That's Jaime fooking Lannister
Phocking
Fooking his sister

Finger in the bum
You are godamn right!
"What age is Nikolai Coster-Waldau's wife? She's Fourty *visible confusion, sweating internally* EIGHT"
Lmao
He probably had to do a quick internal calculation of "will she kill me more if I tell the truth or lie?"
Trilink2 me AF lol
I'm only 26, and already sometimes I forget my age when I'm put on the spot and asked. I imagine the older you get, the less important birthdays are, the easier it is to forget your age or your significant other's age when you're put on the spot 🤔
@@BabeDollB It's funny because I agree. I used to think it was weird how people didn't know how old they were but the older I get, the more forgetful I am about. I think besides the birthdays thing, age is so related to what year you're in at school so you basically always know as everyone around you is also the same age. Time goes by seemingly a lot more slowly too.
I always laugh at the "I once did a French movie.. By accident."
How many times did you watched this video? 🤔

" Why isn't Jaime Lannister king? "
" 'Cause he slays them. "
THAT was the correct answer, Nikolaj!
Well, he could become king, and then perform some harakiri to maintain his title as kingslayer.
I gave you your 1000th like
(cuz he dead maybe?)
IronFist best comment lol
I was expecting an answer more like, "Because after he gutted the Mad King like a fish and sat down in the Iron Throne, Jaime decided that kinging was too much of a headache. So Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark walked in and Jaime stood up and asked, 'Does anybody want this?'" :-D
Such a relief seeing both hands.
But Dany broke you...
@@dresdendiary2037 was about to tell Dany about this but then remembered that she's dead.
His ability to speak English will never fail to blow my mind. Literally can speak a language that is NOT his mother tongue better than most people who do speak it as their mother tongue.
Mr Chains HAHAHAHAH
4000th like 😅
I met him in person last Friday 17 July at airport CDG. Even under a mask, I recognized him.
Forgot his real name, I asked if he played Jaime Lannister, he confirmed and nodded.
Cool guy. We did a selfie both under surgical mask.
Jealous

This is what i need

Not only he acknowledged it, he claimed he was the first one to mention it.
In the earlier seasons, he really did look like a European Josh Holloway though

he understands jaime’s character so well...it’s really great. it’s clear that he doesn’t just act the lines given to him, he actually cares about the story and the character.

Yes Lord.
What?? Is Bran the king is not satisfying enough for you? (trolololo)
Bro GOT ran out of its budget by the time season 8 rolled around and they did the best they could do and the ending was good but some character arcs needed to be completed however Jaimes ark was completed in my opinion by doing the right thing in the end
@@andrewmcalexander1131 bruh I'm pretty sure HBO offered them up to like season 10 or something and they turned it down. It definitely wasn't about budget. As far as the finale, most of what happened would've honestly been fine if it had been set up properly. It was just very rushed.

48 ? So he was 40 when he started GOT and looked like in his mid to late 20s 🤔🤔
The beard and his short hair make him look oooold
Still a legend
Season 3 or 4 jaime lannister is 40
He was 38. There were 8 seasons but two years in between breaks ;)
@J G still respectful to be accurate.
“what happens to jaime lannister” his entire character arc gets destroyed in the shittiest final season ever
Aubrey X Right??? Such a betrayal to the evolution and development of so many characters... the writers betrayed us and them!!!!!!!!
Why? He helped the army of the living defeat the army of the dead, he kept his word. He then tried to save his sister and his unborn child and died. Quite a noble deed and a noble death
I don't know how his character was destroyed...man People nowadays 😂
bRiCkArYs
Im literally going to copy and paste my comment and reply to everyone here because you are all super wrong and its vital that i inform you of such lmfao.
4:50 sounds like Nikolaj understands his character better than the writers ever did
Hello gorgeous
Thanks for the utmost love and moral support🤗
He was the only one who never treated tyrion like a monster
I guess you mean only lannister. Coz many non-lannisters treat tyrion with respect
Oberyn hates Lannisters, but doesn't despise Tyrion
It's not real you know
How bout Shae
@@vipr1142 and we're computer simulations living in a virtual world that feels real
Nikolaj in GoT: flawless English accent
Nikolaj in real life: mostly American accent
Nikolaj: is Danish
Me: wow
he also adopts a british accent in british interviews for some reason. or at least used to. pretty rare for someone to be able to seemlessly use different accents for the same language depending on where they are.
hm it sounds a bit danglish to me
I can hear the Danish...it’s cool!
Because the dude is awersome!
That’s a danish accent if I’ve ever heard one
I really thought this man was british. like as an american, that was the most believable english accent i've ever heard
Hello gorgeous 🌹
Thanks for the utmost love and moral support🤗
The way how he spoke German made me scream. It was the cutest thing ever.
I love you, Nikolaj.💛
aber echt haha
He is a 10/10. Both looks and personality.
Money, beauty, virility, personality, a job he loves...
that 'yes' @1:36 is charming hahaha :)
Laura Perez Diez mmmmm yes, he seems soooo alpha!
Underwood95 I agree
But he is the Kingslayer...
He's aged like fine wine. So handsome!
Hahaha but he is 48 he has not aged yet :-) just kidding i see ur point
Fact
No joke!
Its normal for men. Women age like milk and men age like wine.
+ThinderClyde That’s utter nonsense that men try to convince themselves of for whatever reason. People who take care of themselves age well. Those who don’t, don’t.
“Who is Nicholaj Coster-Waldau?” “Well that’s an existential question!” Absolutely hilarious!
His German is very good love it
I wish he would’ve talked more
This is probably the most amount of times he's said his full name aloud in a short span of time.
Didn't even seem real eventually
Thanks to that now I know how to pronounce his name hahah
Kogan his and his character on GOT too hahaha
Salman Al Faruq right! That’s what I was thinking too! Haha
I need a compilation of this
How do you pronounce Nikolaj?
Charles Boyle: "Neekolaj"
I thought I was the only one tempted to write a B99 reference! THANK YOU! 😭
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!!! I HEARD IT IN BOYLE'S VOICE IN MY HEAD EVERY DANG TIME I SAW IT. Now I know it is the i sound at the end, and not j.
YASSSSS GO 99

