That included some foot talk. One of the most explicit moments on House of the Dragon so far came in season 1, episode 8 during a private meeting between Queen Alicent Olivia Cooke and Larys.
In exchange for vital information, Cooke allows her keeper of secrets to masturbate to her bare feet in front of her, though it visibly repulses her to do so. The actor mentioned how "people were already quite creeped out by me" before that sequence aired on House of the Dragon , but "everyone's been weirdly very nice about it" to his face. Despite the laughs, Needham offered thoughtful responses while dissecting the intent behind this sequence. I think it's weirder than that," he mused.
It's that he can make her do it," he noted. It's about making her feel as much shame as she does for that part of her body as he does for his. I think he likes that," the actor continued. He can't do that with her.
He can , though, associate that part of her body with a trauma so that long after he's gone, she's got this sick feeling about it that's connected to that. That's the thing about assault like that: it makes the victim's body the scene of the crime, and I think that's what he likes to do.
So I don't see it like he loves feet. It's the fact that she's not into it and he can make her do it. Needham kept with his profound insights as the panel continued.
