hello I'm Emma Dary I'm Olivia Cook and we are with Harper Bazar UK and we're going to get to know each [Music] other I'm going to absolutely Grill you please Olivia Cook how would you describe i' would be such i' would be such a bad interview can you imagine Olivia c not a good not a natural presenter describe House of the Dragon Series 2 in three words um Dragon swinging contest how has your life changed since the first season was released not really I mean I mean it hasn't I guess I guess like industrywide you're told by agents and managers that this is really good for you you know but I mean I'm yet to say it um but I I think you know we've experienced this when when we're on posters and when the show's about to come out there's maybe an uptick in your how recognizable you are but yeah but when it's when it's over it's everything sort of goes back to normal yeah same yeah yeah what would you do if you were Queen for the day I mean there's loads of things I could do that would would be have like very serious consequences in a good way i' sort of make re all of Britain all of all of the Royal Land yes they actually own so much of it as it turns out yeah tons and tons and tons of it what can a queen really do now though there sort of just a you know you could open a building I could yeah I could maybe get a skeleton key cut you could you could get a skeleton key for all the shopping centers in in the UK yeah who from the cast is most like their character in real life that's a good question I feel like we're all actually quite different we're all all like very very different I guess Elliot who played luk is just a sweetheart playing a sweetart yeah the sweetest of Hearts yeah if you could play anyone else on House of the Dragon who would you play Damon yeah I'd love to play Damon and just like do some damage yeah I think I'd I think I would as Olivia would just really benefit from that sort of Rage yeah the rage yeah the the purging of all Pur that's that's inside of me I think I'd really get a kick out of that and also just made me feel a lot happier I I would I for very similar reasons I think I quite to play eggon because he's sort of the polar opposite he he gets to continually Sher responsibility as opposed to like take it deeply seriously fight for it labor over it uh tree tize about it yeah I would loveits yeah he sort of does how would you describe Allison's journey in in season 2 um it's journey of loss in in more ways than one um there's tell me more yeah there's a there's power struggles there's there's loss of life there's um a coming of age I would say as well and there's some Liberation in that I can't wait to watch it how would you describe renea's journey in season 2 well I think she starts the series in a quite paralyzing grief I think she actually has to sort of uh travel back sort of into her community um through the course of the show yeah she starts sort of deeply dislocated an island and she has to sort of make it back to the mainland in order to both like yeah fight for her throne but also heal post like you know devastating loss yeah what is the key to our real life friendship I'm sort of dominant you're kind of submissive perfect yeah that is that is that is true um what is your favorite onset moment of season 2 this will be new to me cuz I barely saw you um well as a handy way of avoiding the question uh for spoilers and and such uh I did actually have it such a beautiful day in like maybe the first month or something quite early on don't remember and um I was with Harry kette who plays Jace and I think I was very emotional possibly hormonal it was late I think it had been a lot of long days but um he was so beautifully lit and I was just thinking about like what a beautiful young man he's going into and I mean that sort of inside and out like he's such a good sweet soul and I think I felt something like pride and I was very moved he you're get now and it was just really amazing and I was the scene was sort of about thinking about like I am that's so embarrassing like Legacy and sort of passing something on the Next Generation and Renea is sort of I guess enfranchising him as her Heir which she's maybe not been that good at doing but mostly I just thought you you know you're a real you're a credit to us Harry he is and also that scene with you two in episode one is so so beautiful so beautiful and you're both just bleeding hearts it's it's so gorgeous and he oh my God like a revelation I know I know of hair the hair's gorgeous how do you decompress after a day of filming I do I don't know that I'm good at that there's also no time to decompress there is no time actually do you know what happens to me every single time especially if the weather's good on the way home in the car I am buzzing on after a good day and like so relieved that it's done and maybe if it's like late in the week especially and then the idea of like doing something you know what maybe I'll do something hey I might go out for a drink I maybe I'll text a friend we go out for a drink it's beautiful weather look The Dusk is so uh so so beautiful London what an amazing City we get to my house I'm completely drained and I go to bed yeah every day yeah I feel the same cuz it's so actually such a it's such a long drive it's a long drive and by the time you're home it is dark it's yeah it's s of the shakes you've got the shakes um yeah yeah whose wardrobe would you want to swap with on House of the Dragon I love your wardrobe I'm always really jealous of your wardrobe when you walk in and the leather is it called tanning like tanning leather T oh maybe yeah yeah yeah just your the leather work oh yes is extraordinary is amazing this season I'm really jealous of that I would love to just be all in leather yeah yeah why should team black win because it was it's my inheritance because because daddy said so um and uh and because uh Team black is a collection of sort of odds and ends we take all kinds um we're quite accommodating of Outsiders which I think is uh a nice quality but mostly because I'm odit true why should Team Green win well he shouldn't really um they shouldn't ultimately they shouldn't you know from an outside outside his perspective you know you are OD and you know Allison misheard uhhuh you know it was a miscommunication um she's very sorry for it um but also I'm was like oh just like can we be asked to go into war and to just like it's happened now it's happened just I think reir should just like back off and just have a bit of a yes what is it worth is it worth it just to sit on a sit on a on a chair think it after all this I think it is worth it okay you've still got energy all right yeah thank you I'm Emma DOI I'm Olivia Co and it's been very nice to finally speak to you yeah thank God I thought you would never
