Actor Isaac Hempstead Wright has spoken about what it’s like to grow up on such an X-rated show as Game Of Thrones, as we approach the final hurdle of the series.
The actor, 20, who plays the Three-Eyed Raven in the HBO show sauntered into Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, looking quite smug at knowing the fate of Bran and the Night King.
However, while we’re all quite obsessed with what comes of the Stark kid, the actor revealed when he started on the show as a bright-eyed 10-year-old his mother sat him down for the sex talk.
Seems a little early, right?
That would be because in the very first episode of the first series little Bran stumbled across Cersei and Jaime Lannister having sex at Winterfell. Yeah, you remember.
It was then that Jaime pushed Bran out the window, paralysing the young lad and putting him in a wheelchair for life.
Telling Jimmy about the prep, Isaac said this week: ‘I was pretty much told what was going on but it meant my mum had to give me the sex talk a little earlier.
‘And with some topics that aren’t covered in general sex talks.’
As Jimmy joked: ‘When a brother and sister love each other very much’, Isaac laughed: ‘Don’t act on it!’
Elsewhere in the chat, Jimmy was going wild over the idea Bran was indeed the Night King but the actor threw a few spanners into the works as he spoke about what was to come this season to the host.
Speaking about whether or not Bran ‘holds the key’ to the rest of the series and the answering of many of our questions, Isaac said: ‘I don’t know. I think he’s the Three-Eyed Raven who is definitely on the side of the living.’
Interesting…
But he could ‘neither confirm nor deny’ he was the Night King, adding: ‘Who says the Night King’s dead?’
At the end of the first episode of GOT on Sunday night Bran and Jaime came face to face for the first time since that fateful scene in the beginning, with the young lad burning a hole in Jaime with an ice-cold stare.
‘I’m getting good at this intense stare but it’s aided by the fact I’m completely blind when I’m on set. I don’t have my glasses and I don’t have contact lenses,’ he laughed.
‘I remember doing one scene in season seven with Sophie Turner and she said “you’re staring into my soul”, I said, “I can’t see you, that’s why”.’
Game of Thrones season eight episode two arrives this Sunday EST on HBO and will be simulcast on Sky Atlantic. Seasons one to seven are available to stream on NOW TV.
