If it’s the beginning of spring, then it’s only a few months to Comic Con season. With so many competing events all over the world, the larger scale ones are already announcing their high profile guests. And it doesn’t get much more high profile than the stars of Game of Thrones.
Yesterday, the Middle East Comic Con, which is the largest of its kind the region, announced their slate of guests, via Variety. The Dubai based event will have the usual mix of WWE walking action figure humans, a former Firefly star, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from Game of Thrones. What a perfect opportunity to explain why it’s ok for a white dude to play an Egyptian god to a semi local audience!
I should not be so hard on Coster-Waldau. (It’s not his fault. The producers offered him the part.) Besides, he’s a sensitive guy. In talking about the upcoming season of Game of Thrones recently to Red Bulletin (which is in Danish, so here’s the English report on it via the New Zealand Herald), he was asked if there was any scenes either in earlier seasons, or in the upcoming one, that were the worst to film. Apparently the answer is “quite a few,” especially when it comes to incest with his twin sister Cersei, played by Lena Headey. Apparently he squirms when it’s time for “kissing scenes.” And he’s not alone in that either. They both do.
“Lena Headey is brilliant as Cersei… We know each other so well now that it feels weird every time when we have to do a kissing scene. So as soon as they yell cut we make faces of disgust, not seriously. But it does feel a bit wrong.”
That “a bit wrong” will follow them into Season 6, as the trailer already revealed that twin on twin action is on the docket. And with their matching haircuts, it’s a pretty sure bet that the “having sex with themselves” factor will induce quite a bit of squirming. Let’s just hope this time it isn’t in front of their child’s dead body in the middle of the Sept. Myrcella deserves better.
