Nikolaj Coster-Waldau recites heartfelt poem about Game of Thrones and soccer
What are the stars of Game of Thrones doing now that they’re through shooting the most popular series in the history of the world? Let’s see.
First up, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) waxes poetic about soccer, comparing the passion and competitiveness of the sport’s fans and teams to the conflicts of Game of Thrones. “The things I do for love,” he muses. “Game of Thrones and Leeds [United Soccer Club] have more in common than you’d know. Drama, intrigue, love and loss, battle for the throne.”

And a “King in the North” reference. And wait, did the whole thing rhyme?
Find someone who speaks as passionately about you the way Nikolaj Coster-Waldau talks about soccer and never let them go.
From son to father, Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) will be narrating a docu-drama for Netflix, titled Rise of Empires: Ottoman, according to Deadline. Here’s a preview…without Dance’s narration. Use your imagination:
The show — which was originally called Ottoman Rising — was filmed in Turkey. It’s a six-part series that will tell the “epic 15th-century story of Mehmed II, known as Mehmed the Conqueror, chronicling his astonishing and fabled rise from 13-year-old Child Sultan to toppling Constantinople and becoming the ruler of the Ottoman Empire.”
Rise of Empires: Ottoman hits Netflix on January 24.
Sticking with the Lannisters, Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) was spotted at the premiere of HBO’s The Outsider, serving comfortable fashion:

That’s HBO’s President of Programming Casey Bloys with her.
The Outsider is an adaptation of Stephen King’s book of the same name. It follows the fallout of the arrest of a popular midwestern teacher for the rape, mutilation, and killing of an 11-year-old boy. But was he set up? Find out when the show debuts this Sunday on HBO.
