The more or less forced sex scenes of ‘Game of Thrones’ have been discussed, parodied and talked about over the years as one of the identity marks of the series. However, not everyone in the cast agreed with this profusion of libido throughout the footage. This is the case of Ciarán Hinds, better known as Mance Ryder, who has been dismayed about.

In an interview with The Independent, Hinds, who was on the show from seasons 3 to 5, said: “I was put off by the amount of sex that was shown, because it evaded you from political history. But that’s the business, I guess, from their perspective.” At the same time, actor finds proliferation of intimacy coordinators “strange”especially since his daughter, Aoife Hinds, had to work with one in ‘Normal people’.
Anything that we had to create together in sexual scenes was just talked about. It’s about how we want to tell the story together, so I don’t understand why intimacy coordinators are suddenly everywhere. As actors, you have to let your own spirits inform you of what you are doing. Aoife replied, ‘No, it was great because your own emotional context is put on hold and becomes uncoordinated, but not pure libido either.’
Hinds has been hired for the second season of ‘The Rings of Power’, on Amazon Prime Video. You will not be the only inhabitant of Westeros to move to Middle-earth: Robert Aramayo (the young Ned Stark) will also be present. And, fortunately or unfortunately, there will be no sex scenes that distract from the plot.
