Everyone’s Obsessing Over ‘House of the Dragon’ Star Emma D’arcy Saying Their Favourite Bevvy
Are you seeing this clip 10 times a day, or are you straight?
No one is immune to the pure debonair of Emma D’arcy revealing their favourite beverage in this viral interview clip.
So far, non-binary actor Emma D’arcy has been absolutely stellar in their role as adult Rhaenyra in HBO’s House of the Dragon. D’arcy took over the role of Rhaenyra from Australia’s own Milly Alcock after episode five’s ten-year time jump and has received nothing but praise for their quietly rageful portrayal.
As if their simply transfixing talent on-screen wasn’t enough to endear them to fans, D’arcy’s interviews and press are driving fans wild. Especially, one interview between them and their co-star Olivia Cooke, who plays Alicent Hightower.
In the clip, shared by HBO’s official TikTok account, Cooke and D’arcy are asking each other questions from prompt cards. Cooke asks D’arcy, “what’s your drink of choice?”
Utterly dripping with suave in a long pink striped shirt and tie, D’arcy replies without hesitation that their bevvy of choice is, “A negroni sbagliato,” emphasising coyly, “with prosecco in it.”
“Oh, stunning,” Cooke replies, before explaining her own drink of choice, a gin martini with a twist. “I think it’s very elegant and it gets me very pissed.”
The original clip of the incredibly talented and beautiful duo has garnered almost 10 million views. But those views don’t count the 100s of stitches and duets with the clip of queer folks losing it over how effortlessly charming and sexy D’arcy’s voice is.
Their seductive virality has also seen an increase in orders for the drinks over the weekend, according to various bartenders. Not to mention, the many TikToks of people trying the drink for the first time.
Why are people so obsessed? There’s probably a scientific explanation, but basically, Emma D’arcy is just incredibly hot and charming in this clip in a way that transcends sexuality, gender, space and time – and if they ever need company while they’re sipping that negroni sbagliato, I’m happy to oblige.
