At the end of the series premiere, Isaac Hempstead Wright was just 10 years old when he starred in one of the series infamous scenes.
He was cast as Bran Stark who was initially pushed out a window after witnessing twins Jaime and Cersei Lannister having sex.
The actor would later go onto comment on the scene as he noted that a few awkward conversations happened at home.
The actor said, “I was pretty much told what was going on… But it just sort of meant that my mum had to give me the sex talk a little earlier.”
He added: “And with some sort of topics that probably aren’t covered by general sex talks.”

If there is one thing we know about Euron Greyjoy, played by Pilou Asbæk, is that this character desires is to sleep with or marry a queen. And eye brows were raised when the long running Cersei slept with him in the premiere of series eight, Winterfell.
However the Lena Headey was not okay with it and reportedly fought with the showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss behind the scenes about the controversial scene as Entertainment Weekly reported.
Lena commented: “I kept saying, ‘She wouldn’t, she wouldn’t, that she would keep fighting.’ But [Benioff and Weiss] obviously know what they’re doing and were adamant Cersei would do what she had to do.”
Grey Worm and Missandei
Cast your mind back to the second episode of series seven, where the Immaculate and the maid Missandei revealed their feelings towards each other. 4 series of building chemistry eventually led to an intimate sex scene, which went down in history as one of the series most passionate.
At the time of the series premiere, Nathalie Emmanuel spoke with Entertainment Weekly saying: “There’s something unique about it purely because of Grey Worm’s situation — his brutal history of being mutilated.”
The actress continued: “There’s a real sense of trust here and that really plays out in this lovely scene where they physically act upon their love.”
She added: “For him to do that is a really big deal and Missandei knows that and doesn’t really care. She just loves him and that intimacy they’ve shared comes to a head.”

Gemma Whelan played the bisexual Lady Yara Greyjoy in 8 seasons of the fantasy drama where she had her fair share of raunchy scenes. Especially remembered by fans was the infamous horseback scene involving Yara’s brother, Theon.
But Gemma would later go onto comment, saying that the show’s sex scenes were “a frenzied mess”.
She commented: “They used to just say, ‘When we shout action, go for it!’, and it could be a sort of frenzied mess … But between the actors there was always an instinct to check in with each other.”
The actress added: “A director might say, ‘Bit of boob biting, then slap her bum and go!’, but I’d always talk it through with the other actor.”

In the show’s pilot, Daenerys Targaryen was initially played by Tamzin Merchant, and she is married off to war lord Khal Drogo in a bid to make use of his army.
In one harrowing scene, Daenerys is raped by her new husband on their wedding night, but author George RR Martin, who was on the set, said the scene was ruined, and it was eventually scrapped.
In his book Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon, the author revealed how the horse on the set grew “visibly excited” watching the scene play out.
The excerpt reads. ““So we’re by this little brook. They tied the horses to the trees and there’s a seduction scene by the stream. Jason Momoa and Tamzin are naked and ‘having sex’.
“And suddenly the video guy starts to laugh. The silver filly was not a filly at all. It was a colt. And it was getting visibly excited by watching these two humans.
“There’s this horse in the background with this enormous horse schlong. So that didn’t go well either.”

In one steamy scene in the seventh series, Daenerys and Jon Snow spent a night of passion together as they realised their feelings for one another.
Fans saw the pair romping in bed together after a trip to Kings Landing together, and they were left conflicted as at the same time, Bran Stark revealed that the pair were actually related.
Daenerys’ older brother Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark secretly had Jon together, with Lyanna’s brother Ned pretending Jon was his illegitimate son to keep him safe.
