancy, she might have been more hesitant to strip down in front of the cameras.

Carice also pointed out that as she has grown older and become more confident in her position, she might not be as likely to agree outright to nudity in front of the camera.

As Game of Thrones progressed and the audience base grew, the amount of nudity dropped. Viewers were hooked by this point and continued to watch for a variety of other reasons. Carice believes that later seasons proved that nudity was no longer the only drawcard for the series.
