Awkward! Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams may not be the one disrobing on the HBO show, but the 17-year-old says the nudity on the hit series does make for some uncomfortable moments when she's watching with her family.

Williams appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to discuss the new season of GoT. Cast in the role of Arya when she was just 12 years old, she says sometimes she still doesn't feel "old enough" to watch the show, known for it's extensive female nudity.

As if the show weren't already blush-worthy enough, Williams says she frequently watches episodes with her 87-year-old grandmother.

"Every time there was a pair of boobs on screen, mum would fill up [my nan's] drink with more gin," she told Kimmel.

Williams also revealed that while she hasn't read the Song of Fire and Ice books the series is based on, she does read fan comments about the show. When she read that fans didn't think she would be able to learn to sword fight left-handed (like her character in the books), she took it as a challenge and learned to handle the weapon with her non-dominant hand.

The fifth season of Game of Thrones premieres next month on HBO.
