Arya Stark was more interested in archery than dresses,Watch Mary Carey All Babe Network (2013) and the actress who played her was more interested in going to a pig farm than auditioning for the role. Maisie Williams revealed that she almost skipped her audition for the field trip, and just hearing this gives us anxiety. Imagine anyone else playing Arya Stark?!

Williams dropped this casually during an interview with InStyle in which she opens up about her teen years and the colossal life change of being cast in Thrones. Season 1 aired right after the actress turned 14 and she grew up in front of an international audience – she's now 21 and filming the eighth and final season.

“It was strange because I put on the personality of the girl who was ‘Maisie Williams’ but really struggled in my personal life,” Williams said in the interview. “I think just understanding I wasn’t the only one who feels like they don’t fit in really helped me, and it made me want to inform other young kids that it actually does get better.”

Game of Thrones returns in 2019.
