[@givemetimeandacrayon]

Nik and Gwen being hilarious and talking about man-maids, Isaac being insightful, Iain and Jacob being silly and cute, and then Richard and Liam being full on book nerd theory discusses

[@nont18411]

And Aidan didn't even have a chance to talk

[@freyedattheedges5229]

Gwen Christie laughing cracks me up in a good way, ringtone plez

[@Eshayzbra96]

Nirawit Apparently Aidan isn't too big on interviews because he's socially awkward like the rest of us

[@FlowerTrollSan]

Scarlett C Yeah I especially loved Liam and Richard. They know their stuff.

[@freyedattheedges5229]

Scarlett C I COULD LISTEN TO RICHARD & LIAM ALL DAY AND NOT BE BORED. RICHARD HAS A WONDERFUL RICH ACTING VOICE

[@ris0089]

I love the theory that Varys is a man-made. I think it's great.

[@mathiaspedersen9530]

Ashkan Sam He he saying manmaid though

[@alexivers2630]

He meant man-maid though lol

[@daboodeef179]

CRASTER IS THE TRUE PRINCE THAT WAS PROMISED, THE ONE TRUE KING OF WESTEROS, AND jon snow's true father

[@A_O_Leary]

The dutch for mermaid probably doesn't translate well.

[@babakhanoushii]

Aisling O'Leary Danish*

[@Melanneniel]

I see a Gwen and Nik thumbnail ... I click

[@donlyemanuel]

Melanneniel Her laughing omg😂😂😂😂

[@millenialfragrancenerd94]

Emmanuel Quaintance Same! 😂

[@robertlaurensnrgaard5178]

Nik is the best. I'm glad to be from the same country as him.

[@JackoBanon1]

Nightwatch is a great movie with him, too.

[@zitronentee]

ditto

[@LosInexpertosDelFutbol]

Nik and Gwen 😍😍

[@DaRicanKing8]

Los Inexpertos Del Futbol Gwen is a man.

[@LosInexpertosDelFutbol]

Eazy DuzIT She is a gorgeous woman

[@IV_97]

Speak for yourself...

[@carlasnyman6887]

I ship them in real life too 😍

[@annie-xv3xs]

You mean Gwik?

[@babichickan181]

a man-maid?! my day is complete!!!!

[@0okamino]

Varys is prepared to clean up the place!

[@shubhamdhingra4894]

0okamino In the books they did mention that moved quietly, on several occasions often surprising people coming from their back making no sound but also something about his slippers I guess? So this theory is a no-no.

[@babichickan181]

I don't think its true, just really tickled me!

[@0okamino]

I doubt that he's a merman, but he could still be a man-maid. :D

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

that would explain why he goes from place to place quickly being man-fish

[@gcxlc]

it tickles me that grey worm has seen all the ser jorah memes

[@christianschneider6538]

Beric knows his shit

[@raven_rez1074]

he's like opposite of Jon Snow :D

[@voteZDLR]

the very fact he's so present in press material means he's gonna be a big deal this year. FUCKING A GET HYPEDDDDD! what is it now like 40 hours? till Season 7? xD

[@tzaneee]

well he is dead in the books .so i bet he will get a decent death this season

[@Jake-ur1sq]

Beric is fucking boss

[@lukasbeck4421]

tzane123 but if I'm not wrong he dies in the book because he gives his life to Catelyn Stark to make her Lady Stoneheart. But Lady Stoneheart won't appear in the tv show. So he could survive

[@TheGirlInSneakers]

Gwendoline's laughter is so contagious

[@kdvn1]

ikr her laughing made be laugh

[@ouss8722]

She is "too much". Made me cringe af

[@AKABoondock19]

I think its cute and charming for us not seeing it every day, but I feel like shed get annoying AF after a while to be honest

[@ellystripes]

I thought it was kind of grating. I like her personality though.

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

She gets on my nerves. Poor Nikolaj probably waiting for the bar to open.

