Maisie Williams has claimed that Hollywood is ‘totally fake’.

The Game of Thrones star has said that, while everyone has a ‘great time’, no one actually ‘likes each other.’

In a candid interview with InStyle, Williams said: “Hollywood is not evil, it's just totally fake.

“And if you're into making fake friends for a night and having a great time then that's cool.

“Lots of people know it's all bulls**t so they just go and have that night where they're having fun with everyone and chilling. No one actually likes each other, but everyone is having a great time.”

The 18-year-old continued: “So if you want to play the part, you can.

“I don't have any desire to pretend to be someone's friend for the night. It just bores me. It bores me so much.''

Williams, who is currently shooting scenes for new film A Storm in the Stars, admitted that she doesn’t want to limit herself to just doing studio films.

“I don't want to just do studio films because some of the scripts are really bad,” she said.

“I never realised [there were so many one-dimensional female roles] until I read more scripts and had more auditions. Most of the time, it is a bit pants.''
