Peter Dinklage has revealed he helped Jamie Dornan get achieve his saucy best, after the Game of Thrones actor helped his compadre rehearse sexy scenes ahead of Fifty Shades.
The two actors starred in My Dinner With Hervé together while Jamie was still doing re-shoots as bondage-loving Christian Grey for Fifty Shades Freed.
(We’ll give you a minute to compose yourself from the mental image you’ve no doubt conjured with the mention of Jamie as Christian.)
Now you’re back, who better to help out with learning his lines than Tyrion Lannister himself, eh?
While we’re sure there was no red room in trailer rehearsals, we’d pay good money to see Peter playing Anastasia Steele.
‘I read some of the screenplay, though, in our dressing room,’ Peter, 49, said during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert this week. ‘I went in, he had to do some re-shoots for Fifty Shades and I would help him out learning lines.’
What a great mate!
Giving himself a little pat on the back for the performance, he added: ‘I would read the Dakota Johnson parts. I was just helping a friend learn lines. I nailed it. I really did.’
Still, even though he was able to deep dive into the script, so to speak, Peter isn’t about to sign up as a fan of the whole sexy series.
In fact, he has a pretty hardcore (again, so to speak) theory about the fans of the ‘mummy-porn’ tales.
When Colbert compared GoT lovers and their similarly loyal Fifty Shades fans, Peter was quick to rebut his idea of putting the followers in the same boat.
‘I think Game of Thrones fans would take issue with comparing the two because Game of Thrones fans are very specific and lovely,’ he said. ‘Fifty Shades fans have issues. It’s all suppressed issues, I think.’
Speaking about GoT and what is in store for the final chapter of the TV series and his character Tyrion, Peter teased the death of his beloved character.
‘I feel very, very — I’m trying to find the right word,’ he said to Vulture. ‘I think he was given a very good conclusion. No matter what that is — death can be a great way out.’
Peter added that his final scenes were emotional, if not in order, as the cast showed up to say their own farewells to the character.
‘It’s always anticlimactic for the character’s last day. Nothing is shot chronologically, so you don’t get some big mountaintop scene or anything. It’s just, “That’s a wrap on Peter Dinklage”,’ he said.
‘But as anticlimactic as it was, my last day was also beautifully bittersweet. A lot of people whom I love were on set that day. Even if they weren’t working, they came to set, which was beautiful.’
