After ‘Game of Thrones,’ Nathalie Emmanuel Goes Rom-com

Nathalie Emmanuel is usually a fairly orderly person, but for the moment her house is a bit of a mess. “It could only be described as a war zone,” she says, over the phone from the U.K. “It was like World War III happened in here.” When you’ve been juggling the press and attention that comes with the end of “Game of Thrones,” and are in the midst of launching your next act subsequently, things like bills and laundry can go a little by the wayside (luckily for Emmanuel her mother came to the rescue with an assist). The 30-year-old English actress, famed for playing Missandei on “Game of Thrones” is still a bit frazzled from it all — not to mention sorting through the media attention following Missandei’s controversial death on the show. “Most people, just when they now see me, they’re like, ‘Oh, glad to see you’ve still got your head,’” Emmanuel says. “But the outpouring of love for Missandei has been overwhelming, in fact. And also what happened, which I’m sure you’ve seen, is it’s really sparked conversation around representation because of the fact that Missandei being the only woman of color was killed in such a brutal way.
