‘House of the Dragon' Star Milly Alcock Says Getting Assigned an Acting Coach on Set Made Her Feel ‘Not Very Good at My Job'
'House of the Dragon' star Milly Alcock said her bosses on the hit HBO series got to work finding her an acting coach after her first day filming.
'On my second day on 'House of the Dragon,' one of the — I'm not going to say who, but someone very high up — pulled me aside and was like, 'Um, we're gonna get you an acting coach,'' Alcock, who plays young Rhaenyra Targaryen, told Jimmy Fallon during a visit on 'The Tonight Show' Monday night which marked the actress' very first talk show appearance.
'It just confirmed everything that I've kind of known to be true, [which] is that I'm not very good at my job,' Alcock added. 'You know what I mean! I was like, 'I can't do this. This is terrible. This is a big mistake.''
Fallon comforted the young star by complimenting her performance, despite the criticism she had received.
'I'm sorry. From the very episode, you were a fan favorite,' Fallon shared. 'That guy is wrong. You are unbelievable.'
Fallon mentioned that not only was Alcock remarkable as young Rhaenyra but that the show was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Drama Series in 2023. Alcock downplayed the honor saying that she 'didn't win it!' but Fallon wouldn't let her off the hook and responded, 'Yeah, you did. You won. Your show won.'
'House of the Dragon' Season 2 is streaming on HBO. Production for Season 3 started up in March of this year, with new additions, Tommy Flanagan, Dan Fogler, Barry Sloane, Tom Cullen and Joplin Sibtain added to the cast.

NYC influencer accuses scandal-plagued Brandy Melville of ripping off her logo on new t-shirt: ‘They're so shameless'
A Big Apple fashion designer is accusing the scandal-plagued fast-fashion chain Brandy Melville — worn by pop star Ariana Grande and other celebs — of ripping off her western-themed logo. 'Brandy Melville stole my logo and put it all over a bunch of shirts, and we're doing some investigative research today to see if they're in store and, unfortunately, buy them, so I can get them to my lawyer,' influencer Emma DiMarco, the founder of the Brooklyn-based vintage and apparel brand 'Kissing Cowboys,' said in a May 31 Instagram video. The clip then shows DiMarco, 29, inside of Brandy Melville's Union Square location, pulling one of its $21 red T-shirts – which bears the words 'Kissing Cowboys' in white font and a black-colored silhouette of a cowboy – off a hanger. Advertisement 'I'm, like, actually speechless. This is so insane,' DiMarco continued in the video, which has amassed nearly 175,000 views. Brandy Melville, which launched in Italy in the 1990s before coming to the US in 2009, has repeatedly been accused of fostering a toxic environment — racial and size discrimination included — among its workers, according to reports. Advertisement Former employees blew the whistle on workplace conditions and toxic culture in a 2024 HBO film, 'Brandy Hellville & the Cult of Fast Fashion.' 3 Emma DiMarco claims Brandy Melville ripped off the design she created for this flyer, and posted on Instagram last year. Kissing Cowgirls/ Instagram 3 Brandy Melville removed the $21 t-shirt off its website this week. Helayne Seidman DiMarco claims the popular fashion brand has now victimized her as well, by stealing and profiting off of the design she created for a vintage pop-up she hosted in Brooklyn last year, which remains visible on her public Instagram profile. Advertisement 'They must have screenshotted the flyer and removed the cigarette from the cowboy's mouth … but the space between the letters, the letters, and the space between the cowboy's head — it's all the same,' DiMarco fumed. 'They're so shameless — that's the part that makes me really angry, is that they're basically like, 'What the f–k are you going to do about it?' DiMarco told The Post. 3 'They're so shameless – that's the part that makes me really angry,' DiMarco, who sells her own 'Kissing Cowboy'-brand merch, told The Post.

Maher advises Democrats to ‘win' Elon Musk ‘back'
Comedian and media pundit Bill Maher is advising Democrats to 'win' back tech billionaire Elon Musk after the world's richest man fell out publicly with President Trump. Maher slammed some Democratic strategists' proposal that the party needs to have its own version of Joe Rogan. Instead, Maher said, Democrats should ask themselves why they lost 'the old one' since he 'used to be on your side.' 'He's expressed unease with some things Trump is doing, as has a certain disgruntled former employee named Elon Musk, who, like Joe, is another guy who, five years ago, was thought of as a liberal but got driven into the other camp by bad attitudes and bad ideas, a reversal I completely understand, although I would never emulate,' Maher said Friday night on HBO's 'Real Time with Bill Maher.' 'They tried real hard to cancel Rogan a few years ago, and when Elon hosted Saturday Night Live in 2021, well before he was a Trumper, some of the cast members gave him the cold shoulder for the sin of being rich. You think people don't remember when you do this s— to them that it's not going to have blowback,' the comedian said, alluding to Musk's previous support for Democratic candidates, including former Presidents Biden and Obama. 'Now me again. You don't have to win me back, because I never left. But all the guys in America like Joe and Elon, yeah, you do have to win them back. The good news is you can,' he added on Friday night. Maher then pointed to Musk's recent criticism of the administration, including his disappointment with Trump's 'big, beautiful bill.' Trump said Thursday at the White House that he had a 'great' relationship with Musk, but that might not be the case anymore. The tech billionaire and former Department of Government Efficiency adviser then fired back, signaling he is open to forming a third party, backing calls for Trump to be impeached and accusing the president of being listed in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump warned that he could opt to cut off Musk's companies' contracts with the federal government. 'So I think we call that a gettable voter, someone who's mulling a change,' Maher said of Musk. 'Maybe this will put quietest to the nonsense that Elon and Rogan too went to the dark side.' Ever since suffering heavy losses during the 2024 election cycle, Democrats are looking to rebuild their image, shore up their base and find ways to effectively counter Trump. The party is also looking for its next leader. Democrats have also expressed frustration about efforts to bring men into their coalition who, in November, backed Trump over former Vice President Harris. The GOP did a better of job of speaking to men during the race, particularly younger men, through mediums such as podcasts. 'They kicked our a‑‑es all over the place with these guys,' one top Democratic strategist told The Hill. 'They met male voters exactly where they were and we, on the other hand, had nothing comparable.' At least one House Democrat is open to wooing back Musk, who previously was a Democratic Party donor, into the party's tent. 'If Biden had a big supporter criticize him, Trump would have hugged him the next day. When we refused to meet with @RobertKennedyJr, Trump embraced him & won. We can be the party of sanctimonious lectures, or the party of FDR that knows how to win & build a progressive majority,' Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said in a Thursday post on social media platform X.
