The men behind 'Game of Thrones'

GAME of Thrones star Sibel Kekilli reckons it’s about time that the female actors kept their clothes on, and the male leads on the show got their gear off instead.

While the women on the popular drama are often shown in various states of undress, Kekilli (who plays Shae, the object of Peter Dinklage’s eye) said that it’s time for the men to step up.

When asked at a recent press conference to promote the show if the men should show more skin, Kikelli said, “Yes of course. Why are all the women naked?”

“I mean good-looking guys,” she added.

“I want to see Conleth Hill and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Peter Dinklage.”

Double standard...Game of Thrones star Sibel Kekilli reckons it’s time for the male actors to get naked and let their female costars keep their kit on.

“We’re going to talk to (show co-creators) David Benioff and Dan Weiss,” she joked.

Kikelli’s co-star Carice Van Houten, who plays the creepy priestess Melisandre, agreed.

“Hell, yeah!” Van Houton told The Guardian.

“Of course it has to be functional and it mostly is. But in general that’s what I like about the show, not the sex per se but the nudity is part of life.”
