In an interview on Sunday, the 35-year-old actor broke down the “horrible” day on set filming the graphic scene.

“That was horrible,” he said. “Nobody wanted to be there. Nobody wants to do that, but if it’s telling a story then you have to tell it truthfully.

He continued: “They didn’t sensationalize it or anything. It was very, very hard watching. It’s a horrible thing that happens, unfortunately, and it shouldn’t be. It was the worst day of my career.”

In the HBO fantasy series, Ramsay raped his new wife Sansa on their first night together. The scene was widely criticized by many as needless. Many said the scene was one of those countless non-consensual sex scenes in the show.
