"Mockingjay: Part 2" and "Game of Thrones" star Natalie Dormer might play fearless women in her films and television series, but in real life, the actress is anything but.
When Women's Health asked her how she'd fare in the arena where Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark had to fight to the death with other tributes, Dormer admitted that she would not do so well.
"I don't know. I'd die basically if I was in the arena. I think the cannon would go," she said.
She was then asked who from the "Game of Thrones" series she'd like to bring in to the arena as her partner, and Dormer's choice was not her character Margaery Tyrell.
"Oh, what would I need to have with me? Brienne of Tarth. Can I cross-pollinate? If I could take Gwendoline Christie (the actress who portrays Brienne) into the arena with me, I will probably be fine," she said. "I would run as far into the corner as possible. Just keep running from one terrible situation to another and hoping that I leg it in time."
Dormer is pretty excited for fans to see "Mockingjay: Part 2" this November 20, and personally, the actress thinks that it's the best movie in the franchise.
"This is the fourth movie, it's the massive climax," Dormer said. "We saw a little bit in 'Mocking Jay, Part 1,' a little bit of the 'real world' out of the arena. In 'Mocking Jay, Part 2,' you see a whole lot more. It's going to be epic, and I don't use that word lightly."
She also discussed about her character's development in "Game of Thrones."
"Margaery has been with me now for five years, and she's-it's great, she's a part of my psyche," she said. "It's great when you've been part of a phenomenal show like that that keeps pushing the boundaries with its scripts and keeps you on your toes, has a familiarity to it, as well, so it's easy to go back into the skin. It's the perfect balance really."
The new queen might be languishing in jail as of the moment, but Dormer is pretty confident that she will see herself out in no time.
"Margaery is a savvy chick and she's trying to find an angle-she's trying to find a way to get out of that cell so it's pretty amusing and ingenious the route she decides to take," she teased.
