'Game of Thrones' Actress Gemma Whelan Calls Fan Reaction to Season 8 Her Biggest Disappointment
By Rachel Reed
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Gemma Whelan held nothing back. Discussion topics included her battle with anorexia, her greatest fears, and even her sex life. But perhaps the most interesting tidbit for Game of Thrones fans was when Whelan revealed what's disappointed her most.
Her answer? The unfavorable fan reaction to the ending. When asked her biggest disappointment, she explained her stance:
"The fans’ reaction at the end of Game Of Thrones because I think it was brilliant."
Despite the generally negative responses to the final season, it's nice to see the actress standing by her work and the HBO series all the way to the bittersweet end.