[@kamaristorm]

"I think somebody's taken too much marijuana" 😂😂😂

[@zbrooo]

Obvs referring to Gwen :')

[@Link9876ful]

I love Conleth Hill :D

[@thefaithfulljedi4142]

ha!!! fuck this comment killed me

[@Silver_Owl]

They're denying it far too much. Varys is SO a merman.

[@jjay4774]

Silver Owl *manmaid

[@Silver_Owl]

That too. :)

[@mailill]

Joanna *manmade

[@coltonembury71]

I like how mad the actor who plays Varys got at the end... He could just google the theory for 5 minutes and not be such a dick about it

[@Furrina89]

it's definitely a case of 'lady doth protest too much'... he is Ursula in disguise

[@MilkmanConspiracy]

Seeing these guys in normal clothes and Varys with hair is weirdly jarring.

[@777LGF]

I didn't recognize Varys at all, had to go back & read the name overlays! XD

[@artcasperos]

Ikr

[@lilibetp]

It's amazing how handsome he is with hair.

[@j.t.319]

I'm in love with Gwendoline Christies laugh

[@khuzaymahbinshah8515]

Jorah is Lord of the friend zone..,......... not a theory a fact

[@MyKillyy]

Sirkay Shah Ser Jorah is a lady

[@daboodeef179]

CRASTER IS THE TRUE PRINCE THAT WAS PROMISED, THE ONE TRUE KING OF WESTEROS, AND jon snow's true father

[@angryzombie8088]

Jon Snow might be The Prince That Was Promised, but Jorah is definitely The Prince That Was Friendzoned.

[@sabiani2000]

daboodeef179 Craster is the father of the army of the dead... and Gilly is their sister

[@karenqaiser2173]

Jorah could be Dany's Dad, so yes definitely not in the running.

[@tzaneee]

well the actor who plays beric dondarrion knows his facts about GoT

[@nursetobee.]

tzane123 damm right

[@user-ez9ng2rw9c]

Hes the voice in the audiobooks.

[@voidgazer2470]

@@user-ez9ng2rw9c most of the actors are.

[@sexybrunchset8881]

That's why he plays his character so damn well.

[@BeastlyHaxorz]

2:09 seemed really off to me for a moment, and I realized it was because Iain Glen was looking directly into the camera. I've never made eye contact with Jorah Mormont before.

[@oliverhancock5397]

BeastlyHaxorz don't you dare friend zone him...

[@nilayparekh9585]

Oliver Hancock Its okay if he does, Jorahs can take it... He's got quite a thick skin...

[@777LGF]

I was surprised by his actual voice!

[@linwoodvalentine7693]

Earrape

[@imnotmike]

Wow, every video I've seen Gwendoline Christie in has her laughing uncontrollably like a lunatic. That's funny because it's so far off of her character from the show. I bet they have a lot of hysterical laughing bloopers with her. Renly gets his throat slit and dies tragically. Brienne breaks out in uncontrollable laughter!

[@Lunelaya]

Oh gosh I want to see this now 😂

[@anishkasharan9952]

That part with Gwen and Nick where she's trying to Mer-man and Nikolai is all "a what?" - just priceless!

[@Pksoze]

It's kind of cool how Ian Glenn gets (slightly) offended when he hears that theory about Jorah. I like when actors care about their characters.

[@lordmelvin9310]

I freaking love Gwendolyne and Nikolai during these interviews

[@kt1pl2]

When Coster-Waldau does the "on the fins" it makes me laugh. You can see how much fun the two of them have together.

[@karenlee2]

OMG nik and gwen are the best. Man Maid!!!!

[@plantemor]

bran's theory is probably the one that's closest to something real xD

[@emmawhitelaw-mm4mr]

Gwendoline and Nikolaj 💖

[@shyaminator]

aidan gillen was very quiet this whole video lol

[@futurestoryteller]

carol peletier I get what you mean, but I'm pretty sure he was just listening.

