House of the Dragon star Fabien Frankel may appear fairly composed when he's in character as Ser Criston Cole, but apparently the mask has slipped a couple of times on set.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show on Monday, Frankel told host Jimmy Fallon some amusing behind-the-scenes stories from the HBO series, showing a photo of himself sleeping in his armour (taken by his co-star Milly Alcock) before describing the very first, very nervous scene he shot where he managed to mess up a simple eye roll.

The director's response at the time? "Fabien, what's up with your face right now?"
