Maisie Williams discusses her body image struggles she faced as Arya in ‘Games of Thrones’

Maisie Williams, who rose to prominence as Arya Stark on HBO’s Game of Thrones, recently revealed that she “resented” her character on the show.

Williams revealed her personal struggle as she matured in an interview with the British GQ magazine.

“I think that when I started becoming a woman, I resented Arya because I couldn’t express who I was becoming,” she disclosed to the publication.

The 24-year-old also revealed that portraying her persona as a fiery tomboy was becoming tough because her body was not in line with what the public wanted to see.

“I also resented my body, because it wasn’t aligned with the piece of me that the world celebrated,” she remarked while talking about the complications she had essaying Arya’s role.

Williams hinted at not missing her series, when asked about her experience and replied instantly by asking, “Can I say none of it?”

Adding to her statement, the actress clarified, “I don’t think it’s healthy [to miss it], because I loved it.”

Despite her dislike for the character, the actress expressed her joy at being a part of something so monumental.

“I look at it so fondly, and I look at it with such pride. But why would I want to make myself feel sad about the greatest thing that ever happened to me? I don’t want to associate that with feelings of pain,” she asserted before concluding.
