Fabien Frankel, who plays Ser Criston Cole on HBO’s House of the Dragon (HOTD), went on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” recently and revealed some amusing “behind-the-scenes” information from the Game of Thrones prequel. The following are some of the interesting facts discussed in the presentation. Fabien may have received a minor spoiler alert from HOTD, but in the meanwhile, he is enthralling fans as the Knight of the Kingsguard.
Fabien Frankel: From Criston’s Armor forward
No one had ever seen Ser Criston Cole in full armor until his visit on “The Tonight Show.” Fabien Frankel made a stylish statement with his wavy hair and crisp black coords. Jimmy Fallon exclaimed, “It looks heavy!” as he displayed a still from “House of the Dragon” starring Fabien Frankel. Do we have something here? The British actor remarked on how substantial it was. Essentially, it lost weight over time.
However, in the beginning, there was a breastplate, which is a defensive gear that covers the top of your chest and neck. “The difficulty was that you couldn’t shake it,” he added. For the first two and a half weeks of filming, Fabien had to sit like a zombie and be fed like he was sick.
So you lost two inches in a single day? Jimmy has inquired. “Yea, yay, yea,” Fabien Frankel remarked. Well, you get pretty comfy in the suit of armor, Jimmy explained, displaying another photograph. Fabien was seen nodding off in his armor while resting on a chair in an incredible set photo.
“I’m a true, living, horrible sleeper.” Many people appear to sleep well. “I don’t,” Fabien replied. For the record, the shot was fired by Milly Alcock, who plays Rhaenyra Targaryen in the prequel. She even went so far as to share the image online.
Talking more about Criston Fabien Character
“Are you okay with us discussing your personality?” Jimmy’s inquiry was directed to Fabien. “Due to the fact that you are everyone’s favorite Dan.” After a brief pause, he joked that his followers had “started to turn you on a little bit.” Resuming the conversation, Jimmy inquired, “How does it go as an actor-like…” “I was aware that people disliked me,” Fabien explained.
“I remember, like, all the actors lined up, and I heard somebody mention, that guy portrays Criston Cole,” he stated when asked about his Comic-Con experience. He irritates me greatly. “What? already?” Fabien exclaimed, perplexed. It hasn’t even been released yet!”
What Can We Expect From HOTD in the Future?
Is it difficult to have so many episodes that show so much without revealing anything? Jimmy has inquired.
Yes, I met them; frightening people,” Jimmy replied. “I won’t give anything away, but what happens in the following episode?” What Jimmy had to say about it. Yes, yes, it’s great to meet you, Fabien answered, chuckling. Thank you so much for your assistance.”
Can you keep quiet about the approaching events? How long will the series continue? In a condition of perplexity, Jimmy inquired. Fabien says there are two more left after eight were released yesterday. “I’m guessing there’s nothing left for the finale.” Jimmy has inquired. “There will be the last episode,” Fabien vowed. He joked that there would be “something happening in it.”
On-Set Debut for Fabien Frankel
According to Fabien, “all the cast members, including Paddy, Rhys, Matt, and Liv—all very good actors—were in a big sequence on the first day of filming,” as if in a close-up. “It got to my point in the sequence, and all I did was roll my eyes since I just had one bit in the whole thing,” he said.
When they told him, “You have knight duty tonight,” Fabien rolled his eyes. He had a “facial spasm,” and it wasn’t the scene he was expecting, he stated. Despite the presence of 53 cameras, he doubted that anyone saw anything.
Miguel, the most perceptive director, was wading through 155 extras, according to Fabien, so he observed, “Fabien, what’s with your face right now?” “Please explain yourself, Miguel,” I asked a question. “I feel the same way I did then,” he joked. Ser Criston, like the rest of us, feels apprehensive from time to time. Do you intend to watch the most recent episode of HOTD? What will transpire?
