Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – who plays Cersei Lannister’s twin brother Jaime on the HBO series – has revealed that there was one scene in particular that was too ‘cruel’ for him to bear.
Coster-Waldau further explains that the “shocking moments” are what have made Game of Thrones so successful.
Some of the most appalling Game of Thrones scenes have included the rape of Cersei Lannister by her twin Jaime, when Daenerys Targaryen consumes a horse heart and King Robert Baratheon’s babies are slaughtered.
