If you're a Game of Thrones fan, you know Gwendoline Christie as the female knight Brienne of Tarth, also known as "Brienne the Beauty". But what you may not know is before she ever graced the boob tube, Gwen went totally nude in a series of whacked-out photographs by British artist Polly Borland.
Gwen, who stands 6'3" ("or 6'4 1/2", she says, "depending on when you measure me"), caught Polly's eye while working retail in Brighton, England. Polly says she walked in to the shop where Gwen worked one day
"and there she was, surrounded by men, showing them some photos of herself at a recent party. I told her who I was and asked if she would be interested in me taking some photos of her, and she immediately said, "As you can see, I'm an exhibitionist, so I'd love that'."
Gwen and Polly ended up working together for nearly five years on the series, Bunny, although Polly says "it did take me about six months to persuade her to take off her clothes."
Gwen explains that, at first, "what I found terrifying early on was being confronted by my own nakedness," but "after three years of drama school... I can look at the photos and think, 'Wow, that looks great'":
