Carice van Houten says the later seasons of "Game of Thrones" had less nudity as a reaction to the #MeToo movement, which took flight during the epic fantasy series.

The actor, who played Melisandre - The Red Woman, in the hit HBO show, believes the changing climate made the makers reflect on the R-rated content, which was one of the talking points about the series.

Asked if #MeToo had a role to play in less nudity in the show's later seasons, Van Houten told Deadline, "Yes. It also showed that you don't need it."
"I would be more uncomfortable now. The times have changed in many ways. Back then, it was all a little overwhelming. No one forced me into anything, but in hindsight I might have been a little more cautious with it."
