Actress Natalie Dormer was bullied at school for having "pig nose", but the "Game of Thrones" star is now used to the comparisons and laughs off the suggestion.
The 33-year-old English actress, who made an appearance at New York Comic Con, said people also compare her to "The Muppets" star Kermit the Frog's new girlfriend Denise, reported Contactmusic.
"When I saw Kermit's new girlfriend, I was like 'Maybe I'm a bit responsible for that.'" she said.
The actress has now learned to joke about herself and even asked "Game of Thrones" writers to include a reference to her nose in an episode.
"There's a scene in season three where I'm walking on all the cliffs with Sansa, and I'm telling her how I was teased as a young girl for my nose.
"I asked in a dinner with David (Benioff) and Dan (Weiss), 'Please, can you put in a line about a pig nose? I was bullied at school, I used to get told I had pig nostrils.' I said, 'For my own demons, it would be sticking two middle fingers up to the bullies of my childhood'," she said.
