Alfie Allen has revealed that he avoids watching Game of Thrones with his parents to escape embarrassment during the show's explicit sex scenes.
Allen, who appeared nude in the first season of the George R R Martin fantasy adaptation, admitted that on the one occasion he did watch the show with his parents, his mother Alison was taken aback by the sexual antics.
"We don't watch it together as a family," said Allen. "There was one time where I was with my mum and accidentally watched it.
"Ros (Esmé Bianco) was involved in a really graphic lesbian sex scene and my mum was just so shocked. That was pretty funny. We don't watch it together anymore though, that's for sure."
He also said that he was loving being an uncle following the birth of his sister Lily's first child Ethel last November.
"Oh, it's great. I'm as hands-on as I can be," he said.
"But new mums are very protective of their newborn babies, as you'd expect them to be. [Lily] is just loving it and she's doing great. They're all doing really well."
Teasing his expanded role as Theon Greyjoy in the second season of Thrones, the 25-year-old said: "I basically get sent back to Pike to form an alliance with my family. Things go kind of alright for him, but he has a big identity crisis. When he meets the Starks, he's tried to be a Stark, but now he's back with the Greyjoys he has to prove to them that he is a Greyjoy.
"So he makes lots of wrong decisions trying to prove himself. I think we can all relate to that."
Game of Thrones's second season starts on April 1 on HBO in the US and on April 2 on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
