Dormer, who is best known for her role as Margaery Tyrell on the hit HBO series, joked with the hosts of the podcast how her daughter will talk about her conception 30 years from now.
“She’ll probably be sitting in a bar in 30 years’ time on a date going, ‘Yeah, I’m a COVID baby,'” Natalie said. “I think there’s going to be lots of COVID babies cause what else could people do?”
