Game of Thrones: HBO Nordic’s Q&A with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
The International Game of Thrones Exhibition was open at Kungsträdgården (Swedish for King’s Garden), in Stockholm, Sweden. The exhibit was held from March 7th-11th, and as part of the whole experience, Jaime Lannister himself (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), held a fan Q&A with HBO Nordic as part of the network’s coverage of the exhibition.
Watch the video, and see a cryptic spoiler from NCW, after the jump.
Question 1: If you got to play another role, which role would it be?
Answer: Hodor
You’ve got to love the playful smile and the “It’s not hard to learn your lines” bit. Also Dragons…then of course he just says “It’s really Jaime that I like” and he gives us that trademark smile.
Question 2: Which scene has been the most demanding. Physically and/or mentally?
Answer: Season 1 with Ned Stark.
Also, Season 3 being beaten up by a lot of guys in the mud…a lot of mud.
Question 3: Did you like you character better when he became more sympathetic, or was it more fun to be evil?
Answer: “I never thought of him as good or evil…I think he’s been more or less consistent.”
There’s that wolfish smile again. “The core of Jaime is what he says in Episode 1, which is ‘The things I do for love’ and I think he is motivated by the love of his family.”
Question 4: If you could decide. In which House in the Seven Kingdoms would you prefer to be in if it wasn’t the Lannisters?
Answer: The Martells.
“The Dornish have a good life down there…nice, nice place to live. A little crazy, the Dornish, but they have fun.” Perfect answer. I wonder if he means all the free lovemaking a man or woman could ask for?
And then it happens. Nikolaj brings out the duck, and says that it’s a spoiler for book readers. Here it is in GIF form. If you are a book reader and know the answer to the spoiler, then please properly mark your spoilers in the comments below. We wouldn’t want our Unsullied to become accidentally Sullied.
Oh NCW, you sly…duck, you. Honestly, I have all sorts of ideas swirling around my brain, but I won’t get into them here. Let’s take this conversation to the comments section, where we can keep it as spoiler free as possible.
