One of the most iconic Game of Thrones characters ever, who was known to run the very game for quite a while, is Tywin Lannister. Sadly, he got murdered by his own son while on the pot, and we lost him like many others. Charles Dance, who played the role, is a fan favorite, and ranks highly among popularity among fans. In a recent interview with Metro, he talked about how he hates the age of selfies, and how he would love to return to play Tywin for a Game of Thrones prequel. Read on!
Speaking of how big Game of Thrones is, and why he doesn’t like selfies, he said :
“It’s a phenomenon and it’s shown all over the world. You travel a lot in this job, and here I am in Belgium – a whole load of troops came into this hotel I was staying in Brussels before, and they said: “Oh! Game Of Thrones!” ‘I had a selfie with about ten Belgian soldiers. I’ve become the forces sweetheart.
Because of the show’s success and the power of television, it’s much more powerful than film, it doesn’t matter where I go whether it’s here, Spain or Italy, there’s bound to be people who are fans of Game Of Thrones.
‘It’s the age of the selfies so out comes the mobile phone: “Can I have a picture?” Most of the time, yes, and then there are times when I think, “Oh fuck it no, this is so boring.” ‘They pay the wages though, so it’s better to be charming.”
He continued :
“It’s incredibly boring and so predictable. It really is. That’s what people do now [though], so as long as I’m in the right mood. If I’m standing in the checkout at Waitrose and somebody wants a bloody selfie, I’ll politely tell them to fuck off. ‘There are times when you get people who are really offended if you say no, as if it’s obligatory. “What do you mean no, I’m your greatest fan!” Well, that’s very kind of you, I appreciate that, but I’d rather you didn’t take a selfie!”
He also talked about how he would like to return to his role for a Game of Thrones prequel :
“If it was in the same calibre, yes. Because Game Of Thrones really was as good as it gets. It’s a fantastic series. I look back on it fondly. Occasionally you have long days in the cold, the horse doesn’t behave properly, or the armour sticks in the back of your neck, but we’re not down in the mines digging for coal, we’re actors.
We’re pretending for everything, and we’re very lucky to be able to do that.”
