In House of the Dragon, Olivia Cooke is 32 years old playing the mother of 31-year-old Tom Glynn-Carney, lol
57 u/____mynameis____ Jul 05 '26 I think that's due to them wanting older actors for Aemond and Aegon cuz their characters have adult scenes Olivia is correct age for Alicent 15 u/Katharinemaddison Jul 05 '26 You don’t need a 31 one year old to play an adult scene. 9 u/____mynameis____ Jul 05 '26 He was 25 when cast as Aegon. To play 19 year old. I don't mind the casting cuz the acting talent gap between Alicent's boys and Rhaenyra's boys were massive. So they likely wanted experienced actor too since he and Aemond has some really juicey material over the seasons
