Yahoo Finance Olivia Cooke Reveals She Was 'Very Hungover' on Her First Day of Filming House of the Dragon
Olivia Cooke is sharing a very unfortunate — and relatable — story about her first day on the set of House of the Dragon.
The Ready Player One actress, 28, revealed during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she was suffering from a severe hangover on day one of filming the Game of Thrones prequel.
"I was very hungover. Really bad, actually. Really bad," she told host Jimmy Kimmel.
Cooke — who stars as the older Queen Alicent in House of the Dragon — admitted that she began drinking with English comedian Alan Carr after appearing on his Life's a Beach podcast.
"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.

Following the recording, Cooke and Carr began to catch up over the bottle of wine.
"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."
