There’s no question that one of the most beloved Game of Thrones characters is Arya Stark. Played brilliantly by Maisie Williams, the young Stark sibling pushed her way through adversity to become one of the greatest warriors in Westeros. Well, Williams' time in the GOT cast came to a close in 2019, and now she’s moved on to new iconic roles, including her latest part in Apple TV+’s The New Look. So, as this historical drama premieres on the 2024 TV schedule, the actress's co-star Ben Mendelsohn took a moment to geek out about Williams' iconic fantasy role while explaining how much he loved working with her.
Apple TV+’s The New Look follows the rise of Christian Dior right after World War II, and in it, Mendelsohn plays the legendary designer while Maisie Williams plays his sister Catherine Dior. The Bloodline star told me during an interview that he adored working with the Game of Thrones alum, and that partially stemmed from his love for the HBO megahit.

00:00 I just, I get all sort of silly around Maisie because I became a got freak.
00:06 I rejected got again and again and then I became a cover to cover freak and the
00:10 Hound and her were my central kind of like, "Ehh!" So you know and Maisie
00:17 wasn't even consideration for this role. She got this role completely on her own
00:21 by Adam noticed her, he hadn't seen got and she came right through from an
00:25 outfield of some other thing just came right in and and by the way she carried
00:31 herself and her seriousness and her you know she's such a cool human and so easy
00:37 to connect with - that's someone that's got a lot of space to connect with you
00:42 know. She makes it easy you know she makes it very easy to feel solid. We
00:47 trusted each other and we enjoyed each other and I don't think we weren't
00:52 scared of each other either you know.
