Remember when Gregor “the Mountain” Clegane crushed Oberyn Martell’s head with his bare hands on Game of Thrones? I’m pretty sure you remember. It’s hard to forget. But just in case:

That scene became instantly infamous when it aired back in 2014, and helped launch actor Pedro Pascal to the level of stardom he’s enjoying now. And as he revealed during a roundtable interview with other actors put together by The Hollywood Reporter, for a while he was happy to let fans reenact the scene with him for selfies…until things got a little too real.
“I remember, earlier on, because of ‘Game of Thrones’ and the way my character died…people were super into taking selfies with their thumbs in my eyes,” Pascal said. “At first, I was so earnest and happy about the success of the character in the show, I’d let them! And then I remember getting a bit of an eye infection.”
Let this be a warning to you: don’t let strangers shove their fingers in your eyes. This does not go without saying.
