House Of The Dragon Cast Reveals THIS Costar Breaks Character To Make Them Laugh The Most On Set: ‘Funniest Man On Planet’

As a dedicated fan of the mesmerizing world of Westeros, I must admit that my admiration for House of The Dragon has only grown stronger with each passing episode. However, what truly sets this show apart from others is not just its grandeur or the intricate plotlines, but the hilarious antics of the talented cast members behind the scenes.


Behind the intense visuals of House of the Dragon, there’s a relaxed atmosphere off-camera where cast members often share lighthearted moments. Interestingly, it’s Rhys Ifans, portraying Otto Hightower, who brings the most laughter to the set.

During an appearance at a Comic Con event in New York on October 20, the main actors of the show – Matt Smith, Tom Glynn-Carney, and Fabien Frankel – shared that Rhys Ifans was often unaware of what was happening or tended to break character, causing others to burst into laughter, according to People magazine.

I, as a devoted follower, can confirm that Frankel mentioned the actor seems to have a clear understanding of his character, but in private, he often says something like, “I haven’t got the slightest idea what’s going on, not even today.” In our interaction, Smith humorously referred to the actor as “the funniest person on this planet, hands down.

As a die-hard fan, I must confess that working alongside him was an unbearable daily grind, trying to bring some semblance of professionalism into the mix. To quote him directly, “Every day felt like climbing a mountain to achieve something remotely professional.” The actor even went as far as saying it seemed like HBO was silently cursing him from behind the monitor, with a sentiment along the lines of “Jesus Christ, Rhys… Fabian and Olivia Cook in a scene together. Good luck with that!

Regarding Otto Higgins’ character, Ryan Condal (the showrunner and co-creator) revealed to Variety in August that Otto will play a crucial part in the upcoming season of the series.

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to welcome back Rhys into our narrative. Let me assure you, the saga of Otto Hightower is far from over.

In the second season of the widely praised series, viewers enthusiastically appreciated it. Following each episode’s broadcast, numerous discussions sparked online about the plot, while many fans attempted to interpret the symbolism hidden within specific scenes and dialogue.

In June 16, 2024, the second season of the show was broadcasted. Besides the already mentioned performers, there are numerous other talented artists who have been part of the show, such as Emma D’Archy, Olivia Cooke, Ewan Mitchell, Eve Best, Harry Collett, Paddy Considine, Sonoya Mizuno, Matthew Needham, Steve Toussaint, Phoebe Campbell, Simon Russell Beale, Phia Saban, and many others.

According to Variety’s reports, the HBO series will restart filming for season 3 in the year 2025, and it’s expected to wrap up after a grand total of four seasons.

House Of The Dragon’s seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on Max.
