Kristen Wiig appears as Khaleesi from Game of Thrones in hilarious Jimmy Fallon interview
WEARING a peroxide wig and with a dragon on her shoulder, Kristen Wiig has appeared as Khaleesi from Game of Thrones on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show.
WEARING a peroxide wig and with a miniature dragon on her shoulder, Kristen Wiig has appeared as Khaleesi from Game of Thrones on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show.
The sketch is becoming a semi-regular bit for the funnylady. The premise: She dresses up as someone she knows little about, and then hilariously bluffs her way through an interview in character.
“Remind me again, what is your real name?,” Fallon asked Wiig.
“Karen ... it’s Karen,” Wiig said.
When Fallon asked “Khaleesi” where she lives, Wiig said, “in a dome that I made ... out of dirt and sticks with all my dragons ... my dragons helped me build it”.
It’s not the first time Wiig has posed as a celebrity on Fallon’s show — she made a hilarious appearance as Harry Styles last year, complete with Harry’s signature blazer and floppy hair.
Meantime, Wiig has spoken about what it was like to strip off in her new movie, Welcome To Me.
She appears nude but not for a sex scene — in the movie, Wiig plays a mentally ill character with Borderline Personality Disorder.
“Being naked in a film or on stage isn’t always supposed to be sexy,” Wiig told The Violet Files, according to the Daily Mail.
“It was the part and it felt right, so I did it.”
The 41-year-old said she was “nervous” before shooting the scene.
“Of course you’re nervous, and you know people are gonna make comments but if you care about that, your job instantly becomes more difficult,” Wiig said.
“You have to do things for you.”
