House of the Dragon’s Olivia Cooke recalls bowing like a servant when meeting Tom Cruise

Olivia Cooke, the 'House of the Dragon' actress, admitted to still refining her social skills despite her onscreen grace.

During an appearance on ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ on June 5, Cooke recalled an awkward encounter she experienced while filming ‘Ready Player One’ alongside Tye Sheridan in 2018.

The actress shared with host Stephen Colbert that the set of the Steven Spielberg-directed film "was a celebrity guest every single day.”

 She expressed feeling "mortified" by the stress of interacting with Spielberg.

"I'm like, ‘Oh god, don’t look at me,'" she recalled. "And he’s got loads of mates and they happen to be celebrities, like George Lucas would come to set. And then, we got whispers that Tom Cruise was gonna come to set."

"And then, I hear Steven go, ‘Olivia, come meet my good friend, Tom Cruise,'" she continued. "I completely blacked out, but apparently — my friend ran to the top of the stage to watch this interaction — and apparently, I bowed like a servant, like boobs to knee, like bowed, and then just shook his hand and then came to."

The actress jokingly remarked that the interaction was “void of chemistry” due to her nervousness taking over.
