“It's never nice, as it's someone who is such a wonderful person and brilliantly talented performer. And we've become very close and very good friends over this short period of time. It's an absolute, absolute dream to work with her. But we’re not going to stop being friends.”
(On Luke’s death):
"Also, he was just such a beautiful spirit. He was just the most beautiful... In real life and in the show, he was just this most beautiful person, wasn't he? I think for all of us, it was just the most awful, horrendous thing that could have happened." - IGN

Hi there, listen it’s really great that you’re excited about the Steve and Eve interviews that we’re posting, but we only focus on their careers, their personal lives are none of our business. Steve has a partner and has been clear about that. Thanks for understanding!
(What is your favourite line from the show and why?)
“I love the D word.”
“One of the lines that you say is a perfect mic drop. Daemon tries to give Rhaenys a command and she just walks out and goes “would that you were the king.” It’s just so brutal.” -
@StevieToussaint
Steve Toussaint is eager to lend his voice to the [animated Nine Voyages] project. “I would gladly do that,” he tells Inverse. “If I'm lucky, I might say to them, ‘Let me just be at the beginning [of the show] sitting with a book saying, ‘Let me talk about my life,’” he said.
There's Rhaenys and Meleys memorials and serious episode discussions happening on the timeline and I'm bugging
@EveBestOnline
when to post the Rocking Sex Life video. Too soon or not soon enough? You know. 😅
The prow of 'The Queen Who Never Was' (the ship, formerly known as the Sea Snake) has a new figurehead. And she's holding the crown! 👑
Her maiden voyage will be at the Battle of the Gullet.
#HouseOfTheDragon
“So when we meet Corlys in episode 5, he’s devastated. She gets the death, I guess, that she would want in the sense that I think Baela says it, “she died by dragon fire” but of course that doesn’t take away the pain.” -
@StevieToussaint
“There’s that point where you say “I know, I’m not stupid… “
“Yes! I know! I had to say it!”
“Yeah, I suppose.”
“I’m not speaking to you ever again, this relationship is over.”
“He’s being forced to grow up a bit more this season.” -
@StevieToussaint
“Thank you.”
“Good actors are good actors, no matter how old they are (...) Once you stand there in front of this other performer and look into their eyes and you see the truth, then the job is so much the easier.”
— Steve Toussaint for IndieWire

👏
"He's doing a lot of this for his wife. In fact, at one point in season 2 he says, 'What I do now, I do for her. My wife.' So he's trying to cling on to this relationship, which is the one honest thing he has in his life." -
@StevieToussaint
"My ship is no longer the Sea Snake. She was a testament to my own glory. I’ve given her a new name. The Queen Who Never Was. What I do now… I do for her."
— Corlys Velaryon, 2.08
The Queen Who Ever Was
#HouseoftheDragon
Kate Rhodes James on casting Steve Toussaint & Eve Best for their respective roles on House of the Dragon.
"Steve and Eve Best are just spectacular together and they look after each other."
“Rhaenyra versus Aegon, Team Black versus Team Green. Shut the fuck up. Rhaenys solos both.” -
@StevieToussaint
“Yes, thank you very much and good night.” - Eve Best

@StevieToussaint
teases upcoming scenes with Eve Best that hints to Lord Corlys and Princess Rhaenys’ earlier dynamic. We can’t wait to see what else
#HOTDS2
has in store for House Velaryon.

“They’re still grieving the loss of Luke. (…) and also having to deal with some dark clouds on the horizon due to past misdeeds.”
“Misdeeds? Misdeeds isn’t it? I’m glad you’re admitting their misdeeds at least, that’s a start.” - EB
Eve Best &
@StevieToussaint
for
@RadioTimes
Most likely to lead you on read in an emergency:
“The person most likely to leave you on read, a bad texter, is sitting on my left.” -
@StevieToussaint
"Yup, that's the woman I love, that's the woman I'm sharing my life with the one who smells like Gucci shoes and halibut. That's ~my lady." -
@StevieToussaint
“I remember rowing quite a lot.”
“You and I?” -
@StevieToussaint
“Yes. We were cross with each other.”
“Oh, in the thingy. I thought you meant you and I.”
“I did mean you and I.” 🙂↔️
“Corlys always went out to sea so Rhaenys never felt like his priority and when she died it finally came to Corlys that he always thought about himself and so he did the one thing he could do to take his namesake, his ship, and make it hers.” - Geeta Patel
@StevieToussaint
“I think certainly for Corlys, when you meet him, he is also not only riven with grief for his grandson, but still trying to come to terms with the fact that he's lost his daughter and his son and his brother.” -

And while some jokes are okay, many are taking it way too far and not understanding the boundaries so we’re just helping clear it up. Again, thanks for understanding.
We're not talking enough about the Velaryon blockade of the Gullet exposing everyone's jobless behaviour and contributing to Otto's downfall!
#HouseoftheDragon
(What if you met your character in real life?)
“I think I would like my character from a distance. I think I’d make jokes, and he would just like “that’s not funny.” -
@StevieToussaint
"[Rhaenys] comes to his workplace with a picnic and, in that brief time, we get a glimpse of what they were like, you can imagine what they were like when they were courting." -
@StevieToussaint
Throwback to
#picnicgate
from the S1. Eve & Steve get their picnic, afterall!
(If you could pick one dragon to be your battle companion, who would you choose?)
“I’d probably pick that one (Vermax) because I like the name. And, from what I can tell it’s not too big.” -
@StevieToussaint
Who’s telling Eve the crushing news?
“Despite what we see in S2, what he says at his sick bed in 110, where he says, 'lets just go, let's just forget all about this, let's enjoy the rest of [our lives]'. I think that's still where he's at. Any action that he does after that is because of his wife.”
@StevieToussaint
"What I've liked most about this show is actually getting to know these people. Everybody's just so lovely. I'm glad that I'm part of opening up this Westeros universe. It's been an absolute joy."
— Steve Toussaint
#HouseoftheDragon
Legends say an old mariner still roams Driftmark's docks waiting for his true love to return.
The season finale of
#HouseOfTheDragon
airs tonight, may we find out if he ever leaves dry land.
"Addam—much like Clinton, who plays him—is a very sweet and innocent soul. And I think those who come into contact with him can’t help but be enamoured of him."
— Steve Toussaint on Clinton Liberty
“At the time, in terms of the sea stuff, I, myself used to get seasick.… but since then I’ve been on water since and it seems to have gone. So, I’m ok.” -
@StevieToussaint
on getting over his seasickness.
Sometimes interviews just takes a left turn and go where u didn't expect. My talk with House of the Dragon stars Eve Best and Steve Toussaint was certainly one of those times. Had a blast with the two of them!
Kept the peace for 30 years by not going nuclear at the Great Council. Respectfully, they deserved to be content with their grandchildren. 💔
#HouseoftheDragon
“There's a conscientious side of her [that says], 'Not on my watch, yet again, shall a woman be passed over, and a woman be treated with the lack of respect and honor that happened to me.' But I think on a sort of personal level, I think she wishes that she'd listened to him.”
Me and
@EveBestOnline
waking up everyday to cover
@StevieToussaint
& Eve's press run, and they're talking about armour fetish and "riotous love-making" in the woods. For every eloquent answer, we just expect three insane ones to follow.
