Emma D’Arcy And Olivia Cooke’s Interview

A recent HBO Max clip released on the network’s TikTok page sent the entire internet into a frenzy and immensely increased the popularity of the Negroni sbagliato cocktail. The video showed a short excerpt from Cooke and D’Arcy’s interview where the co-stars seemed to be in lighthearted conversation.

During a Q & A interview, the “Bates Motel” star reportedly asked D’Arcy their “drink of choice,” and their next few words had a startling effect on viewers. D’Arcy first revealed that they preferred “A Negroni,” and after a pause added “Sbagliato.” The real icing on the cake was when they leaned forward and said in a slightly lower voice, “With prosecco in it.”

Cooke responded by calling the cocktail choice “stunning” and revealed that she was more of a gin martini type of person. She said, “I am actually really fond, as in my old age, of a gin martini with a twist. I think it’s very elegant. Gets me really pissed. I can only do two; then I feel sick.”

While “House of the Dragon” fans loved gushing about the camaraderie between D’Arcy and Cooke, they seemed more enraptured by the “Wanderlust” star’s captivating manner in which they described their favored drink. The clip reeled in over 7000 comments on HBO Max’s official page, most of which fawned over D’Arcy’s voice.

A follower declared, “I would give my money, my car, my entire family, and my soul, in order to have Emma say something directly to me.” Another wrote, “It always seems like they’re flirting with each other in all of these interviews I see lol so cute.” “They said Prosecco in the most seductive way possible,” one adoring fan stated.

Other admiring comments read, “Emma’s voice is ethereal; I was really shocked that they was [sic] talking in the first episode in a wonderful voice, and no one talked about that!” “I’ve watched this 100 times just to hear Emma say ‘with prosecco in it.’”

“I need Emma to voice an audiobook, do a podcast, anything that gets us to hear their voice for hours,” a fan demanded. “I don’t want to even say what happens to me when Emma says Sbagliato.”

Twitter wasn’t left out of the fun as the TikTok fever over the clip spilled onto the platform. Several thousand recent tweets have the word “Negroni” in them, making memes and simply commenting on the current trend.

The short clip is an excerpt from a Q&A session between the co-stars where they shed light on their favorite moments in the “House of the Dragon” sequel, “Game of Thrones.” D’Arcy and Cooke explained their preferred battles in the series as well as their favorite characters. They also mentioned what they thought their house sigils in the series would be.

Emma D’Arcy Didn’t Watch ‘Game Of Thrones’

While talking to Interview Magazine, D’Arcy revealed they had not watched “Game of Thrones” before their “House of the Dragon” audition. The 30-year-old explained that not knowing about the show probably helped them get their current role because they would have performed poorly otherwise.

“I hadn’t seen it before I auditioned, which I honestly think is the only reason I’m able to do the job,” they said. “There’s no way I’d have made it through the audition process if, at that time, I had the love for the show that I have now. I think I’d have buckled under the pressure.”

They explained that they had heard about the show but just neglected to watch it that time. “It came at the ideal time, actually, in the run-up to finally shooting.”

D’Arcy continued, “I’ve read the book that relates to the work we’re making, Fire & Blood. Not least because it’s very exciting to read ahead and get spoilers on your own story, highly recommend that.”