[@TheOriginalRevolt]

Because he's sneaking and plotting how to wreak havoc on interviewers worldwide!!!

[@themyster4570]

He's just realised that the theory is the plot of Quantum break and he's having flashbacks

[@faiyazsaqifkhansummit792]

Matthew Marshall lol

[@ericnick4498]

Matthew Marshall lamo hopefully that game gets a sequel.

[@niovanzeist6813]

Gwen's laugh is so adorable

[@adriantorres4431]

Gwen is too too lovely. 😍😍😍

[@Imaginorium114]

0:57 omfg grey worm calling out jorah on his love for dany love it

[@ranica47]

I didn't know who the hell was sitting beside Varys and Sam, had to go back and check again then realised it's Gilly! Damn she looks different and good!

[@orgabrahmabasumatary1061]

ranica47 I was like who's sitting beside Sam and Gilly lol. Didn't recognize Varys with the hair.

[@x_aj_x1157]

seriously Gwen and Nikolaj are hilarious in every interview i've ever seen them in together...

[@FernandesRafael1]

0:27 thats why Jaime likes her so much hahahah

[@ardenvida4598]

THEY TALKED ABOUT THE VARYS/MERMAN THEORY IM CRYINF

[@FlowerTrollSan]

Arden Vida I find it hilarious that even the actors know about it 😂

[@lidis9348]

"Isn't that (Stannis's) sword? no. Idk why but I thought that was hilarious.

[@cuddlycrow198]

Lidi Silva it was hilarious and the way Richard Dormer/Beric & Liam Cunningham/Davos banter is gold!

[@FlowerTrollSan]

Lidi Silva Lmao I know right? 😂 felt like Davos was still loyal to Stannis, and then Beric's like "bitch no, what the fuck you talkin' about?" 😂

[@nursetobee.]

Beric apparently read the books and is the only one how knows stuff xD

[@corinna007]

"Varys is a man-maid." Oh, Nikolaj. You're too cute. XD

[@thelastmethbender]

1:32 littlefinger has lost the will to live

[@kj2532]

Lol he looks depressed as fuck

[@Michelleblinkie12]

Gwendoline is just adorable 😍

[@warriorbard]

0.39 is GOLD! Gwendoline Christie about died laughing. Me too, Gwen; me too!

[@rowni]

Gwen's laugh is so precious 😍

[@undergroundalcoholsi]

Gwen losing it is everything

[@ladyvader2648]

He's a man-maid omgg😂😂😂😂

[@martina-dd6vb]

Killer Queen A MERMAN 😂😂😂

[@Buenomars]

Set in a dystopian future, The Manmaid is now on HULU.

[@zelt36]

I hate you for this

[@MTDfan1]

Baelish is just sitting there, *waiting*

[@kikic4899]

I love how Beric is clearly the only one who is totally, clearly a fan. Somehow that's kind of perfect that he'd be the one to know about Lightbringer

[@ardenvida4598]

PSA: Gwendolyn Christie is an absolute treasure and I would die for her

[@Migler1]

Haha the way Iain Glen cracks up at 0:14

[@StormAbernathy]

Gwendoline is so cute! :3

[@mannylugz5872]

Littlefinger looks like plotting to takeover EW.

[@JohannKao]

Thank you Nikolaj for doing "a wha?" just so we can all enjoy Gwendoline's laugh-murrrrrring twice in a row!

[@WakeUpDead1200]

What is that noise that emits from Gwendoline at the end there?! Haha, love her.

[@voiceappeal]

Lol Littlefingers actor at 1:29 trying to follow Isaac so hard

[@kirsty6005]

Jacob Anderson explaining the * tips fedora * meme to Iain Glen is absolutely hysterical

[@imranhq13]

these people r so handsome and good looking without costume and makeup

[@deltahunter4810]

"I think that someone is taking too much marijuana"

[@gerrymin6298]

aidan is so hot thooo

[@vante2840]

ikr??

