Episode 4, “The Last of the Starks”, began with the living laying the dead to rest one final time. We saw respects being paid to some of our favourite characters – Ser Jorah Mormont, Lady Lyanna Mormont, Edd, Beric Dondarrion.
Iain Glen, the actor who plays the character of Ser Jorah was cast in the pilot episode and stayed on till the last season. During these seasons he went through a lot – betraying Dany, saving her, helping her, fighting Greyscale, and surviving capture by the slavers. He breathed his last fighting for his queen, someone he loved with all his heart and soul.
Among all the other deaths, the moment of Jorah’s death was probably the most heart-wrenching because of the sort of mourning he received from Daenerys. As a character, Dany has been stoic and mostly unmoving even during major deaths of people in her life. This could be because her sole goal has been the Iron Throne. But with Ser Jorah she lost her confidante, her most trusted friend, someone who stayed with her since her very first day with the Dothrakis. Which is probably why we saw her bowing down close to him and whispering something before finally lighting the pyre.
EW spoke to Iain about this scene and he had some interesting things to say. In this scene neither actor wore microphones. In this scene, as per the makers, ““Daenerys whispers something to him that he’ll never hear and we’ll never know…”. So, Emilia Clarke who plays Dany was left to write something intimate and warm that only she would know and Jorah would never hear. But Iain Glen did.
Since the viewers are to never know whatever it was, Iain obviously did not tell EW the exact words. But when asked “Did Clarke say something sincere? Was it in character? Was it funny?”, Glen said, “It’s something entirely sincere and true to the moment and something that I’ll never forget”. He also added, “I’ll always cherish it because it’s something no one will ever know but the two of us. And that’s a memory to hold onto.”
Now that is certainly something to hold on to, isn’t it?
Very often we see real life is different from reel life. An actor might be struggling in real life despite being popular on-screen. Game of Thrones’ Jason Momoa is one of the many big names to appear on Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi fantasy Dune. Even though the actor is excited about the movie, he won’t be watching it right after its release. The reason might sound strange to many, but it is as adorable as it gets.
Jason Momoa has often described himself as a family man, far from all the characters he has played on screen. The 41-year-old actor talked to Men’s Health about various topics like his life with family and workout routine. He revealed some interesting facts about his personal life, like how he’s not even the King of his house. Also, his son gets worried each time he sees Momoa in an action scene.
Momoa said, “My son just loses it… ‘Papa, are you okay?’ And I’m like, ‘Son, I’m sitting right next to you. We’re good. This was two years ago. Just watch the movie.’”
No wonder his step-daughter Zoe Kravitz calls him Papa Bear. Momoa is really loving and caring towards his family. He recently revealed in another interview how his family was struggling after Game of Thrones.

The past few weeks were really exciting for Game of Thrones fans all around the world. The viewers were on the edge ever since HBO announced the making of Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon. People were already casting for their favourite characters in their heads, with rumours flying everywhere. First, HBO added to the hype by announcing the release date for the series, i.e. 2022. Then casting of Paddy Considine as King Viserys caused a huge stir, breaking the internet. Now, the network has got the audience crazy by announcing major key roles and finalizing directors for the show. They’re leaving no stone unturned, casting some of the biggest names in the television entertainment business. Matt Smith is one of them.
In a recent interview with GalaxyCon, Matt acted coy trying not to reveal much information. However, he couldn’t hide his excitement. He said, “Without saying too much…I’m looking forward to riding a few dragons…if I get to. I mean, I don’t know. Who knows?”
Matt Smith will play the Rogue Prince Daemon Targaryen. Smith is famous for being the eleventh incarnation of Doctor Who, and playing an important role in The Crown. Smith will also star in Marvel’s much-awaited movie Morbius. Therefore, it’s no surprise why fans are so excited about seeing him in the Game of Thrones Universe.

Daenerys Targaryen’s story began as a young, oppressed banished princess. Her rise to the sky as the Dragon Queen, Mother of the Dragons is an incredible story arc of Game of Thrones. Daenerys was initially known far and wide not just for her dragons, but for her kind nature. She was affectionately called Mhysa (mother) by the many slaves she freed, hence earning the title Breaker of Chains. Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys on Game of Thrones, is brave and kind in real life as well. She has often helped co-stars (like Nathalie Emmanuel) on set.
Great British Bake Off contestant Laura Adlington was blown away when Emilia Clarke slid into her DMs. Appearing on spin-off show Bake Off: Extra Slice, Laura told host Jo Brand, “Emilia Clarke, Mother of Dragons from Game of Thrones, sent me a message.”
“[She] just said, “Laura, me and my friends love you. Thanks for brightening up our lockdown. We hope you win. I think she called me a “baking queen”. So my life is now complete, quite frankly. Friends with Matt Lucas and Emilia Clarke. Doesn’t get better than that, does it?”
Laura made it to the final round of the Channel 4 competition. Even though she was narrowly beaten by winner Peter Sawkins, getting a compliment from Emilia is a big achievement.
