“I’m Not Good Enough”: Milly Alcock’s Confession
Milly Alcock recently dropped a bombshell on The Tonight Show about her early days filming House of the Dragon.
The talented 25-year-old actress shared a gut-wrenching moment that had fans rallying to her defense and Jimmy Fallon going into protective mode right on national TV.
The Second-Day Shocker
Just two days into filming the massive HBO hit, Alcock got pulled aside by a bigwig on set.
“Someone very high up came to me and was like, ‘Um, we’re gonna get you an acting coach,'” she told Fallon with a nervous laugh.
The audience gasped at this revelation, clearly shocked that anyone would question her obvious talent.
Self-Doubt Spiral
The criticism hit Alcock right where it hurt most – her confidence.
“It just confirmed everything I’ve kinda known to be true, that I’m not good at my job,” she admitted with painful honesty.
Her vulnerable confession resonated with viewers who’ve experienced similar workplace doubts.
Fallon’s Fierce Defense
Jimmy wasn’t having any of it. The normally jovial host turned serious, staring directly into the camera to address the unnamed executive.
“You’re totally wrong, buddy,” he declared firmly.
Fallon reminded everyone that Alcock became an instant fan favorite from the very first episode.
Rising From Ashes
Despite this early setback, Alcock’s career is absolutely soaring.
After breaking out as young Rhaenyra Targaryen and making a brief season 2 cameo, she’s now starring in Netflix’s Sirens alongside Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon.
Her journey proves that sometimes the harshest critics get it spectacularly wrong.
