Its hard to predict where memes will come from.
No one knew, or at least I didnt know, exactly what was going to happen.
So when I woke up on Monday morning here in England …
I venture to stay as far away from my phone as possible when I wake up.
You know, I try and detox.
Try and get away from it when I wake up.
But I just couldnt that morning.
I woke up and all I heard was my phone going ding ding nonstop.
Youre not gonna believe me Id forgotten that it was going to be airing the night before.
And Im like,What?And suddenly its dawned on me, and everythings going crazy.
But it was wonderful.
It was a really big surprise.
Its just a funny situation.

Were you talking with friends about it?
Or your parents?To be honest, Im still taking it all in.
Ive got friends being like, Youve got memes about you, man.
Thats their definition of fame.
Did you go out afterward?
I was thinking itd run out, but it just kept going.
I thought,Im gonna wake up any second and Ill just go back to bed.
Did your parents come over, or did you go to their house?Im 18.
Im still at my parents house!
I think it was more surprising for me than it was for her.
You know, she was, Youre a beautiful son!
Thats such a great mom thing, to be like, Oh, of course!Exactly!
But to me, it was very much a surprise.
And my dad as well.
I was like, Yeah!
So yeah, that was … that was my first experience getting stopped on the streets.
The temptation to look at my phone was just too much.
I tried to read a book, I tried to do other things.
Im just trying to enjoy it.
I had to cancel all my friends.
Your friends didnt want to watch it with you?
!No they did!
But my parents wanted to watch it with me.
They were like, This is an event.
Have you been watching the show all along?No!
I was too young when I started off, I never watched.
And eventually when I got old enough, I felt like I was over it?
I wasnt that keen, for whatever reason.
Now I really want to watch it, binge-watch the whole thing.
Is that … weird?
I was not that comfortable with it.
But it made me get tough skin and have fun with it.
What was that like?It wasnt the most simple thing to do.
But I think … the idea of breastfeeding, I never really thought of as a taboo?
Obviously not that natural at that age!
It was just something that happened.
And that wasnt even the hardest part of doing the character.
Becoming an absolute prick, and not holding back.
Yeah, Robin Arryn was not a pleasant person.
But Im mocking myself about it too.
Im just enjoying it.
At the end of the day, I am pretty happy with whats happened.
