Jaime sports a new look in Game of Thrones Season 8, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau reveals

Winterfell in “The Winds of Winter”. Season two Jaime promo by Entertainment Weekly.

It is rare for an interview to reveal anything truly concrete about a future season, especially so far from the premiere (not even the right year yet, folks — hang in there!) Still, sometimes something slips through, however small a thing it is. This is one such case: in a new interview about everything but Game of Thrones, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau let us know that Jaime will have a new look next time we see him in season eight.

In a fun little interview, ShortList asked the Danish actor about everything from life to career, and yet this season eight tidbit came in response to a question about his facial hair preferences, given that he’s currently the face of L’Oréal’s new campaign:

“I’m shooting the last season of Thrones,” Coster-Waldau told ShortList. “Generally speaking, I’m not crazy-hairy, but I have a full beard. Call me Hairy Styles.”

Jaime's facial hair situation last time we saw him in "The Dragon and the Wolf"

Jaime was unshaven in “The Dragon and the Wolf”, but he did not have a “full beard”

Last time we saw Jaime, in the season seven finale, his facial hair could be defined as “unshaven” or maybe “too worried about my sister killing everyone to bother shaving.” He didn’t have a beard. Of course, he’s had one before, during his time in captivity in seasons two and three, but he lost it many years ago, along his Prince Charming hairdo, to the disappointment of those of us who prefer Jaime looking a bit … scruffy.

Preferences aside, I’d say this makes perfect sense for the character at this point in the story, just as it did in seasons two and three. At the end of season seven, Jaime left his sister, lover, and queen behind (all three of them the same person, unfortunately,) discarded his Lannister armor, and rode off north as a lone knight in the road. Growing a beard makes thematic sense — and it may also be practical, for the sake of anonymity.

So, which is your favorite look? Long-haired, bearded Jaime or well-groomed Jaime?

Game of Thrones Season Seven Scores Double BAFTA Craft Nominations

The nominations list for this year’s BAFTA Craft awards has been announced, with Game of Thrones scooping two nominations.

Established in 2000 to highlight the technical achievements of those behind the camera, the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Craft awards celebrate the best in television production.

This year Game of Thrones has been nominated for Best Costuming (Michele Clapton) and Best Production Design (Deborah Riley and Rob Cameron).

Thrones has never won a Craft Award before, although Michele Clapton has won twice before for her costuming in The Crown (2012) and The Devil’s Whore (2009). Casting director Nina Gold also picked up a Special Award in 2016 for her work on numerous productions, including Thrones.

There’s some stiff competition, but as production and costuming was pretty on point this season I think we’re in with a good shot!

Bets of luck to everyone involved! You can read the full list of nominations here.