@@laucortes6813 yeah...😂

@@dtmt502 hey maannn stop generalizing lol
His English accent in Thrones really is fantastic.
It really is. I find it really fascinating when a guy like him has such a convincing accent on screen but still speaks with a slightly broken accent off screen - don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with having an accent, but it's just weird that some people can turn it off is all :)
Poor Mads Mikkelsen :P
Is it really?
It really is
True. Carice Van Houten (Melisandre) is very impressive too.
It's actually very noticeable that he's not English to a native, but it#s easy to get used to his voice
I love it when he answers questions about Jamie Lannister he starts acting more like Jamie, which I love
Who else wanted Nikolaj to play as Joel in TLOU HBO Series? He would’ve nailed it....
Married for 22 years :D . I love that fact!
That was my favorite fact! I actually had to pause the video and look her up - was surprised she's in show business too. Such a rarity these days in general, no less for two people in the biz.
Who is she?
@@kajalarsen7063 good question
That is actually sad.
Even non showbiz people have trouble being married so long

“Rob Stark captured Jamie…somehow.” 😂 I never realized they never explained that one. How did a young pup like Rob catch THEE Jamie Lannister?
LOVE how he’s genuinely answering the questions like in an interview unlike other celebs who think this is a joke and say “google it” multiple times
Yeah, those are pretty bad. But even worse if that person belittles the people who search these things.
Ainars Tomsons is that a personal attack?
Radcliffe was fun too. And even better.

He threw that first question card just like he threw Bran Stark.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

💀💀💀
I loved him in G.O.T and love him even more now😩 and the fact that he talking about himself in third person is hilarious
This guy should have been Joel in HBO's The Last of Us.
I think it would’ve been an entirely different series with him as Joel… I love Pedro too, but to me it seems that Nikolaj would have been a better cast.
"What is Destiny 2?"
"It's a video game, a sequel to Destiny"
...
svelle They forgot to mention that peter Dinklage played a role in Destiny
mrrichovic whoever googled that probably meant peter Dinklage lol
Bruh
@L. Mucha Hmm I don't think Cade sounds anything like Nikolaj
Oh I get it! It’s cuz he looks like Devrim Kay!
I just felt in love with Nikolaj
And I'm a middle aged married man, with 2 children
Ahahahahaha
Yeah he has 'KEANU VIBE'
What a coincidence, so is he! You already have so much in common!
How one could not fall in love with such a hot, brilliant guy? He's irresistible 😍💕
the power he has
you have no idea how much i need this man to play joel in a last of us live action
“Jamie gets captured by Robb stark...... somehow”
I had to stop watching the interview at the middle so I could keep being straight. Not sure if it worked, that's a handsome man.
You probably always had tendencies. ;)
@@diliff Well, Nikolaj surely didn't help to keep them suppressed. LOL. But I'm sure you know a lot about homosexual tendencies. Just playing with you sweetheart.
lmao. Well done
@@linedpaper5374 true
@@linedpaper5374 The 'gender' you might be referring is 'bisexual'
can we focus on the fact that he played in a french movie when he didnt even speak french??? so talented!!
rehab as à french, i love how he says : non, en français ! when he talks about the director
Ron Pearlman did the same, in the City of the lost children.
Stranger stuff has happened over the years in movies... like Harrison Ford fixing George Lucas’ door when Lucas was in preproduction for Star Wars. He got called over to help test screenings by reading the other lines offscreen. Then got the part that made his career...
He was the only one who showed up and he was attractive.
@@mikereger1186 And to be honest, Ford as Han Solo made Star wars what it was too.
Well not entirely. 33% maybe. 33% him, 33% Mark Hamill, 33% Darth Vader ;).
I stg if he ain’t casted as Joel in HBO’s The Last of Us
Well he wasn’t but they cast Pedro Pascal whom was also in game of thrones as Oberyn
Loved Jaimie, probably top three favorite characters in the show
that's JAIME fooking LANNISTER !
Pooking
Don't fooking say it...
Lmao i just imagined Connor mcgreggor saying that😂😂
You're nothing without your daddy!
that's azora ahai
The fact that he wanted both his parents names is the sweetest thing
I've been thinking about this and yes I concur.
I was just thinking this! He’s so cute 🥺
Hello gorgeous 🌹
Thanks for the utmost love and moral support🤗
"Clearly these are questions I wrote myself" okay good one
When he said “Nikolai Coster Waldau” with that danish accent…
I felt it😩
Er vi enige
George R. R. Martin: "Oh you haven't read the books have you? Alright we'll see about that...Jaime...Lannister"
the script for the movie was already enough i guess =D
well i don't think George R. R Martin expects Jaime Lannister to read anything more than a scroll.
San Otaku I see what you did there clever.
LOL he is the Azora Ahai
George R.R. Martin is gonna kill in him in the books 😬😬
Nikolaj seems like a down to earth , charismatic and funny individual, I hope he gets more recognition as he plays Jamie fantastically
would legit love to see him play some less redeemed characters or some very toned down dudes. He graces a screen very well but I want to see variety out of him because I bet he has it in him to manage it.
He was also in MAMA as the uncle I think (and the dad as they were twins)
A • at least that didn’t bang in Mama
Watch Shot Caller (2017)
Him and Michelle Fairely are a class comic act together I honestly would pay to see them just talk about a topic
Why is no one mentioning how honest and down to earth he is 😂
I was 100% convinced Dr Doom in the MCU needed to be played by Christoph Waltz but now that I know Nicolaj is Danish I would be totally happy with him.
First episode- I HATE HIM I WANNA KILL HIM
Latest episode (s7e7)- yayy go Jaime!
me too lol
Everyone's mood
He's gonna die lol
Season 8 ep 2 trailer “Jamie runnnnnnn!” Lol
Actually I liked him more earlier , when he told the story about killing the mad king to Brienne . He did it for the people , family and not for himself . Yet people called him kingslayer for saving them . And he knows how that feels when Tyrion was locked up for the crimes he didnt do and set him free .
does nikolaj coster-waldau know how to ride?
uhh brienne?
Yes. lol
Brienne 100% does the riding in this ship
@@ReikoKyata It's split.
I've shipped them since his capture 😂
Well you'll have to watch the show to find out

