During an appearance on the upcoming episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Maisie Williams, 26, expressed her affection towards pigs. She told the host about the time when she had a school field trip to the pig farm on the same day as her audition for the role of Arya Stark.

“Thank god she said, ‘Let’s not. Let’s go to the audition’”, she commented, humoring the audience.
However the tough choice has had an impact on Williams as she stated, “I missed out on the pigs and it’s really, really affected me in my core ever since”.
On the other hand, Barrymore continued to praise the actress for her remarkable role and said, “I want to thank your mother because we needed Arya Stark in the world”, and then later revealed a surprise for WIlliams.
She added, “I happened to have an area full of piggies”, asking The New Look actress if she would like to join, to which she replied with excitement, “You’re kidding, Yes!”.
The actress also called the day “the best day” of her life.
