Emma D'Arcy Calls Their House Of The Dragon Wig 'A Blessing' For Making Them Unrecognizable To Fans

In the same interview, Emma D'Arcy went on to explain that they're not grateful for their "House of the Dragon" wig just because of the public anonymity it provides them. According to the HBO star, the ability to blend into certain public settings is a key part of their process as an actor. "I feel that the ability to observe others and not be the observed is so fundamentally important to our job," D'Arcy explained.

The "House of the Dragon" star's comment garnered widespread agreement from the other actors present at their roundtable interview, with "The Last Thing He Told Me" actor Jennifer Garner confessing, "It's an enormous loss when you are the person that the eyes are directed toward." Fortunately, it sounds like D'Arcy's concerns have, for the most part, been for naught, thanks to the striking Targaryen blonde wig they wear on "House of the Dragon."

D'Arcy, notably, also isn't the only HBO star who has been able to retain a portion of their anonymity because of a wig. Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys, a distant descendant of D'Arcy's Rhaenyra, in "Game of Thrones," previously said that she was able to avoid being recognized for a long time because of her Targaryen wig. "I don't get recognized," Clarke revealed during a 2016 interview with Conan O'Brien. "Truly, I'll be walking with Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, or Gwen [Christie], who plays Brienne of Tarth, and [fans] will be like, 'Oh, can you take this picture for us?' And I'm like, 'Sure! Definitely, I can!'"

All of this is to say: Those Targaryen wigs really do work wonders.
