However, the scene is interrupted by his older brother and now King, Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney), who has put him down for years. Mitchell’s Aemond was once again ridiculed by Aegon, but this time around, he decided to stand up (literally and figuratively) in front of Aegon.
He did that completely naked and proceeded to walk out. You can check out the full-frontal scene (warning – NSFW) here and here.
In an interview with Vulture, Mitchell addressed his nude scene and explained the meaning behind it, stating:
“Aegon catches Aemond in a vulnerable spot. Picking up the script for the first time and seeing those brothel scenes in episode two and three, I saw a brilliant opportunity to offer a rare glimpse of his vulnerability.”
He then noted that Aemond is now in a place that “stops him from being hurt like he was as a kid” when he was the only child left without a dragon egg.Β
“Thatβs why heβs able to walk out on the madam in that scene. Heβs humiliated by his brother and all his crew, and itβs like this switch flips. The madam is no more. All of these people in front of him? They mean nothing,” the 27-year-old English actor continued.
He added,
“He stands up, he owns it. βYeah, Iβm bulletproof. Anything you say, it will not work.β”
Mitchell also said that going completely naked was not a “choice made lightly.”
‘House of the Dragon’ is currently airing on HBO every Sunday.

Both links on the words “here” and “here” work for me.
“You can check out the full-frontal scene here and here.”
Uh, no, I can’t; they both say “this does not exist”
