Question: who is the big woman in game of thrones

Her character -- an unusually tall, muscular, and plain - looking woman -- is a favourite among many readers of the novels, and Christie had been proposed for the role by fans long before auditions took place. Christie said that she could draw on her own experiences of having been bullied for her height and androgynous looks to play the part of Brienne, a role that she was passionate to play after reading the A Song of Ice and Fire novels which the show adapts. To prepare even for the auditions, she started wearing unisex clothing to help her get into her character 's more masculine mindset, and took up an intensive training regime, gaining over a stone ( 6.4 kg, 14 lb ) of muscle mass.

Martin, she obtained the role practically without debate after an arresting audition at which she appeared already made up and costumed as Brienne. After being cast in the role, she prepared for it by working out extensively, taking horsemanship, sword - fighting, and stagefighting lessons. Christie
