The Unexpected Skill That Aided Moryfdd Clark’s Stunts In Rings Of Power

In an interview with Hey U Guys, Morfydd Clark spoke about how daunting the experience of playing Galadriel and doing the show, in general, was for her. She noted that her own neuroses leave her anxious no matter what she’s about to do, and her work on “The Rings of Power” was no different in that regard.

She did note, however, that the climbing scenes were ones that she particularly enjoyed, because it was the only thing she had done before, and carried a bit of knowledge about that she didn’t have to learn on the set. She concluded that “it was very nice to have atleast one thing that I was semi-competent at.”

Despite learning on the job, however, Clark noted that despite doing dangerous things, the set itself was very safe. She applauded the show, and the stunt team, pointing out that she worked with them extensively before even shooting a scene. The team didn’t disappear when shooting either; Clark elaborated that for any scene, “there’s five people around you at any one time to, you know, catch you.”

This held true for the climbing scene as well, which Clark said was made more complicated by the heavy armor. There was, however, a stuntperson pulling her up from the top, alleviating some of the pressure of climbing. In addition, Clark said two stuntpeople at the bottom of the cliff were climbing without any additional help.
