Karma is a b****. Natalie Dormer reveals how she was bullied as a young kid, being likened to a pig, and how she shows her own bullies what's it like to be a star in George R. R. Martin's "Game of Thrones."
Latest news revealed that even superstars have bullies in their past. Natalie Dormer, the beautiful actress who plays Margaery Tyrell in the HBO hit series "Game of Thrones," has spoken up about the alleged similarities with her and Kermit the Frog's new girlfriend, Denise.
News.com.au revealed that when fans have noticed the slight resemblance, the "Game of Thrones" star seemed not bothered at all and spoke of it during the New York Comic-Con.
"When I saw Kermit's new girlfriend, I was like 'Maybe I'm a bit responsible for that'," Natalie Dormer said. This is in reference to the revelation she made about being bullied when she was younger.
The report revealed that when she was younger, Natalie Dormer was bullied for her nose; a physical part of her that she has embraced. Remembering the horrifying experience while making "Game of Thrones" episode, Natalie Dormer asked writers to let her point out her "pig nostrils" as an in-your-face to her childhood oppressors.
"There's a scene in season three where I'm walking on all the cliffs with Sansa, and I'm telling her how I was teased as a young girl for my nose," Natalie explained.
"I asked in a dinner with David (Benioff) and Dan (Weiss), 'Please, can you put in a line about a pig nose? I was bullied at school, I used to get told I had pig nostrils.' I said, 'For my own demons, it would be sticking two middle fingers up to the bullies of my childhood."
"If you watch the DVDs, you'll see me oinking backstage (in outtakes) ... I brought up the pig subject myself," Natalie Dormer added.
StopBullying revealed 28% of students in the United States have experienced bullying, and even less percentage of those being bullied stand up against their oppressors. Natalie Dormer, in her own pacified way, stood up against her monsters --- and that "Game of Thrones" episode was her way of retaliation.
Good job, Tyrell. Good job.
