Game of Thrones Nikolaj Coster-Waldau used Jaime Lannister fake hand to store fruit

Jaime Lannister’s miracle hand may have caused one of the biggest upsets in Game of Thrones season 8, but Nikolaj Coster-Waldau made good use of that gold prosthetic limb.

Way back in season three Jaime found himself a million miles away from the luxuries of King’s Landing, being held prisoner by hunter Locke (played by Noah Taylor) who was trying to offer up the Kingslayer to the Bolton fam.

After Jaime managed to persuade Locke’s men not to rape Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie), who was simultaneously serving as both his captor and his guard, Locke plunged a blade into his fighting arm, which was subsequently removed.

Naturally, Jaime had a gold-plated limb installed because he’s extra AF, but the prop literally became the hand that fed Nikolaj and Cersei Lannister star Lena Headey as the pair used it to store their dried fruit. Genius.

Posting a behind-the-scenes picture of his arm – from what was presumably Jaime and Cersei’s final scenes together – the Danish-born actor wrote to Lena: ‘I finally got our “fruity hand of Queen” into Production. Should be on Amazon anytime now.’

With the Game of Thrones prequel kicking off filming this week, could another spin-off be in the works?

Should Jaime’s hand set off for bigger adventures, it’s unlikely Nikolaj will be involved as he’s just landed his first TV gig since the Game of Thrones finale, teaming up with the Lannister’s sworn enemy, The High Sparrow actor Jonathan Pryce, for FX pilot, Gone Hollywood.

As for Lena, like the rest of us, she’s still reeling over Cersei’s lacklustre death.

Game of Thrones seasons one to eight are available to stream on NOW TV.