Mr black who retires when they’re 48 lol
I love when he says
*Well you're gonna have to watch season eight to find out*
It's funny. I love his personality and how he just throws the paper board(whatever it is)
I’m pretty unhappy they couldn’t cast him as Joel Miller for The Last of Us series. He has been a dead-on pick for me since playing the game.
Why tho ? Pedro is an amazing actor with a 20 + year experience, worked in the biggest franchises and can pull of a Joel without any doubts. There’s also the make up department to give him more of characterization
He’s literally such an attractive person. Both in looks and personality
True!
Fact 😅
I met Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in Seville during my Erasmus 4 years ago and one thing I really liked about this actor is that he doesn't take himself too seriously and enjoys talking to GOT fans :) It was a nice experience!
That's probably because he is Danish. We always make fun of ourselves, with irony and all that ;)
And....he is gorgeous😝
@@ARTSIEBECCA Well maybe but I don't care about his gorgeousness and that doesn't make him a better or worse actor/person 😉
He appears quite a lot on Danish radio and tv of course, and he always just comes across as the most decent down-to-earth dude in the world. He's very likable.
1+ 7 pro?
“How do you pronounce Nikolaj Coster-Waldau…”
Me: Daddy
“In the name of the warrior I charge you to be brave. In the name of the father I charge you to be just. In the name of the mother I charge you to defend the innocent. Arise Brienne of Tarth. A knight of the seven kingdoms.” - His best line to me.
Charles boyle: its pronounced ni-ko-laj
THANK GOD, there is at least someone!
I heard his exact voice 💀
I was searching for that😂😂
Omg
Nih ko lajh 😂
The voice he does when he says "you're gonna have to watch to find out" kills me

He sounded a bit like Jeremy Clarkson on those lol
I never watched Game of Thrones but I am watching videos with Nikolaj because, well, look at him
7:46 I think that question was intended for Ed Skrein and Michael Huisman, who both played Daario Naharis.
No some people were confused between seasons when he got a hair cut

smooth ...
Refers existential philosophy twice.
Multilingual.
Equestrian.
The proportion of suave intelligence to raw sexiness is just.. arousing..perfect..
Apparently he is THE prince charming after all
I condone the use of the word suave in your sentance, and in the reference to prince Charming, so here, you can have my approval :)
EVERYONE in scandinavia is Multilingual though. Like just getting through school you are granted those skills. So that's hardly.. a perk really? But it's neit to be able to speak multiple languages, for sure. But it's not something we'd view as extraordinary.

@@BennyDACHO we sound awesome when we speak any language, thank you very much
Even though it was somewhat short, I loved Nikolaj as Gary Gordon in BHD...such a great actor

Gotta love how he casually says "Noah broke my rib"
Just another day at the office I guess...
He's my dad's age and I'm crushing on him I'm MESSED UP
