Games of Thrones stars Kit Harington and wife Rose Leslie ‘do not feel famous at all'
'I don't mean to be insincere at all, but I don't think we are in the spotlight,' she told Tatler magazine.
'It's not something that we independently or together chase. We are fortunate whereby if there are projects we do that galvanise attention then that's amazing – but I don't think we feel famous at all.'
The actress has filmed scenes of a sexual nature during her career, including the famous Game Of Thrones cave scene with Harington, and said somebody recently approached her and remarked on a nude scene she had filmed.
'I had someone come up to me and be like 'I know you – I've seen your tits',' she said.
'And I was like 'You have?' And he was like 'Yeah, I've seen your tits.'
'But I suppose, if you put yourself out there, then what can you expect?'
Leslie and Harrington, who live in Suffolk, married in 2018 and have two children.
'Suffolk is really our base now,' she said.
'I think the catalyst for us to really feel like this is home is nursery and our wish for our children to kind of see this as home.'
The couple married at Rayne Church in Kirkton of Rayne in Aberdeenshire and held their reception at Leslie's 12th century family castle.
Guests at the wedding included Game Of Thrones stars Peter Dinklage, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Emilia Clarke.
'God, I felt so elated that day,' Leslie said.
'It was the culmination of being married to the love of my life, in the home that I was incredibly happy in, bringing all my friends to Scotland – and the joy of that day was just fantastic.'
Asked if they will permit their children to watch Game Of Thrones, she said: 'I don't think it's our decision.
'I think if they wish to see Mum and Dad do their thing – I mean, I'm not talking about the cave scene (a raunchy scene between their characters), I'd rather not – but the other scenes and whatnot…'
Leslie, who is also known for her roles in Death On The Nile and Downton Abbey, will star in an adaptation of William Somerset Maugham's play The Constant Wife at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon from June.

‘See it. Say it. Censored' – Kneecap ad banned from London Tube
It comes after a poster advertising the rappers' September 18 gig at Wembley's Ovo Arena was rejected by Transport Media, which manages advertising on board the London Tube. The poster featured the group's balaclava logo. In a statement on Instagram, Kneecap said: 'How petty can political policing and interference get. After using the tube to advertise loads of times for gigs, records and our movie, all without issue. "The poster on the next graphic has been rejected because: 'it is likely to cause widespread or serious offence to reasonable members of the public on account of the product or service being advertised, the content or design of the advertisement, or by way of implication' We need your consent to load this Social Media content. We use a number of different Social Media outlets to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity. "Speak out against genocide and they'll use every single angle they can to silence you. 'Join the IDF [Israeli Defence Forces], murder kids, fly to London and nothing happens – you'll be welcomed and applauded. 'See it. Say it. Censored,' the band added, a play on the British Transport Police's commonly used phrase 'See it. Say it. Sorted'. It comes after the band hit out at the Scottish first minister John Swinney during a gig in Glasgow's O2 Arena, which replaced their cancelled slot at the TRNSMT festival. In advance of the gig, Mr Swinney described their appearance as 'unacceptable' given comments that he said were 'beyond the pale'. During the concert, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs as Mo Chara, addressed the crowd and said: "What's your First Minister's name?" before swearing and adding: "They stopped us playing TRNSMT but they can't stop us playing Glasgow." ADVERTISEMENT Kneecap were axed from the line-up of TRNSMT in the city amid an investigation by counter-terror police into Mo Chara, who is accused of a terrorism offences related to a Hezbollah flag he allegedly held up on stage at a gig in London last year. It was the band's first performance after Avon and Somerset Police announced the launch of another criminal investigation into Kneecap after their Glastonbury set. During their Glastonbury set they led chants of 'F**k Keir Starmer' as the British Prime Minister said the band should not be allowed play at the festival. Before their performance, the BBC confirmed they would not be live-streaming the set but did make the performance available following the gig. However, the act whose set was instead shown live on the BBC, punk rockers Bob Vylan, themselves led the crowd in chanting 'Death to the IDF', which is now the subject of a police investigation. Multiple international bodies and figures, including the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste, and the UN special rapporteur on Palestine, have called Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide. Bob Vylan have since had gigs cancelled but have also received widespread support for their stance. Ó hAnnaidh was charged for displaying a Hezbollah flag and chanting 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a performance in November 2023. On June 18, he was released on unconditional bail from Westminster Magistrates' Court until his next hearing on August 20. Hundreds of supporters arrived outside the Court, with Ó hAnnaidh joining his bandmates, and international human rights lawyer Darragh Mackin, after the hearing. After the hearing, Mr Mackin said: 'The reality is this is an egregious attack on the freedom of expression and I think today's crowd is symbolic of just how people feel.'