[@inprogress7635]

agreed

[@mitch1833]

Who wouldn't love to sit down for a pint with Liam and Ian!?!

[@QartveliMamakaci2000]

I ship gwen and nikolaj

[@MrzPicatu]

Gwens laugh is the best

[@MetroVerse]

Littlefinger hasn't said a word. He just sits there and observes everyone and everything.

[@alcofribasnasier1838]

Ian Glenn looks and sounds so different. Terrific actor.

[@skolsilk]

Littlefinger schemin in real life lol

[@namelessenigma]

MANMAID i love nikolaj

[@annie10103]

Greyworm's actor is fucking hilarious.

[@piggyoinkoink6352]

Varys is bald and sneaky and lurks in the sewers he is most definitely a Ninja Turtle

[@elena9.7.77]

The rest of the women in these interviews: haha :3 Gwendoline Christie: HAHAHAHAHAH >:,D I love her

[@HeHeeHeeheHe]

That smirk you have when hear someone with a contagious laughter and you try not to laugh.

[@rupkathabanerjee5461]

1:28 I love the idea of a cyclical paradox

[@TheDeadlySaint6396]

My favorite theory is that Bran is going to kill Cersei. He was able to warg into Hodor. He then learns to warg into the mountain and through him kills het

[@setton8]

Hm, what about the prophecy that says she's supposed to be killed by one of her brothers?

[@Pksoze]

Technically by a little brother...and I guess Bran is a little brother...so that's a tricky way of GRRM of fulfilling the prophecy.

[@bobmarley7744]

Headphones Girl by a younger brother not her brother.. and also fuck prophecy it doesn't all have to come true

[@StopReadingMyNameOrElse]

Deadly Saint Nah Jamie will 100% kill her. She'll be threatened with loss, all armies surrounding her, so she'll nuke Kings Landing like Aerys tried to. He'll kill her to save everyone, just like he did before, but he'll probably die in the fire as well.

[@Sunnyhillsfinest]

Lord-Commander Savage you are right sir, as the prophecy goes even though they are twins Jamie is born after Cersei which technically makes him the youger brother and we saw his reaction when she became queen

[@SwahiliSpicE]

that M-E-E-E-E-E-R M-A-A-A-A-A-A-N had me lol-ing for long enough! 😂

[@queenthoria7483]

Gwen's laugh is crazy. I love it!

[@justbreathe_]

I love how Iain Glen laughs. Jacob Anderson is so funny.

[@Zach-ud4mq]

The theory that Bran mentioned about the Three-Eyed Raven and himself - pretty badass!

[@Tallimme]

Beric has his GoT knowledge game ON POINT!

[@Mastershaley]

Gwen's laugh 😍😂

[@LegionOfEclaires]

Her laugh... Contagious. :)

[@adoboflakes8473]

Bran just blew Littlefingers mind he couldn't even speak lol

[@no_one_lol]

“manmaid” im fuckin dead 😂😂

[@holycarnid845]

Gwen's laughing outburst thing at the end is hilarious

[@tarjapeletier2314]

[@TheIJP123]

"man-maid" im fucking dead lmao

[@bathrat]

[@lothariobazaroff3333]

"Varys. Just Add Water" I've got a special power...

[@katbeckman4679]

1:21 aidan gillen having quantum break flashbacks

[@shannon8040]

I need the full uncut version of Nik and Gwen's interview

[@xmynationalanthemx]

Nik literally messed up saying "merman" to make Gwen laugh. Lmao.

[@madinp1177]

Gwendoline Christie's laugh just cured my acne, raised my grades and gave me 20/20 vision.

[@777LoveStory]

I like how Isaac doesn't talk about the bigger theory that Bran's the Night King. Cheeky!

[@maukka1545]

Jorah is not Jorah in real life. Damn he is good at acting serious.

[@shreyasdixit5600]
