Game of Thrones season 8: Jaime Lannister star’s finale warning

Thought you had Game of Thrones sussed? Think again, because Jaime Lannister star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has assured you won’t see this finale coming.

Game of Thrones has officially wrapped up filming and, naturally, the cast and crew are giving absolutely nothing away, except for Nikolaj, who has dropped a few little hints about the final episode, which we are absolutely not ready for at all.

‘I read it, and I wrote Dan (Weiss) and David (Benioff) and said I don’t think they could have done a better job,’ he told The Wrap.

‘I mean, when I read it — I’ve spent so many years working on this and been guessing and trying to figure out how this will end — and when I read it, some of the parts of it I’d get, and other parts of it were just completely shocking and surprising.

‘And it wasn’t, there were none of those horrible — you know shows where it’s a murder mystery and at the very last minute you find out it doesn’t make sense? But here all the pieces fit into this massive jigsaw puzzle.’

Nikolaj also dug deeper into the, let’s call it complicated, relationship between Jaime and his sister, lover and now mother of his unborn child, Cersei (played by Lena Headey).

‘It didn’t make sense. They have a future, potentially another shot at having a child, and she’s willing to risk everything for something to him that just doesn’t make sense,’ he added.
