Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams unrecognisable in new photos

Almost three years after Game of Thrones left our screens, one of the show’s main stars is sporting a very different look.

British actress Maisie Williams has posed for a glamorous new photo shoot, with the young star sporting a very different look to her days on hit TV show Game of Thrones.

The 25-year-old star has sported chestnut-golden hair and feathery brows on the cover of fashion company Net-a-Porter’s digital title, Porter.

Williams, who was just 13 when she landed the role of Arya Stark on the HBO fantasy series, spoke about meeting perceptions of traditional beauty in an interview with the magazine.

“For the longest time, I was battling with wanting to look traditionally like what people picture as beautiful and I was getting really lost in that,” The Sun reports.

In the glamorous photos, the actress certainly looked a far cry from the character that made her famous.

She played Arya, the tomboy third child of Ned Stark, in all eight series of Game of Thrones.

Her character went on a horrific journey, having spent half of season five completely blind and halting her mission to get revenge on those who had wronged her family (she has a list).

However, despite her small stature, she became one of Westeros’ most prolific fighters.

She said: “Arya was written as hot-headed and I catch myself in roles jumping straight to being accusatory or angry or upset.

“I’ve felt myself kind of melting away from that, because that isn’t the reality of a lot of people.”

Maisie played Arya Stark for all eight seasons.

She added: “But it was Arya’s reality, and maybe mine, so I do find myself jumping there as if it were my place of comfort.

“I’d love to leave the crying and screaming for a while.”
