The 10 Best Acted Scenes Of Game Of Thrones Season 8
5. Grey Worm And Daenerys React To Missandei’s Death
An unsung hero of the Game of Thrones cast, the perfect reaction from Jacob Anderson as Grey Worm as his love’s head is chopped off is timed to impeccable effect.
It’s impossible to forget Grey Worm staggering backward as if he’s about to be sick, knowing that he didn’t quite turn around quick enough to avoid seeing Missandei's head leave her shoulders completely, and is left steadying himself staring at the ground.
His jaw works a mile a minute to hold back the screams of anguish, Daenerys seething as her glare is unwavering at Cersei. As Emilia Clarke holds her dead-set eyes steady and her brow strong against her enemy, her sharp intakes of breath are the first true signs of the violence she’s faced with turning her into a vengeful tyrannical figure. The tears she shed for Jorah are long gone, and all that’s left behind is anger.
