And the world is anxiously counting down the
days to the final season thrones."
No one more so than the person to my left.
That is correct and in case you're wonderin
there are only 11 days left for those of you
who are counting and we are excited because,
that's right, you're almost there.
One of the stars and one of the fan favorites
joining us, give it up for the brilliant gwendoline
Christie would plays the fierce warrior Brienne
of Tarth What's wrong with being confident?
Good to see you.
Oh.
Well, thank you for being here.
Thank you so much for me.
What a welcome.
Everybody is so excited and anxiously awaiting
the final season, the kickoff in 11 days in
yes, 11 days.
But you heard when you read the script you
couldn't put it down.
I really couldn't actually.
I was in a different time zone.
I was doing some work in Canada and I woke
up at 4:00 A.M.
And checked my email because I heard the scripts
might be coming through and they dropped in
and I sat there and I read them all the way
through from the start to the end and it was
a really -- it was a real emotional roller
coaster because things happen that deeply
startled me, upset me, I went bright red in
the face, had to put them down, was sort of
walking around.
I had to go out for a walk.
I was with my partner.
I don't really spill secrets about the show
but I was sort of talking in the abstract.
You literally just gave me chills.
I'm not kidding.
I'm so -- It was a very -- it was a really
extraordinary experience and I realize they
pulled out all the stops for this one.
Wow, that is a teaser if I've ever heard of
one.
Now, given that, have you ever had anyone,
a fan, friend, family go to any great lengths
to try to get you to tell them something,
a spoiler of any kind.
Do you know, I realized while I was aching
for the trip I realized I hadn't even told
my partner how it ends.
Wow.
I thought, shall I tell him and I thought,
no.
I love that.
Make him wait just like everyone else.
And this has to be one of the most closely
guarded secrets in all of Hollywood.
But are you a little worried you may let something
slip out?
You know, I haven't done so far.
I've been hugely lucky to be involved in some
really large projects that have extremely
high levels of secrecy and so I tend to just
-- I'm like a vault.
You know, it stays locked in there.
You can unlock it right here right now if
you want.
No.
They all want to hear.
No, it's the last season.
I don't need to worry about being employed
for another year with the company.
I am open to offers.
I love cash.
Cash is king.
Cash is king.
That's right.
So you said that fans may need therapy after
watching the final episode.
I love that laugh.
What a thing to say.
It's fairly telling then.
What was your reaction to the last episode,
the finale?
It's being a part of the show has been enormous
part of my life and what's wonderful about
that is that it's only mirrored in the audience
that so many people say to me, I love -- they
have a great experience watching the show.
They love watching it.
They have a communal experience and now it
extends beyond just our living rooms into
the rest of the world with the internet and
at the final episode, I just -- I put it down
with a very heavy heart, digesting everything
that occurs and some things are put to rights
and some things truly are not.
Oh, wow.
Ooh.
Come on.
You got to give me something.
I'm giving you everything here.
Oh, man.
Well, you know, we see you in your armor all
the time but recently you broke out of your
armor at fashion week.
I did.
You stole the show.
Let's put up a side by side.
Whoa.
That's armor of another kind.
What is more terrifying facing a sword battle
or fashion week?
Facing a sword battle.
Fashion week is my natural habitat.
That is where I come home.
It's actually a really incredible story that
this brilliant Japanese designer and my partner
discovered him on Instagram.
He told me about him.
He put up a picture of his work and the super
stylist Katie grand, she got in touch and
said they wanted -- she wanted to give Tomo
a show with Marc Jacobs and give him this
opportunity at New York fashion week because
he's a young designer and to have that kind
of ability to shine and asked me would I like
to do the show.
There was a choice of outfits, there was the
one you see there which is entitled the queen
or there was a slightly more low key one.
And I said, I don't know.
I think maybe my team would want me to be
more normal.
I'll go for the queen.
Because I can't defy -- A big fan, I hear.
What was amazing, the absolutely wonderful
Bella hadid -- she is a wonderful person and
she has such beautiful manners and such a
light that shines out of heir as a person,
she was very into the queen and gave me a
huge hug but I thought that she might get
lost.
I think she might still be lost in the layers
somewhere in that gown.
You are talking about bringing light.
Thank you for being here because you brought
a lot of light to the set today.
Your laugh is one of my favorite, I will tell
you that.
Gwendoline, thank you so much.
We can't wait to see this.
You got me salivating over here.
The final season of "Game of thrones," it
premieres Sunday, April 14th on HBO.
