So, you know that whole weird scene with Theon and (unknown to him) his sister Yara riding along to see their father after he lands on the Iron Islands? Yeah, THAT one. Well, things could've been a whole lot weirder if actor Alfie Allen's real-life sister, Lily Allen, had taken up the role of Yara. The singer was in fact offered the part on the show, and explained her decision to turn the role down on Reddit: "They asked me if I'd be interested in playing Theon's sister. I felt uncomfortable because I would have had to go on a horse and he would have touched me up and s***. Once they told me what was entailed, I said no thanks." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr2Grfi3lFg On a pretty much unrelated side-note, that's Lily's song dedicated to her darling brother... Don't question it, just enjoy.
