Ewan Mitchell Names Iconic Gangster Characters as Inspirations for Aemond Targaryen

By Marcello Massone | Published Jul 23, 2024

Aemond Targaryen, one of the most complex and conniving characters in House of the Dragon, draws inspiration from some of the most iconic gangster roles in cinema. Actor Ewan Mitchell, who brings Aemond to life, recently revealed that he modeled parts of his performance on characters like Robert De Niro’s in Heat and utilized techniques inspired by James Gandolfini’s portrayal of Tony Soprano in The Sopranos.

In a revealing discussion on Vanity Fair’s podcast Still Watching, Mitchell delved into Aemond’s dark motivations and how he channels these influences to portray a character so vastly different from himself. He explained that Aemond’s drive stems from a deep-seated need for attention, rooted in a childhood devoid of unconditional love. “Aemond never really felt unconditional love growing up,” Mitchell shared. “He was the spare son, although he felt like he should have been treated as the first. He was bullied relentlessly by his nephews, with his brother acting as the ringleader.”

This lack of acceptance, Mitchell explained, is what drives Aemond to seek his place in the world—by any means necessary. “The thing is, if a child isn’t embraced by the village, they’ll burn it down to feel its warmth,” he said, referencing the character’s growing hunger for power and recognition. With the newfound power of Vhagar, Aemond turns to war as his path to validation and the attention he desperately craves.

Mitchell’s approach to Aemond not only adds layers to the character but also pays homage to the intense, morally complex figures that have defined gangster cinema. His portrayal ensures that Aemond remains one of the most riveting characters in House of the Dragon.
