'Game of Thrones' actress Maisie Williams says it is unfair that teen stars are "forced to play characters who are a lot more mature" and she feels lucky that this hasn't happened to her. Speaking to the Sunday Times Style magazine, Maisie said: "I have been really lucky, in that I play characters who aren't necessarily the eye candy. It's hard for young actresses who still feel like scrappy teenagers but are sort of forced to play characters who are a lot more mature, because, you know, 'young sexy woman' really sells in Hollywood." Maisie landed her role of Arya Stark in 'Game of Thrones' when she was just 12 and says she was a lot more fearless at the age of 12 than she is now at 20.
