“Well, a con is you have strangers giving you love-life advice,” the Game of Thrones actress revealed. “Like, ‘I’m a big fan of the show [GoT], and I’m not sure what you’re doing with that guy,’ which I didn’t react well to. That happened in New York when Seth and I were together. This guy started to give me advice: ‘Can I get a selfie? And by the way … ‘ Unh-unh, bro.”

Us Weekly exclusively revealed in September 2012 that the comic, now 42, and the British actress, now 29, were quietly dating after they were spotted at an HBO party together. Their relationship, however, was short-lived, and they split in March 2013.

For now, she’s focused on her close pals and family members. “The gorgeous thing about having friends who aren’t in the entertainment world is they’re like, ‘You’re letting important moments pass you by. Don’t be cool about it,'” the British beauty revealed. “Like, ‘We’re at a Hollywood party, whatever. Stop. Appreciate this.'”
