Naomi Watts hilariously diverts Jimmy Fallon from questions about the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel
Good luck getting any “Game of Thrones” prequel info out of Naomi Watts. The actress has signed on to play “a charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret,” according to reports, and it seems she’s already doing some method acting on the secret-hiding front. Naomi stopped by “The Tonight Show” on Wednesday, July 24, where Jimmy Fallon did his best to coax a new tidbit out of his guest about the as yet untitled show, which has been filming in Northern Ireland this summer. “Can we talk about the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel? Are we not allowed to discuss anything?” he asked at one point, according to E! News. As the audience cheered, Naomi shook her head. “No,” she said quickly. “Wow,” Jimmy joked, looking shocked. “You really shut down.” That’s when Naomi unleashed a gold star-worthy call for distraction. “Tequila, tequila, tequila!” she hollered. The Roots played along, launching into the classic tune. “That’s the way to get out of it,” Jimmy admitted, looking impressed. “We won’t talk about it but I am very excited about it and congrats,” he added. Naomi, however, wasn’t quite done. “But wait,” she said, “don’t you get a shot of tequila?” According to Entertainment Weekly, author George R.R. Martin has leaked that characters from the Stark family as well as the White Walkers, direwolves and mammoths will all appear.
