- Natalia Tena gave a very frank interview to the Independent this week at Collectormania. When asked the inevitable nudity question, Tena had this to say about Osha’s natural state in her one-on-one scene with Alfie Allen:
I was a bit upset about the fact that they showed my minge without hair because I think my character would have a massive bush. I would have muff, like a muff coming down the thighs.
Tena confirms that she has read the entire ASOIAF series, and shares many fans fears about the fate of the books:
I’m really terrified that he’s not going to write the last one for ages. I’m just terrified. I can’t wait that long. I need it now in my life. But now I think the pressure might be on.
- Parks and Recreation creator Mike Schur started a trend this week by suggesting that fans come up with Game of Thrones/Parks & Rec crossovers on Twitter. The Huffington Post has created a slideshow of some of the funniest suggestions made.
- In an interview with HBO.com, George R. R. Martin discussed his propensity for smacking down his characters, especially right after a triumph and acknowledged the lurking specter of the television show catching up with the book series.
I am aware of the TV series moving along behind me like a giant locomotive, and I know I need to lay the track more quickly, perhaps, because the locomotive is soon going to be bearing down on me. The last thing I want is for the TV series to catch up with me. I’ve got a considerable headstart, but production is moving faster than I can write. I’m hoping that we’ll finish the story at about the same time… we’ll see.

Funny interview and her band is pretty awesome too!
In the first season I barely recognized her as Tonks, she kinda made the role stand out.
Reviewing the second season she really came onto her own.
Still think it is weird that she kept her name but they renamed Asha, I am used to it now.
There are even hints from Martin himself that he might invest more in her character.

I’m equally impressed that Natalia Tena has read the whole series. I recall a couple interviews with the other actors where they mentioned they haven’t read the books. That’s fine, actors are busy and fantasy novels might not be there thing. But kudos for Natalia having a strong background with the books.

There are a few actors who haven’t read at all, and it seems most of them have read through what they have already filmed, but most of those cite that they really don’t want to know more than the character or it may screw up their acting.

The thing that gets me about actors not wanting to screw up their acting by reading the books and getting information ahead of time, don’t they get the scripts ahead of time? I mean obviously not as far ahead as the books, but if they are filming episode 3 and they get the script for episode 6 where something significantly changes for them.. how is that any different than reading the books?
It’s good to see GRRM acknowledge the train behind him. I hope it leads to him saying “no” to more projects that he should say “no” to and focusing on ASOIAF.

All this brouhaha has done is make more people aware of Game of Thrones. The sales of the DVDs and Blurays have spiked on Amazon (the fact that current versions have become somewhat collectible may have some effect). Game of Thrones is beating True Blood on Google Trends despite the fact that True Blood just had its season premiere. Bush’s head may have added another tenth of a point to GoT’s ratings next season.

Hahaha, Natalia surely doesn’t do your average Hollywood-star interview! Let’s see if her critical comment will cause a big red bush to appear on our screens next season…
And good to read that GRRM is starting to feel a bit of pressure. Yes, we all want to have him finish the story at the ‘right’ pace, but rather than seeing the show as added pressure, I think it could mostly be a great motivation for him to keep on filling those pages.
Btw, Natalia used the words ‘bush’ and ‘minge’ in the same sentence – I hope HBO will not feel obliged to come with public appologies for that…

In Martin’s pseudo-historical Westeros it would be ‘unrealistic’ for any woman (or man) to shave her (or his) pubic hair. The only exception from this norm would be prostitutes getting rid of lice.
And, you know, that’s the way he writes it: See Cersei, Brienne, Asha and so forth…
The reason why all the women in Game of Thrones run around shaved or with a landing strip (seriously?) are the sensibilities of what HBO thinks is its North American fantasy show audience. And frankly, it’s been a poor choice by the producers to pander their viewers in such a blatant and ridiculous way. Especially, because other HBO shows (like Boardwalk Empire and glorious Deadwood) frequently made a point by not giving in to anachronistic mainstream sensibilities.
Even Entourage (of all shows!) took the opportunity to provoke its US viewers when Sasha Grey made an appearance last year (and ridiculed her ‘critics’ on twitter afterwards).
Natalia Tena is not only, by all accounts, an awesome person, she is absolutely right in her criticism, too.

