Game of Thrones vet Kristofer Hivju cast in Cocaine Bear, and more stuff
By Ashley Hurst
As parts of the world slowly begin to open up, we’ve seen plenty of former Game of Thrones stars make the most of traveling again…or just showing off their new style. And while some are enjoying being out and about, others are hard at work on new projects.
For instance, Deadline reports that Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) has been cast in Cocaine Bear. The movie, directed by Elizabeth Banks (Charlie’s Angels, Pitch Perfect) and written by Jimmy Warden, is inspired by the true story of when a bear ate 70 pounds of cocaine back in1985…seriously. In fact, the bear is commonly referred to as “Pablo EscoBear.”
Currently, Hivju’s role is unknown, but we know he’ll be joined by Margo Martindale (The Americans), Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth) and Brooklynn Prince (The Florida Project). While no release date is set, the movie is set to start filming in Ireland later this month!
Maisie Williams rocks some fashion on Instagram
Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) has 10 million followers on Instagram, and brands want in. A partnership with Prada resulted in this image of her high-kicking while holding a Galleria bag that costs all of $2850. I’m also quite impressed at her balancing abilities:

Isaac Hempstead Wright having some fun!
Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark) doesn’t post a ton on social media, but the King of Westeros felt like sharing an image of him partying with sparklers on a river, as is good and proper:
Wright also recently had the honor of unveiling a life-size model of the Iron Throne in London’s Leicester Square. He even got to sit on it, something he never did on the show since the throne was melted by the time Bran became King.
Liam Cunningham and Metropolis
Finally, Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth) posted a picture of himself hanging out with a chunk of the Berlin Wall. This particular section has a picture of the machine from the classic German sci-fi movie Metropolis (1927) on it:
