Maisie Williams says she only did Game Of Thrones because she wanted a laptop

Maisie Williams is the latest Game Of Thrones star to not mince words about why she took up the role.

The teenager - who plays Arya Stark - is the next actor to join Ian 'Tits & Dragons' McShane and Stephen 'Stannis' Dillane on with their thoughts on the well-regarded show. And it appears that Maisie only wanted to star in the show to get some money together to afford a laptop. Talking to the Guardian, Maisie said:

"The thing I was really obsessed about was whether I would earn enough money to buy myself a laptop. My step-dad Gary just looked at me and said, 'I think there’ll be enough for a couple of laptops Maisie'."

The interview capped off a big weekend for Maisie, who spent Sunday joining some unsuspecting Game Of Thrones fans for a impromptu screening party of the Season 6 premiere.