Not sure who/where to ‘officially’ suggest this, but if the show does catch up to the books perhaps as they take a year off they could give us a season or two and give us ‘Robert’s Rebellion’. We should be far enough into the story (i.e. through ADWD) that all the back story that has been skipped (presumably on purpose) shouldn’t cause any problems.
TaxmanQuote Reply
The whole male-female nudity issue is very prominent on these threads and Natalia Tena addresses it too. I will risk some controversial insight, just something that crosses my mind as a member of the male species. Much as I agree that it should be roughly 50-50 not 99-1(in other words 99% female nudity and maybe 1% male) there is this small problem. Men cannot hide it if they are sexually aroused. So… much as it is just as difficult and embarrassing for female actors to undress, certainly to have sex scenes, can you imagine the degree of embarrassment it would be for a male actor if he gets aroused? In a sex scene THAT is actually SUPPOSED to show on screen and it is STILL sooooo embarrassing! But what if it’s not even a sex scene, just nudity… Can you imagine how a male actor would feel if his pole (or call it what you like) did a standing ovation? Not trying to make an excuse for the lack of male nudity but just consider… Also: Why the hell is it called “Junk”?!! How on earth did our genitals, which are “only” there so we can have sex and make babies came to be called “Junk”?! Can someone enlighten me? It’s all your fault Natalia, for being so cool about the whole thing!

Abyss,
Thanks for including that Thronecast interview, hadn’t seen it yet. With Osha’s wild hair, I’ve always been centered on Natalia’s eyes on the show. So I could not stop looking at them in this interview – she has the most expressive eyes!
They better get awarded for casting, because GoT has the best cast of any show I’ve seen (or maybe it’s just because I’ve read the books and loved these characters before watching the show, which is not the case in 99.9% of the other shows/movies I see, and I’m able to recognize how well the cast of GoT nails their characters). Tena is just one part of that astounding cast, but she is just as excellent as the rest of them!

Well, I meant to write “shaved” there not “unshaved…
As for the unrealistic/realistic thing, I agree with yo two, that it would have been better (or more realistic) without the shaving, but it is no big deal for me.
Yes, Game of Thrones has a medieval setting, or a pseudo medieval setting, because of the fantasy element and I don’t mean that deprecative in any way.
But it’s not our medieval world for shure. – So who is to say, that shaving your pubic hair is not more common in the world of Game of Thrones?
As I said, I don’t disagree with you, but I think, there is more then enough room for little “unrealistic” things like that.

Totally nonsensical argument.
Dragons, wights and shapeshifters are part of the plot, they are there for internal reasons.
Thus, they appear in the novels and the series both.
The shaved women are pandering to the television audience, they are there for external reasons – because the producers don’t want to go against their (american? teenage? whatever!) viewers’ sensibilities.
And, of course, the women are shaved only in the series not in the novels.
But sure, let’s dish out the “it’s fantasy – anything’s equally valid and believable” argument and ignore the obvious reasons behind the aesthetic choice/change. Seven Hells…
LVQuote Reply
How about we actually look to Medieval history instead of making assumptions about how people used to behave?
Do you really think pubic shaving was invented in the 90s? Did people not understand how to shave their pubes back then? Were they too primitive?
The fact of the matter is this: It was commonplace for Medieval men to marry what we would consider to be children, i.e. 12, 13, 14 year old girls. So, clearly, this led to the fetishization of such attributes, i.e. “Hey honey, can you make your pussy look like it did on our wedding night?”
With that being said, it does defy belief that someone as unkempt as Osha would care enough about appearances to shave her pubes, but I’m actually shocked that people think it didn’t happen back then, as if people were so different than they are now. The only difference between modern people and medieval people was in culture, and beliefs. They had the same brain capacity as we do, but they hadn’t had so many inventions and discoveries passed down to them. We think we’re smart because we live off the discoveries of our ancestors. But we just enjoy the fruits of their labor.
So, to sum up, of course the ancients shaved their pubes. They shaved their body hair, and some even shaved their heads. Imagine that.

