- Harry Collett gained stardom with his role as Prince Jaecerys Velaryon in House of the Dragon.
- Collett sat next to boldly dressed Alice Pagani at the Paris Fashion Week, and his on-screen mother Rhaenyra would be proud.
- The Casualty actor was relieved to find out that his character would not be killed off in House of the Dragon Season 2.
TV royalty Harry Collett has been in the industry for almost a decade now. He began his career with roles in West End productions of some of the best-known plays including Matilda the Musical. He also starred in several movies and TV shows before landing the role of Prince Jacaerys Velaryon in House of the Dragon.
Just like most other actors in the show, Collett too is a well-known actor now. Consequently, he is often invited to events where elite celebrities are welcomed with open arms. One such event is the Paris Fashion Week where he was photographed sitting beside Italian actress Alice Pagani. The eye-catching detail about their interaction happened to be the fact that the Casualty actor did not bat an eyelash, even as he sat next to a rather interestingly dressed Pagani.
Harry Collett’s On-screen Mother Rhaenyra Targaryen Would Be Proud of Him for His Nonchalant Reaction to Alice Pagani’s Outfit
Harry Collett made his TV debut in 2014 with a role in an episode of the medical drama show Casualty. Some might remember that in the same year, he played a younger version of singer Michael Bublé in the music video for Bublé and Idina Menzel’s cover of Baby, It’s Cold Outside.
He returned to Casualty for several other episodes and also appeared in other TV shows before making his film debut. This debut was as the voice actor for a younger version of one of the lead characters in the 2016 animated biographical film Ethel & Ernest. Fast forward to now, he is a well-known face in the industry.
Collett attended the Paris Fashion Week for the Saint Laurent Womenswear Spring/Summer 2025 show. He was dressed in a stylish black suit, paired with a white button-up shirt and a black tie. He was sitting right next to Alice Pagani, who was dressed in a sleeveless, sheer gray top with a deep plunging neckline, leaving nothing to the imagination, and a high-waisted, semi-sheer maroon pencil skirt.
While Pagani’s outfit would surely turn heads, Collett seemed to be rather unbothered in a video uploaded on X by a fan. It also led some to jokingly comment that his on-screen mother Rhaenyra would be proud of him.
The Paris Fashion Week has been quite star-studded so far. Supermodel Bella Hadid returned to the runway at the Saint Laurent show after a two-year-long hiatus. Popular singers like Belinda, Anitta, and Camila Cabello also graced the runways for different brands at the Fashion Week.
Harry Collett Assumed His Character Was a Goner in House of the Dragon Season 2
Fans of the Game of Thrones prequel/spin-off would remember that the first season ended with Rhaenyra Targaryen’s son Lucerys Velaryon dying. So, much like most of the fans, Harry Collett was convinced that his character Jaecerys Velaryon (Jace) would also be killed in the finale episode of the second season.
That was until he read the script of the finale episode and realized that Jace would not die after all. While talking to Variety about it, he said:
I did think this would be it for me and Jace. And it’s always that awkward moment of going to the script reading going, ‘Oh, I don’t know if this is the time, and am I gonna have to do this in front of everyone?’ But it got to the point where we read the last episode in the script read, and it was just a surprise.
Collett mentioned this to the showrunner and co-creator Ryan Condal only to find out that if he were to be killed off in an episode, he would be informed before the episode’s table read would happen. The Dolittle actor was quite relieved by this news, as were the fans when they realized that the season would not end with another one of Rhaenyra’s sons dying on a dragon’s back.
