Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams on her first sex scene: It was extremely awkward

Warning: Some very light Game of Thrones spoilers follow

Maisie Williams - who plays everyone's favourite surviving Stark (think about it...), Arya, on Game of Thrones - was recently seen in The Falling.

The 18-year-old actress plays Lydia in the independently produced film about an all-girls school in the 1960s.

Speaking to Vulture, Williams said that her first sex scene, filmed with co-star Joe Cole, was "extremely awkward".

She said:

It was extremely awkward! But [co-star] Joe [Cole] was very sensitive to the fact that I had never done a scene like this before, and it was great to work with someone who was so considerate of that. We went out for a couple of lunches and stuff just to get to know each other, and we had days of rehearsal where we'd get to know our characters and spend a couple of hours with each other. So I knew him quite well, and we got along quite well. It all paid off in the end.