Are you kidding me?
But nice try at inventing some “Medieval history” in order to rationalise what is nothing but an aesthetic choice of the producers to satisfy modern mainstream expectations.
So… “How about we actually look to Medieval history instead of making assumptions about how people used to behave?”
First of all, your ‘medieval’ marriages between very young people were confined to the aristocracy and seldomly, if ever, consummated before both patners were well past puberty. There are very few counterexamples to this rule (google them, if you like). To make up some cultural trend coming from this is, frankly, laughable.
Secondly, there have, indeed, been ancient cultures where pubic shaving was practiced. But Europe was not one of them. The only known exception to this rule were the muslim parts of south-western Europe and prostitutes who had to protect themselves from lice – and they used “merkins” as early as the 15th century (!), in order to appear ‘normal’. How’s that for a counter to your ‘theory’. ;) Since Martin’s Westeros (though not all of his fantasy world) is based upon Europe during the late middle ages, as far as social customs (for example) are concerned, it is reasonable that his female characters from that continent (Dorne may be an exception because of its climate) don’t wear landing strips or brasilians; and in the novels, as we know, they don’t.
The producers changed this in the television series bnecause they didn’t want to go against contemporary expectations. Which is doubly annoying because HBO has done just that several times in other shows (for which I gave three examples).
LVQuote Reply
I actually hated the D&D (Dany and Dragons) storyline in this season.
It seems as if the producers thought the there was not enough “action” in the story as it was presented in the books. But I ask – why should there be? A Song of Ice and Fire is not a thriller, it’s a unique political fantasy novel, and so there are large patches of it that don’t have violence.
As a matter of fact, Quarth is presented as a very subtle, extremly non violent place in the books. The only thing resembling violence in that city state is the order of assasins, but again, they are not commonly hired.
the impression from the books is that Quarth is a society basking in it’s own indulgent culture. That, I believe, is the reason they don’t try to force the dragons away from Dany. they think of her as an exotic sight, but they are not threatened in any serious way so they don’t need three extremly deadly beasts in their city.
So, the show could really have presented us the complicated nature of Quarth in a series of scenes where Dany has to deal with diffrent situations and garner expirience towards her eventual queenship. You know, actual political expirience of learning how to present hereself and how to know right from wrong.
More then anything else though, I hated having to suspend my disbelief so much in Quarth. It seemed as though there was not a single armed guard in the city. A couple of nutbags menaged to assasinate all of the city leaders? (the council of thirteen?) sure, I guess nobody cares enough about the fate of the city to chase the killers away. there are no ministers, no govrenment, no armed guard (never even speak of an army!).
And in the finale, again, Dany just decides in her own merit to execute the new king of Quart…. and nobody gives even the slightest objection. And then, Dany takes her tiny force of barbarians and loots the city. Yeah, she just looted a treasury in the middle of a civilized city with no one even noticing.
nothing as silly as that happens in the book or the parts of the show based on the book. I am disappointed.
Aharon Moses AvrahamQuote Reply
Wildlings would appreciate hair for its warmth. That’s why I think Osha would still rock a bush. I have no trouble believing those in the southern half of Westeros and Essos places like Lys would go for a trimmed or shaved look. There is historical precedent for that- waxing and shaving isn’t new.

It’s just funny when you first see Osha with her gnarly hair you’d never imagine she’d be so well groomed down there.
The KingslayerQuote Reply
@Varamyr Fourskins
you left me speechless. You are awere, I hope, that shaving one’s pubic hair has nothing to do with either “brainpower” (as you aptly described it) or being civilized?
cultures and the norms of society change all the time. in certain times and places, women were only considerd beatiful if they were absurdly fat. in other places the ideal female beauty included a hairy body – yes, you heard it. not only a hairy pubic area (*gasp!*) but hairy armpits and legs and nipples…
just the fact that you now see something as the obvious aesthetic choice dosen’t mean that the same was always true or even that it is currently true evreywhere.
Plus, how many men do you think shave their pubic hair? as far as I know, most (or at least a significent part) don’t. Does that make the males of our generation less smart or cultured than the females? I highly doubt that…
bottom line is, no, women in the 12th century did not usually shave their pubic hair, especially not low-born hilly billies like the wildlings are.
Aharon Moses AvrahamQuote Reply
First off, shaving pubic hair has absolutely nothing to do with ‘brain capacity.’ It’s a cultural and aesthetic choice that has nothing to do with intelligence or cultural superiority. It also has nothing to do with whether or not someone is ‘unkempt.’
And LV is absolutely right – the vast majority medieval European marriages occurred post-puberty and – coming from a northern culture – it’s really unlikely that wildling women would practice ritual hair shaving.
Aharon Moses Avraham,
I agree. The characterization of Dany has been pretty interesting this season – she seems quite a bit more arrogant and entitled than I recall her being in the books.
I guess Qarth served to underline the theme that Dany can’t really trust anyone around her, but I think you’re right that they city came off as more of an obstacle for Dany than as a real place.

I don’t think it’s unrealistic that they wouldn’t be hairy. While the characters are aged up from the books, they are still 17, not in their mid-20′s like the actors playing them. While some people have some impressive chest hair at that age, it’s not that common.

