Game Of Thrones fulfills yet another celebrity's desire for death
[Spoilers for Game Of Thrones season 8 below.]
It’d be easy to miss in a season so desperate to sprint to the end of seven seasons’ worth of storytelling, but Game Of Thrones’ killed off yet another celebrity last night. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, an outspoken fan of the HBO series, has been teasing his cameo for a few weeks now, telling The Dan Patrick Show that, though he couldn’t “confirm nor deny” his appearance, he’d “definitely wanna be killed or in one of the steamy scenes.” Turns out how got to do both, though probably not in the way he envisioned.
As was captured by no shortage of viewers on Twitter last night, Rodgers can be seen diving into a King’s Landing alley to escape the spewing fire of Dany’s rampaging dragon, only to be consumed in a ball of flame. It’s okay if you missed it, though, what with a solid 80% of the episode having been devoted to innocents getting burned alive.
