Her "Game of Thrones" character may be facing trouble on screen, but Carice Van Houten seems to be having a great time in real life. The actress has recently shared a pic of herself revealing a healthy pregnant glow.
"Sooooo ready for my massage #pregnant," said the 39-year-old actress to caption the pic showing her soft smile on her gorgeous make-up free face.
After a hectic schedule for the filming of "Game of Thrones" Season 6, it seems that the expecting actress is taking time to relax and respect her body. The Dutch actress has been playing the role of Melisandre, the Red Priestess, in the hit HBO series since 2012. The actress, whose character had given birth to some sort of demon shadow baby in an earlier season, took to Twitter in March to announce her pregnancy in the most hilarious way. Though the announcement in itself was brief, it was witty enough to engage her baby daddy, Guy Pearce, in the joke.
The two have been dating for just a couple of months. It will be the first child for both the performers.
Last month, the pregnant actress was spotted along with her close friend Jude Law in Amsterdam alongside some other fellow actors. While the "Spy" actor looked uber cool in a navy blazer with a thin scarf below a scoop neck top, the actress shielded her baby bump in a billowing white gown with its hemline hanging loosely off her figure, Daily Mail reported.
Lately, the actress was in news for speaking openly about nudity shown on "Game of Thrones." During an interview with The Guardian, she questioned why many people are fine seeing violence, but hold different standards for nudity.
Meanwhile, "Game of Thrones" Season 6 ended with a grand finale episode on June 26, Sunday. In one of the most powerful scenes, Davos (Liam Cunningham) exposes Van Houten's character as the wicked witch she really is, telling Jon Snow (Kit Harington) that she had burned Shireen at the stake.
