Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's has opened up about a prank he pulled that didn't go down well with the bosses of the HBO fantasy drama series.
The Danish actor, who plays Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones, told Digital Spy about the hilarious stunt he pulled a few years ago that almost got him sued.
"There'd been a lot of talk about Jaime's hair in the early seasons — his long golden locks," Coster-Waldau said. "Once he lost his hand, I thought he should maybe have a haircut. And then I thought, 'Why don't I just pretend?'
"This is five, six seasons ago — I sent them an old picture where I had a buzz cut. I sent a long letter where I explained I'd taken control of my character, and I want to be respected. I said that my integrity as an artist was at stake!"
The actor didn't hear anything back and forgot about the prank. But when he landed in Northern Island to start filming again he received a panicked call from one of the Game of Thrones bosses who had been freaking out behind the scenes.
