Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Gets Real About The 'Absurd' Premise Of 'Game Of Thrones.' It Should Never Have Worked, But It Did
No one can ever truly tell from the very beginning how something like HBO’s "Game of Thrones" is going to land. Looking back, the eight-season run that eventually birthed "House of the Dragon’s" return on the 2024 TV schedule is something to behold. But for actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, it all sounded rather absurd at the time he was about to step into the role of Jaime Lannister.
The actor admitted as much to Deadline, while promoting his latest series: "Optimist’s Guide To The Planet" with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. When it came to his first impression of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novels being adapted for television, the absurdity came out in comparing its unassuming beginnings.
