Richie has a daughter who’s about 10; Moss-Bachrach has two teenage daughters with his wife, the Ukrainian photographer Yelena Yemchuk. “Not to toot my own horn, but that is common ground for me and Richie, a devotion to our children,” he says. In “Forks”, Richie learns to love Taylor Swift because his daughter’s a dedicated Swiftie. Has he ever met the superstar? “No, never. She sounds lovely. Those friendship bracelets her fans wear are very cute.” That’s all he says on the matter of Swift – and he’s not keen to talk about her potential impact on the US election, either, or a certain Republican hopeful. “I don’t really like to talk about him,” he says. He does add, though, that the idea of Americans emigrating to avoid Trump doesn’t make sense to him. “With the irresponsible climate policies all around the world, there’s nowhere you can really go. Leaving the country is sort of like sticking a finger in a faulty dam.” [Read the full interview here](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoYjf8P0R-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvYXJ0cy1lbnRlcnRhaW5tZW50L3R2L2ZlYXR1cmVzL2Vib24tbW9zcy1iYWNocmFjaC10aGUtYmVhci1yaWNoaWUtYjI1NzAwMzMuaHRtbD9saWQ9NTA3NjQ0MmpweWFoVwVzcGNldUIKZnT8sn9mc_tr9lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj)   ~/AAAHagA~/RgRoYjf8P0Q8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvc3Vic2NyaWJlL2FwcD9saWQ9NHc5YWl4YWU4dTJxVwVzcGNldUIKZnT8sn9mc_tr9lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj ~/AAAHagA~/RgRoYjf8P0Q9aHR0cHM6Ly9pbmRlcGVuZGVudC5vbmVsaW5rLm1lL25vNXgvZDI1ZTc0Y2M_bGlkPTRuODZ3c3hmeWFsZlcFc3BjZXVCCmZ0_LJ_ZnP7a_ZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~   [INDYBEST](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoYjf8P0Q-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0P2xpZD1hMnRpMTc5b2t6ajlXBXNwY2V1QgpmdPyyf2Zz-2v2Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) / [BEST BUYS](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoYjf8P0Q-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0P2xpZD14a3ZjYmc1NWg1dGNXBXNwY2V1QgpmdPyyf2Zz-2v2Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) [House of Dragons](~/AAAHagA~/RgRoYjf8P0STaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0L2dhZGdldHMtdGVjaC90ZWxldmlzaW9uL2hvdXNlLW9mLXRoZS1kcmFnb24tc2Vhc29uLTItdWstd2hlcmUtdG8td2F0Y2gtYjI1NjM4MTUuaHRtbD9saWQ9eTdtZmlvbWJtaWN0VwVzcGNldUIKZnT8sn9mc_tr9lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj) The new season of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, is now available to stream.
