Liam Cunningham, who plays the role of Ser Davos Seaworth on the show is a righteous and moral man on the show and is the only man after Ned Stark who sort of acts as a moral compass for all the characters on the show and for the show as such. Recently, Liam Cunningham spoke about his role in season 6 and about he looks at himself.
The Onion Knight, or that’s how Ser Davos is known as, on the show, said that, “In a strange way, Davos is a quiet hero. This show would be anarchic if you didn’t have people like Davos, and maybe Samwell Tarly, where you have these people doing their best to do the right thing, not just for themselves, but because the right thing is the right thing to do. If you don’t have them in the show, it sort of becomes a free-for-all of who’s going to kill who, whatever it may be”.
On talking about Melisandre and his opinion of the Red Priestess, he says that, “They hate each other, but they’re in the same position. Dramatically, it’s brilliant. It’s absolutely interesting from a dramatic point of view to see where these two characters are going to go. Right now, they’re not in a good place”.
Though there is no denying the fact that there is still scope for things to get much worse between Melisandre and Davos since Melisandre burned Shireen Baratheon who was Stannis’s daughter and Davos’s dearest friend. So Liam has surely indicated that Melisandre will pay for it in the drama but hasn’t really expressed that exactly how is that going to happen.
When prodded about what happens next, he beautifully replied to the question while saying no for an answer. This was his reply, “One of the most beautiful things about this show are the glorious surprises: Ned Stark’s death, Shireen’s death, the Red Wedding of it all. If anybody has the audacity to rob the audience of those moments? That’s beyond mean.”
Another thing Cunningham pointed out during the interview was that show is coming to end soon. Fans everywhere are speculating about what is the end, if at all since nothing has been indicated as of now. But Cunningham said that, “This year, we pushed the limit even more, because we know it’s going to come to an end soon. It has to. You can’t keep up this level of quality, because of the demands and everything — your personal life, your time, all of that. This show is bigger than the lot of us, the sum of its parts. To do justice to the finish of this story is very important, that we can walk away with our heads held high, that we can do no more, that we did as much as we could.”
Liam is good with words, Isn’t he?
The year 2020 has been the Red Wedding for everyone around the world. Looking at the current scenario, stepping out of quarantine seems to be a big risk. People are cautious and suspicious of each other, scared of contamination. Under such dire conditions, normal life sounds like a fantasy. Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner and husband Joe Jonas are trying hard to give their new-born daughter a normal life.
The young couple went out for a walk with their daughter Willa in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Turner was seen in a T-shirt and black leggings, while Jonas was rocking the buzzcut he dyed pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month while. They were pushing Willa in a black baby carriage.
Both the high-profile parents were keeping it low-key and were wearing properly secured black face masks. Since becoming parents in July 2020, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have been focusing more on their baby and less on sharing details of their private life.
Sophie earlier made headlines with an Instagram post, when she brought a prop from Game of Thrones set back home. She welcomed the wooden Throne of Winterfell at her home, which had an intricately carved dire-wolf on it.
Turner and Jonas are trying their best to be good parents for little Willa. Feel free to express your good wishes for their cute family in the comments below!
Every TV show or movie has that one person who lights up the screen on their entrance. Game of Thrones’ Tormund Giantsbane, played by Kristopher Hivju, was one such character who’s loved by fans for his hilarious puns and looks worldwide.
Kristofer Hivju turned in heads on Instagram with a picture of his new look. Fans were shocked to see a beardless Tormund Giantsbane. Hivju had rocked the beard ever since he auditioned for the role. The beard was an essential part of his wildling look.
Earlier this year, Hivju was tested positive for Coronavirus. He has recovered quickly after spending weeks in quarantine with his wife. The Game of Thrones star is participating in the PCS Open, a Professional Disc Golf Association B tournament in Norway. He apparently shaved his beard ahead of the contest.
However, Kristofer has assured his fans that his beard is coming back soon. The head of Brienne of Tarth fan club is well-known for growing a lush beard rather quickly. When he first came to shoot for the show, it took only 4 months and 17 days for him to grow a full-red beard!
