However, what really ended up happening is that Westworld’s creative team gave her some spoilers on her character, revealing she’d be human and would be having sex with some of the hosts in the parks. This is sort of similar to Emilia Clarke on Game of Thrones, who expressed being fine doing nudity while playing Dany later in the show's run, at least given a context like walking out of fire. But the only thing I knew was that I would potentially have sex with a robot and I knew I was human.īefore signing the nudity contract, she was super into playing the character however, she wanted to know what context the nudity would be in.
