Maisie Williams is changing the world, Stephen Dillane gets a new gig, and more actor news

Everyone wants some celebrity gossip today, right? Something to cleanse the pallet, so to speak? Here you are.

In news that might pick you up, People Magazine has named Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) one of its 25 Women Changing the World. Assassins can make a difference, too.

But seriously, Williams should be proud of being to the list, especially at just 19 years of age. Her mission? Making social media a positive place for younger generations.

"I think we have an idea of who victims of bullying are, and actually it’s anyone really. There’s no separate thing about me that made me, ‘the bullied.’ It can happen to absolutely anybody. And I wanted to get that across and let young girls know that you shouldn’t feel different for being bullied and you shouldn’t feel singled out."

Williams herself didn’t enjoy school as a youngster, specifically because of bullying. “People say, ‘Oh, that’s so strange that you got bullied. And I’m like, ‘It’s so strange that anyone gets bullied.’ We are the most developed generation
 in terms of talking about difficult subjects, homophobia, and sexuality, and racial issues. That’s what I love about us.”

And Williams practices what she preaches, too, having visited with Syrian refugees in Greece earlier this year. “I’m going to make the second half of this year my mission to try and better their lives,” she said. And to that we say bravo.

Next up, our old pal Stephen Dillane—aka Stannis Baratheon, the Once and Future King of Grammar—has a new project. Per Deadline, Dillane has joined the cast of Darkest Hour, a drama that stars Gary Oldman as British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in the period immediately before the outbreak of World War II. The film is scheduled for a fall 2017 release, and also includes actors John Hurt, Lily James, Ben Mendelsohn, and Kristin Scott Thomas. There’s no word on Dillane’s role as of yet.

And last but not least, the other half of the ‘Mophie’ power couple may have found a new squeeze. Sophie Turner was recently spotted canoodling (a word that is exclusively used when describing celebrity couples) with pop star Joe Jonas at a Kings of Leon concert in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Obviously, we are jealous of him…because he might learn Season 7 secrets early.