I can’t say that I’ve been counting but can anyone tell me the number of cock to pussy scenes that we are clamouring about? I remember a couple of male scenes but not the number of female ones. Oh, and remember that a glimpse of pubic hair does not constitute a pussy scene. If a female actor stands naked her breasts and pubic hair are visible only whilst a male actor displays all his wares in the shop window, as it were.

First off, GRRM was inspired by medieval history, but, hello! This is a fantasy world with zombies and dragons and vajayjay shadow babies.
Secondly, have you seen the shaving utensils they had back then? I’d have to have a realllly urgent reason to use one of those things in such a sensitive area.
Also, I like chest hair. Not werewolf covered man chest hair, but this shaved like a baby’s butt fad for guys just doesn’t do anything for me.

A woman finds the controversy regarding body hair to be fascinating/funny/educational. Minge is not a word known in the states, so learning something new every day. However, what doesn’t seem to be present here is the knowledge that each person has their own natural level of adult hairiness, and they are vastly different from person to person. This woman has known of female friends/family who naturally have very little in the way of body hair anywhere, and probably would look like they had done some shaving to those of us who are more amply hair-endowed. So, Osha could very well have been in the “naturally less or lighter/less visible hair” category, which is why it didn’t jump out at me that she didn’t have a “proper bush.” Plus, it was a rather quick shot of Osha with the open robe, and my own eyes were more drawn to the perfect upper body proportions and overall shapeliness of Natalia. “Bush” really does vary from person to person, as does the amount of hair on men, on chest, back, face, and head. Most women have seen mature men at the beach (or elsewhere) with naturally bald chests, but full heads of hair and no back hair even at adult ages. The other side of the spectrum are men with no natural head hair but plenty of body hair on chest, back, and one would assume pubic area. Many men couldn’t grow a “proper” beard if they tried for weeks, as even their facial hair is patchy and not vigorous. There’s also the “in betweens” with light hair everywhere, or variances to that. So, there is a LARGE NATURAL RANGE of body hair for both men and women, so why would it be unnatural to have just a little “down there”? This “bush” discussion is just as silly as the other “Bush” discussion IMO, this woman would rather discuss more salient topics within the Westeros/Essos world. But, yes, Natalia did talk about it so it’s topical here. There’s no casting news yet, so whatevs.
Mrs. H’gharQuote Reply
I guess that this knowledge is very much present here. But you vastly overstate the possible differences. Most people – even blonde ones – have not so scarce hair as to appear shaved let alone waxed.
And the discussion’s point is, at least in my view, the obvious fact that in Game of Thrones the aesthetic choices concerning female full frontal nudity have been made in order to satisfy contemporary western (especially American) expectations. HBO can do and has done this differently in other shows where the historical context called for a natural look. ASOIAF contains clear descriptions that make perfect sense both in-world and when taking Martin’s historical inspirations into account. The producers chose to change this and it is obvious that they did it not because they had some well-argued reasons (and all the rationalisations given here are less than well-argued) but because HBO seems to think that the Game of Thrones audience is less sophisticated and tolerant than, for example, the audiences of Deadwood or Boardwalk Empire.

bush´s arguments are funny and weird and I´m bored so: I have an Araucanian friend who has abundant black hair on the head but very little in pubic area. Many indigenous (native to South America) have little body hair (especially men). But then Osha is not araucarian so yes, her minge was a bit neat. Who cares.

Mrs. H’ghar,
I would love to think it’s true, but we would probably just get a story about them trying out a new merkin maker for Season 3…. Sigh.
A man would like some casting news.
A man would settle for casting rumors….. happily.

Someone send a message to Dave and Dan, informing them that they must save us. Since no news has come from their side, the only discussions we can amuse ourselves with have a Bush in common.

Well I don’t really see the show to see naked women, and the ones that get naked aren’t really that attractive for me to care so maybe I missed something, but the only thing I’ve seem is pubic hair and I don’t think that counts as pussy.
By the way I’ve no problem with women asking them to show more cocks, they can ask whatever they want, I just don’t understand how the nudity have been unfair.
Well, IMO the naked women in GoT aren’t extremely attractive at all. The only one I’d consider extremely attractive is Doreah (Roxanne McKee), Dany (Emilia Clarke) has a beautiful face but her body is kind of meh. Osha (Natalie Tena) was good but not extremely attractive.
One question which males in GoT would women or gays consider extremely attractive?
