Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at Variety’s Power of Women gala, she said: “I don’t know how [rumours] like that get started and people think they’re legitimate. […] Dream casting is fun [but] I heard it was like announced though, which is weirder.”
The actress admitted she’d heard the speculation; however, dismissed the suggestion.
When asked to confirm that she’s not officially involved in any Game of Thrones project, Elizabeth said: “I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
