Paddy Considine also reveals he nearly passed out filming a particular scene for the Game of Thrones prequel.
Also, he watched his own father slowly die of cancer.
“My mom ended up blind and lost both of her legs to diabetes.
She very much had those qualities that Viserys had, too.
That was a difficult thing as a son to watch,” Considine toldVariety.
Considine’s father died of cancer, and before that, his father attempted to take his own life.
Near the end, nurses told the actor his father had 24 hours to live.
[Long pause.]
But I said, ‘Dad, just let go.
Just let go, Dad.’
And he couldn’t.
He didn’t want to let go.
I still don’t know to this day.
But sometimes when people pass, I feel like they know.
Its like when a dog goes away to die on its own.
And I felt that very much with Viserys."
It’s almost like your brain starts to tell your body that you are sick.
It’s really quite weird," Considine said.
Considine will obviously not be part of House of the Dragon Season 2.
“But at least I got to tell a full story.
He had a beginning and he had an end.
And the end was pretty spectacular,” Considine said.
