In 2019, when Alfie Allen, known for his role in Game of Thrones, secured his initial Emmy nomination, numerous enthusiasts couldn’t help but point out that this achievement had disproved Lily Allen’s earlier assertions about him.
In 2007, the artist called out her brother as being idle and unemployed in her song “Alfie.” This upbeat tune advises her brother to quit spending his days sleeping and gaming on the computer, instead urging him to find employment.
Indeed, given his flourishing acting career and having been nominated for both an Emmy and a Tony award, Alfie – the actor known for portraying Theon Greyjoy across all eight seasons of Game of Thrones – seems to have heeded her advice.
However, during a recent interview with TopMob magazine discussing his starring role in Sky’s fast-paced thriller, Atomic, Alfie clarified that his sister’s song was not the inspiration behind his decision to pursue acting as a career.

Inquired if they considered Lily’s song inspiring in any manner, they responded with: “No, not at all. My dream has always been to become an actor.
