In a scene had many viewers’ jaws on the floor, Arya cornered Gendry and got him to have sex her, losing her virginity.
One Tuesday, Williams took to Twitter to address all the people who found it uncomfortable to watch her first sex scene, joking that unfortunately for her, her whole family likely watched it, too.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Arya actress Maisie Williams talked about the big scene.
“At first, I thought it was a prank,” Williams said. “I was like, ‘Yo, good one.’ And [the showrunners were] like, ‘No, we haven’t done that this year.’ Oh f**k!”
She added, “I got to the read-through and I’m reading the scene and thought, ‘Oh, we’re actually going to do this. When do I shoot this? I need to go to the gym.’ A whole list of things.”
Given that Williams started on “Game of Thrones” when she was only 11 years old, with fans watching her grow up on-screen, the series showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were sensitive to how she wanted to approach the scene.
“David and Dan were like: ‘You can show as much or as little as you want,’” Williams said. “So I kept myself pretty private. I don’t think it’s important for Arya to flash. This beat isn’t really about that. And everybody else has already done it on the show, so… ”

The 22-year-old said that when it came time to actually shoot the scenes, things were a bit awkward, but everyone worked hard to make her feel as comfortable as possible.
“By the end we’re rushing to finish the scene and [director David Nutter] is going, ‘Okay, you’re going to come in and do this and do that and, great, take your top off’ — and then walked off,” she recalled. “And I’m like … ’Okay. Let’s do it.’”
Meanwhile, fans on Twitter were losing their minds over the scene, expressing their shock and sharing hilarious memes.
