𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 is done playing by Hollywood’s outdated script. The House of the Dragon star is boldly calling out the double standards women face when speaking up about intimate scenes on set—where voicing discomfort too often gets them branded as “difficult” or worse.

In a candid interview, 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 praised the rise of intimacy coordinators, describing them as a game-changer for women in the industry. “Good intimacy coordinators become a voice for women who are just starting out and don’t have the vocabulary to say what they’re not comfortable with,” she said. For 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲, these new standards aren’t just about safety—they’re about respect, choice, and rewriting the rules of power on set.

While Gwyneth Paltrow reflected on the old days of Hollywood—when actors were expected to get naked on cue—𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲’s voice carries the urgency of a new generation. She represents the shift toward empowerment, reminding the industry that boundaries are not obstacles, they are necessities. “We just wish they’d speed up a bit,” she added, calling for faster progress.

𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 isn’t just playing a queen on screen—she’s demanding Hollywood crown women with the respect they’ve always deserved.

𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 isn’t holding back. In a no-filter chat with Cooper Koch for Interview Magazine, the House of the Dragon star laid it all bare — from shooting explicit sex scenes in her buzzy new Prime Video thriller The Girlfriend, to her deep-seated class anger, to the shame spiral of doom-scrolling.

“I don’t even know if I can watch it myself,” 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 confessed about the series’ raunchier moments, admitting that despite the safety of intimacy coordinators, the vulnerability of being that exposed on screen still haunts her. But don’t get it twisted — she’s proud of the work, even if she’s secretly praying no one throws a watch party in her honor.

𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 also ripped into class divides, recalling her Manchester upbringing and the hunger to escape expectations. That rage, she admits, is exactly what drew her to The Girlfriend — a story about love colliding with privilege.

And when she’s not filming? She’s fighting her “phone monster,” reluctantly clinging to Instagram (since 2020, only for work) and blocking apps just to avoid the spiral. “It can suck the creativity right out of you,” she said.

With The Girlfriend now streaming, 𝗢𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 is proving she’s not just TV’s reigning queen of fantasy dragons — she’s unafraid to tackle sex, shame, and social media head-on, all while reminding Hollywood that vulnerability might just be her sharpest weapon.
