She plays the mysterious Red priestess Melisandre in HBO’s Game of Thrones, and now actress Carice van Houten has thrilled fans by sharing her suitably unusual bay name.
Carice and her British actor and musician hubby Guy Pearce welcomed a baby boy on Monday, with Guy revealing the news by tweeting:
“A cute little package arrived and told us his name’s Monte Pearce. We think we’re gonna keep him. Placenta smoothie anyone?”
