His sister is notorious for her shoot-from-the-hip approach to life.

But actor Alfie Allen, brother of pop star Lily Allen, is clearly keeping his sibling in check as his own star continues to ascend.

It comes after she claimed she was offered a role on hit TV series Game Of Thrones.

The 29-year-old singer claimed during a Reddit chat last month that producers of the HBO show had offered her the role of Theon’s soldier sister Yara.

However, Lily turned down the role due to an uncomfortable first scene between the pair which saw Theon attempt to seduce the sister he hadn’t seen in years.
But Alfie, aka Game of Thrones’ Theon, has dismissed the comments, declaring that actress Gemma Whalen was always the first choice.
‘The only thing I’m going to say on this is that’s not true,’ he told Vulture, before refusing to elaborate further.

Fibbing? Alfie says Lily’s claims about her role in the hit TV series are untrue

Footage obtained by TMZ shows Alfie being asked about the situation outside a Los Angeles restaurant, but – once again – he declines to answer.
Alfie has played Theon – heir to the Lord Of the Iron Islands – since the first season of the show which has seen the character go from womanising rascal to a ***** of his former self after being captured, tortured and castrated by evil Ramsay Snow (Iwan Rheon) in the third season.

However, Lily said she would still be interested in appearing in the show in a different guise.

‘I would be open to doing a musical cameo like Sigur Ros,’ she said.

The Icelandic band made an appearance at King Joffrey’s wedding feast earlier this season to perform the Rains of Castermere.
Lily is concentrating on her music career – she released Hard Out Here last year – her first single since 2024 at the end of last year, while her younger brother will continue to appear on Game Of Thrones.

‘It gets dark’ Alfie told Entertainment Weekly about the forthcoming episodes. ‘I don’t think people will find it as hard to watch this year.

‘It depends what kind of person you are. It’s more of a mental torture than it is physical. It’s daunting as an actor. I have to do more telling of the story with my eyes than with words. I’ve never really done that type before.’
