Lesser-Known Facts About Eve Best

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUg7QAWh0G8

1. She Never Watched Game of Thrones Until She Landed The House of Dragon Gig

Even though she plays the role of Princess Rhaenys Velaryon in House of the Dragon, a Game of Thrones prequel, the British actress never watched GOT until she landed the former role.

She was a complete Game of Thrones Virgin until an encounter with Steve Toussaint who plays the role of her husband in House of Dragon convinced her to start watching it. Therefore, she hasn’t seen any part of it before she got the House of Dragon gig.

The actress revealed she was initially skeptical about watching GOT for fear of digesting too much information that could interfere with her performance.

2. Best Moved To Italy Where She Is Growing Producing Olive Oil

The Ladbroke Grove-born actress is currently living in Italy. She bought a small farmhouse in Italy in 2015, but she was hardly there due to work.

Therefore when the Brexit vote was passed, she had to quickly move into the house while she was still European. She packed all her belongings and moved to Italy.

Since it is a farmhouse, she is presently growing and producing her own olive oil. Although it is a tough job to do, she said she finds joy and peace in doing that.

3. She Is Helping To Preserve Wildlife

Besides acting and taking care of her olive farm, the actress works with the Radnorshire Wildlife Trust. The trust is working to revive a rhos pasture at her family’s sheep farm in mid-Wales. So whenever the actress is around, she helps in planting trees.

4. Eve Best Is $3 Million Richer

Eve Best has an estimated net worth of $3 million. The fortune was earned from her acting career. At the moment, it is expected she would earn a pretty decent sum from her role in House of Dragon. According to reports, the series would cost $200 million in total and $20 million per episode.

5. The House of the Dragon Actress Apologises To Herself For Being Tall

Eve Best is 5 feet 9 inches (177cm/1.77m) tall. A height such as this makes her feel quite tall, but she was worried the height intimidates people, so she subconsciously apologizes to herself.

The 5 feet 9 inches (177cm/1.77m) tall actress has won several accolades, including Olivier Awards, Drama Desk Award, and two Tony Award nominations for her stellar performances on the broadway. Even though she is yet to land an award for TV and film roles, there is every possibility she would earn some in a few years to come.
