12 MORE Awards added to the long list of Emmys that departing show, Game of Thrones has already won. You may have certainly hated the final season of the series (I did, too) but that did not stop the epic fantasy drama to fetching yet another plethora of awards.

On that note, Carice Van Houten aka Melisandre sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss the polarizing final season revealing a special secret about the Jon Snow resurrection scene. 

She revealed: "The whole revival, the resurrection of Jon Snow, I improvised the shit out of that. Nobody saw it. I mean, I'm sure there are a few people that said, 'I knew what you were saying was wrong.' I’m sorry. But, you know, it was a tricky time. It was a long day, and I just didn’t know my lines."

The actress went on to discuss what she loved about the controversial series finale, particularly the destruction of the Iron Throne.

"I just love the fact that the whole throne was blown away. The whole thing was gone. I really loved it, and also the randomness of talking about who's going to be king. The silliness of it was very smart. I thought, 'This is what life is. Some dumbo can become president,'" she explained.

"That's the world we live in," she continued. "We just sort of go, 'Uh, that guy.' It was smart that it was just sort of silly. I really liked it, to be honest."

On learning the difficult of High Valyrian, Houten said, "It was so hard. I mean, Emilia (Clarke) had it way worse than me, of course, but I remember learning those lines. There's no reference whatsoever. It's like, 'Am I talking Hebrew? Greek? What is this language?' But it was fun because I also felt like if I made a mistake, nobody will notice."
