We\'re guessing Rosie\'s not a natural blonde either judging by the eyebrows. According to her Instagram bio, Rosie is a "Singer/Actress/Part time Mermaid/Daenerys Double (season5,)-Virgin until marriage" The "mermaid" bit refers to her role as "Little Mermaid" in the upcoming non-Disney film "Little Mermaid."

"Hound Vs Brienne – 9 days in Iceland fighting and rolling down cliffs" wrote stunt performer Mark on Twitter, quite succinctly, about his experiences fighting a giant warrior while dressed as a woman. He\'s also stood in for Alexander Skarsgard in the upcoming

We think this might be stuntman Reg Wayment. But then we also think it might be stuntman Paul Heasman. Both worked on
