Maisie Williams, 18, on filming her 'extremely awkward' first sex scene in The Falling

Maisie Williams has opened up about filming her first ever sex scene, admitting it was 'extremely awkward'.
The Game of Thrones star, who turned 18 in April, spoke to Vulture about losing her onscreen virginity in The Falling.

'It was extremely awkward!' she said. 'But [co-star] Joe [Cole] was very sensitive to the fact that I had never done a scene like this before, and it was great to work with someone who was so considerate of that.
'We went out for a couple of lunches and stuff just to get to know each other, and we had days of rehearsal where we'd get to know our characters and spend a couple of hours with each other,' she added.
'So I knew him quite well, and we got along quite well. It all paid off in the end.'
The British mystery drama is set in an all-girls school, where Maisie's character Lydia - and soon the rest of the girls - begin suffering from mysterious fainting spells.

'During shooting, we all lived in a house together. We were sharing rooms and sharing beds, and we'd have heart-to-heart talks all the time,' she said. 

'We'd also have evenings where we'd practice our fainting, which was pretty mental. Just falling on the floor, learning how to fall without injuring yourself.

'It's a great thing to take with me to use in other projects, in my stunt training. It's like stop, drop, and roll,' she added, joking that she could pull the maneuver if anyone recognises her on the street.

Despite her tender age, Williams is of course now considered a veteran, having played Arya Stark on the HBO epic series for five seasons, and was looked to on set to guide the newbies.
