As a gamer who’s been around for quite some time, I can confidently say that my heart is still pounding with the rhythm of Westeros, thanks to the unforgettable journey of Brienne of Tarth, brilliantly portrayed by none other than the towering Gwendoline Christie.
Gwendoline Christie fondly recollects her tenure playing Brienne of Tarth on HBO’s blockbuster series “Game of Thrones,” which she joined in 2011 and first appeared in season two as the towering warrior. Despite the disputes that arose with later seasons, Brienne consistently garnered adoration from fans, who often praised her character development as the most compelling in the show.
Recently, Christie had an interview with Radio Times about her upcoming film, “Robin and the Hoods,” and shared thoughts on her legacy from “Game of Thrones.” The actress admitted that she was so engrossed in portraying her character that she didn’t pay attention to fan reactions, whether they were positive or negative. Despite some fans criticizing showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss following the eighth and final season, Christie commended their efforts in adapting George R.R. Martin’s cherished novels. Christie stated:
“I didn’t focus much on other things since I was deeply engrossed in my captivating character. The role was simply fantastic, rich with depth and full of intrigue. I admire the writing, the character development by George RR Martin, and the adaptation by David Benioff and Dan Weiss. I found it all to be exceptionally well-done.”
Gwendoline Christie Never Stopped Developing Brienne of Tarth
Among those who adore Brienne of Tarth most fervently, only Christie herself appears to hold that title. In a recent chat, the actress revealed her unwavering dedication to delivering an outstanding portrayal of this cherished character. Throughout the seven seasons she played Brienne, Christie continually refined her performance, always striving for the most authentic representation possible. To put it simply, Christie never let up in her pursuit of excellence as Brienne.
For all those years, the character always took care of my needs. I never stopped refining the character right up until the end, even when people were taken aback, such as when Brienne showed a smile upon being knighted. To me, that smile made perfect sense since it was a rare moment where she truly expressed joy, having finally achieved what she had long desired in an intensely personal and unique manner.
Although Christie’s role in Westeros may have reached its end (though no official announcement has been made), her character is expected to play a significant role in the main character of the new “Game of Thrones” spin-off series titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” This upcoming series takes place between the events of “Game of Thrones” and the ongoing prequel “House of the Dragon.” The story, adapted from one of Martin’s short stories, follows the character Ser Duncan the Tall (played by Peter Claffey), who embarks on a journey to participate in an esteemed sword-fighting tournament. In the books, Ser Duncan is believed to be a descendant of House Tarth, but the exact lineage has yet to be unveiled.
If fans of “Game of Thrones” TV series thought they endured long waits between seasons and new episodes, they haven’t experienced anything yet compared to book enthusiasts. The last “Game of Thrones” book, “A Dance with Dragons,” was published in 2010 – even before the HBO series started airing! Fans have been waiting 14 years for “The Winds of Winter” with no clear indication of its release date. Although some fans have given up hope, actress Gwendoline Christie remains confident that author George R.R. Martin will complete the book series. Christie expressed her belief in an interview:
“I am utterly convinced that he will, and I truly wish it to be true. My affection for George runs deep, and he has always shown kindness towards me. He is simply remarkable.”
