The show's toddler bride plotline notably shocked fans, and Toussaint agreed that Corlys' actions that brought about that storyline should be seen as such.

The actor said: "It's an interesting one, because looking at it from our modern eyes, in episode 2, Corlys proposes that Viserys marries his daughter [Laena], and so we have this scene where the two of them are walking along and it's so ridiculou
