Game Of Thrones actor Iain Glen has teased romance could be on the agenda between Jorah and Daenerys in season eight.
The 57-year-old actor plays Ser Jorah Mormont in HBO’s fantasy phenomena, who managed to win over Daenerys’ trust once again in season seven after being outed as a spy and banished from her close circle.
Jorah’s clear feelings for Daenerys however hit an awkward stumbling block after the Mother Of Dragons shacked up with Jon Snow – but does that mean Jorah has cancelled his hopes for romance in the final eighth season?
Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Iain said: ‘In some ways, if you’ve loved deep down it’s never entirely… things can make you feel in spite of yourself.
‘I think he’s very happy to be back inside her good favour and that’s more important to him than a physical relationship if it’s one or the other.
‘I think he feels loved by her and I think he feels forgiven by her. That is what feels most important I think.
‘He was working for two seasons just to try and get that, and finally I think he felt like he achieved that – there’s a friendship there which is always there to begin with. So that’s been recovered and deepened I suppose.
‘But that being said, things can happen which could rekindle or change and affect. That maybe part of what’s to come, or it may not be.’
Could Jorah potentially cause a division in the Daenerys and Jon Snow alliance? We’ll have to wait and see.
Iain Glen is also starring in new film Dusty And Me, which follows a young man (Luke Newberry) who finds unlikely companionship in a runaway greyhound.
Set in 1970s Yorkshire, Glen was drawn to the role through the comedic script which is a far cry from Game Of Thrones, playing dog keeper Mickey.
‘It was a lovely script,’ Iain said. ‘It just made me giggle. It’s a comedy set up north and most of the roles are quite comedic within. Certainly mine is the most comedic in some ways.
‘I play a very vain man who has one of the most appalling toupees that’s ever met the silver screen, but he fancies himself.’
There were precautions in place to deal with potentially troublesome mutts, having a number of back-up dogs ready and waiting.
‘I think there’s two or three dogs and they behaved variously throughout,’ Iain said. ‘When one was misbehaving it was just put back in its trailer and one was produced.
‘The various dogs had different qualities. I could be talking bollocks but I think this is right: There were ones who were good for racing, ones who were good for close-up doggy looks, and ones who were good at hitting their mark.’
Dusty & Me will be released in selected UK cinemas on 28 September and digital download on 1 October.
