Game of Thrones stars pal around Belfast, while Dean-Charles Chapman gets a new gig
By Dan Selcke
We’re in the final days of filming on Game of Thrones, and every glimpse of the cast members hanging out together could be our last. Does that justify snapping photos of Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) and Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) eating lunch together, even when Harington looks right into the lens like he’s challenging the photographer to put the camera down? We’re not sure, but it happened:
This photo was taken yesterday, meaning that plenty of cast members are still hanging around Belfast even after what looked like a rager of a wrap party went down this past weekend. Are they still filming material? The nearby King’s Landing set is still operational, after all. Or maybe they’re just spending time together now that they know time is running out.
In any case, they’re not the only ones still in Belfast. Both Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) posted the below picture of themselves on their respective Instagram accounts. They’re wearing tee-shirts from War Child, an organization that designs and sells a range of products to support their work protecting children affected by war.
Obviously, that’s a serious topic, but it’s always fun to see these two together, even if Coster-Waldau is cheating a bit to even the odds:
Also, if that’s not the way you steer your ship, the internet is on it:
Isaac Hempstead Wright also shot himself sporting the War Child tee-shirt:

In news about former cast members, Flickering Myth reports that Dean-Charles Chapman, known to Game of Thrones fans as the ill-fated Tommen Baratheon, is going to play the ill-fated Thomas of Lancaster in The King, a Netflix movie based on the Shakespeare plays Henry the IV and Henry V.
In real life, Thomas of Lancaster participated in multiple rebellions before being sentenced to death for treason. Naturally, he wasn’t granted the right to speak in his own defense, nor was anyone allowed to speak for him, which is harsh; Even Littlefinger got to beg for a second. So he’s a much bolder man than Tommen, but still, it looks like Chapman is doubling down on the medieval roles.
Finally, here’s a video of Kristofer Hivju (Kristofer Hivju) riding a skateboard and pushing a shopping cart.
You’re welcome.
