Game of Thrones rescued me from prostitution... by giving me the role of, yes, a prostitute: Actress famed for her flexibility reveals she learned the skill as a sex worker

Josephine Gillan (pictured), 27, who plays the red-haired courtesan Marei, really did earn her living as a prostitute before finding stardom in Game Of Thrones. 


Josephine made her debut in series two as a novice prostitute being shown how to fake an orgasm. Onset she is seen parading naked (left and inset), performing sex acts and taking part in orgies.
