The comparison between Kermit's new girlfriend Denise the Pig to Natalie Dormer may not be an accident at all as the "Game of Thrones" star admits to probably being the one behind it.

Instead of being shunned by the comparisons owing to the fact that actress Natalie Dormer was bullied about her "pig nose" as a child, she embraced it.

When asked about the comparison and resemblance of Denise the Pig from "The Muppets," the actress stated that she's used to it.

"When I saw Kermit's new girlfriend, I was like 'Maybe I'm a bit responsible for that," Dormer said to the crowd at the New York Comic con, according to the report by USA Today.

"I've already made the comparison of my nostrils to a pig, so I can't complain [about Denise]," the actress added.

Additionally, she also asked the GOT writers to incorporate the "pig nose" stint into the script of an episode in the show's third season.

"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," Dormer said, as reported by Entertainment Weekly. "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. If you watch the DVDs, you'll see me oinking backstage...I brought up the pig subject myself."

Finn Jones who was also in attendance at the con with Dormer as well as Keisha Castle-Hughes, who plays Obara Sand, defended his on-screen sister.

"I think everyone would agree that is one of the best looking females in the world. F--- you, bullies," Jones said, according to the report by Huffington Post/

As for her character's fate in the highly anticipated fantasy television series, we saw Margaery and Loras sentenced to the black cells and looking grimy and dirty. To which the actors both say that it was "liberating."

Dormer told EW that being covered in dirt and not caring about her appearance made her "focus on acting" as actresses tend to cope to the "pressure to be dolled-up all the time."

As for the plot for season 6, Dormer, Jones and Castle-Hughes were hesitant to share it. However, they were free to speculate the plot while avoiding spoilers.

Dormer refused to answer a fan's question about Cersei's (played by Lena Headey) walk of shame but instead explained why Margaery is a "threat" to the Queen Regent.se

According to Variety, Dormer said of Margaery and Cersei for season 6: "They've got new problems, those women... The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

As for Castle-Hughes, she confirmed that Obara will be back in the next season. Jones hinted that Loras "should be worried" as he is not in safe territory.
