Morfydd was surprised and nearly speechless. “I was like okay cool, cool. It had to be a secret, an absolute secret. To the people doing my hair and makeup, I said, ‘something big happened, but I can’t tell you what it is.’” She let the happiness sink in. “At the premiere, the whole time I was thinking, ‘Wow I got the job in The Rings of Power’ and we watched the film it was lovely, Got on the stage for Q&A afterwards and hid the deck, just passed out. I managed to just go off the stage, I was looking at my sister and suddenly I couldn’t see her anymore and I was like I have to get off stage and it’s filmed as well, where you kind of see me wandering off slightly, glassy-eyed and then I was caught by a security guard which was really nice” the actress shared.
