Thats why, he says, I will talk like Marlon Brando.
I have to ask: Who forgot about that coffee cup during filming?
So they are suspects as well.
They were extras in the scene?Yes.
If you look closely, they are playing Wildlings.
I think we know who it was, then.
A lot of fans were disappointed that Brienne chose Jaime over Tormund.
And Jaime and Brienne have a long story together.
So on some level, I can understand her.
I thought it was lust, but then Tormund was sobbing and saying hes in love with her.
Yes, hes in love.
No doubt about that.
Brienne has been mocked all her life because shes tall, because shes a warrior, because shes different.
And I didnt want there to be any irony in that.
For him, shes perfect because in the North, women should be the warriors, you know?
Thats a value in the North to be strong and tall and skillful with the sword.
So even though its been a joke, Tormunds love has always been real.
I didnt actually need to cry in it, but I thought that I should take his emotion seriously.
The giant horn has become Tormunds trademark.
What are you really drinking in those scenes?
So its real giants milk.
In that feast scene, Tormund is definitely the guy who gets the party started.
Who is the Tormund of the cast?
Thats so funny because Davos is so sincere and so serious.
Its hard to imagine him breaking characterLiam Cunningham, hes an adventure in himself.
I read that you filmed some scenes during the Battle of Winterfell where Tormund died.Thats just bullshit.
Thats never been true, and its never been said, and its never been a fact.
you’ve got the option to write that.
you’re able to counter whoever wrote it.
it’s possible for you to counter-news it.
The cast and crew have talked a lot about the brutal filming for the Battle of Winterfell.
You guys were awake every night for weeks and weeks.
What did you do to stay sane through all of that?Im very easily pumped up.
I can go from sleeping condition to berserk mode in a split-second.
You just put the sword in my hand and Im activated.
Miguel Sapochnik, the director, he was a great general on this shoot.
He kept us going with his mission and he took care of us.
Have they cut lines from previous seasons that you really wanted?
Did Tormund have, like, a whole wedding and we missed it?No, no, no.
[But] we havent changed anything.
Its just beautifully written.
Of course theres been improvisation, but its not necessarily with words.
Of all of theGame of Thronescharacters who have died, who did you miss filming with the most?
Youve seen a lot of people go.I miss Rose [Leslie], who played Ygritte.
Wedid the lake together, you know?
And we started a band called the Brotherhood Without Banjos.
Rory McCann plays the guitar, right?
Ive seen the video of the two of you singing together.Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The lake was just a big music festival.
How do you handle that behind the scenes, as friends?
[But] Im talking about previous seasons now!
Its not very emotional, Poor you.
Its more like, Yeah, Valar Morghulis.
All men must die.
I hope Ill die late.
I love following you onInstagrambecause of your behind-the-scenes videos of silly things on set.
What was that feast scene really like?
You guys finally got to let loose on camera.
Everybodys drunk and playing drinking games.I must admit, we became very silly.
Even though were not drinking alcohol, when you pretend youre drinking alcohol, the sense memory kicks in.
When we were cheering, everyone was trying to throw wine at Kit.
That was the running joke, so he had a horrible day.
Did you get him?Yeah, many times.
He was soaking wet.
We had a lot of fun during that scene.
Its like being pulled back in strings for eight years, and suddenly youre allowed to go crazy.
So we dont know if were gonna see Tormund again, or Ghost either.
What can you tell us about the next two episodes?Its gonna be spectacular.
Its gonna be great.
Thats a terrible answer![Laughs.]
No, I cant tell you anything.
This is HBO property.
Its insured by HBO.
If you touch it, you have to pay HBO.
So that trademark is now going away.
Its growing new hairs, and now I am starting to re-own my own beard.
That must be weird.If I want to take a scissor and cut it, I can do it.
Its still there, I can tell you that.
But if the right part comes along, my loyalty to my beard is not staying.
Are you backing Jon because youre good friends with Kit?
But it has to be a safe home.
I wont tell you whats gonna happen, but thats his priority because its not his war.
Well, I hope he ends up very happy with a lovely Northern woman.What?
