A wannabe actress who earned her living as a prostitute before finding fame on “Game of Thrones” says her life was saved by the hit TV show.
Josephine Gillan made her acting debut as novice prostitute Marei being shown how to fake an orgasm in Season 2 of the fantasy drama.
She says she used her understanding of the sordid world to deliver an impressive performance as she returns to the screen.
The 27-year-old said, “‘Game Of Thrones’ saved me from a life of prostitution, and has made me a much stronger person. They were looking for young women with natural breasts and no tattoos, who didn’t mind being filmed naked, so I immediately sent in a picture. They wrote back that they wanted me and I was thrilled because it was an amazing opportunity to do some proper acting. But I had no idea how much it would change my life.”
Gillan was selling sex while also making X-rated movies under the name Sophie O’Brien. It followed a tough childhood ruined by sex abuse, alcohol and hard drugs. She was forced to go to 24 different primary schools while her mother fled a violent relationship, before she was taken into care at 12 years old and then fostered. But it seems her troubles are now far behind her, having become one of the longest-surviving characters in the hugely popular “GoT.”
Gillan has featured in Seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 — and has even signed up for Season 7, which begins filming later this year.
And from the small screen to the big screen, she has appeared in two independent films and is about to star in a horror mystery to be filmed in Mexico later this summer.
