Olivia Cookeis sharing a very unfortunate — and relatable — story about her first day on the set ofHouse of the Dragon.
TheReady Player Oneactress, 28, revealed during a recent appearance onJimmy Kimmel Livethat she was suffering from a severe hangover on day one of filming theGame of Thronesprequel.
“I was very hungover. Really bad, actually. Really bad,” she told hostJimmy Kimmel.
Cooke — who stars as the older Queen Alicent inHouse of the Dragon —admitted that she began drinking with English comedian Alan Carr after appearing on hisLife’s a Beachpodcast.
“I never do that, but there’s this comedian in England who I love, Alan Carr, and he’s got a podcast,” she explained. “He invited me to be on the podcast, and I was very excited.”
“And my call time the next day wasn’t until 11 so I brought a bottle of wine just as a gesture,” she added.

“The podcast finished, and we’re just chatting, chatting, chatting. He’s telling me loads of gossip. More wine, more wine, more wine,” Cooke shared.
But things went downhill from there, according to the actress. “I don’t remember getting home. I remember, I tipped my head down to put my hair in a pony, fell over,” she recalled.
In addition to the hangover, the actress said she arrived to set the next day with a chipped tooth.
“I woke up the next day and I had a chip on my tooth. Very slight chip, but enough that the tongue magnifies it,” she revealed. “And you’re like, ‘What have I done?’ No one knew on set, until now.”
Despite feeling the effects of a night of heavy drinking, Cooke said her first day on set was still “amazing.”
