Apparently, the producers of Games of Thrones — a popular television program about dragons, incest and chopping people up — wanted Lily Allen to have a cameo as the sister of Theon (whom her brother, Alfie Allen, plays). There was a little catch though, which is that THEON FINGERS HIS SISTER ON A HORSE. So Lily Allen respectfully declined.
In a Reddit AMA, a fan asked her how she feels about the fact that her brother “got a job on the coolest show on tv??” Allen responded:
I’ve been asked to do a Game of Thrones cameo, they asked me if I’d be interested in playing Theon’s sister, and I felt uncomfortable because I would have had to go on a horse and he would have touched me up and shit. Once they told me what was entailed, I said no thanks. I would be open to doing a musical cameo like Sigur Ros, though.
I want to know whose job it was to explain the role to her and why they thought it was a good idea. “Lily Allen, we would love to have you on the program. Ok, so, as you know, the fans are all really into incest and dragons, and we thought it would be pretty cool if we gave them one of those things IRL, and, you know, we don’t have access to any living dragons…” [Billboard]
