Game of Thrones star Josephine Gillan who plays Marie on the show has shocked fans by revealing she was working as a prostitute before landing the series. Josephine, who sold her body and appeared in X-rated films as Sophie O'Brien, reveals she fought for a part in the cult TV show after hearing of a casting call for women who "didn’t mind being filmed naked". "I was thrilled because it was an amazing opportunity to do some proper acting," the Irish actress says, "but I had no idea how much it would change my life." Gillan's luck has certainly turned since she landed a role in Game of Thrones - she was taken into care at the age of 12 and was raped by a friend who pimped her out from the age of 16.
