During a recent trip to Manhattan, Ewan Mitchell, known for his role as Aemond Targaryen in "House of the Dragon," was surprised to be recognized by a hotel doorman who asked about his missing eye patch. Mitchell, not accustomed to fame, is adjusting to strangers making connections with his character in public. Despite not regularly wearing an eye patch, he is now associated with the one-eyed, dragon-riding warrior he portrays on screen. Mitchell, aged 27, reflected on his newfound visibility, attributing it to his "strong chin." On this particular day in May, he was dressed in a black Alexander McQueen suit, enjoying a Coke at a hotel bar before attending the premiere of the show's second season. As Mitchell navigates his growing recognition, fans eagerly anticipate the latest developments in HBO's hit series, a prequel to "Game of Thrones."
