AceShowbiz - Jaime Lannister and Brienne are totally in love on "Game of Thrones", according to Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, although their romance may never actually happen on screen. No one could possibly forget the obvious love shared between the two characters during their long trip back in season 3 and they reunited this week.
"There's no question you see that in this scene: There is more between them," Nikolaj tells TVLine, "Clearly, there is something going on between Jaime and Brienne, and clearly it's something they can't act on. Maybe in a very secret moment. But they would never verbalize it."
Nikolaj hopes that Jaime and Brienne's relationship "could get a little further" as their love is basically impossible given the fact that they have pledged their lives to other people.
"It's less to do about their relationship, more about their own personal journey as human beings. Everything they do, they're following someone else's agenda all the time - by choice," he shares, "The whole thing of being honorable, being trustworthy when it comes to the people they love or the people they've promised to protect, they're each other's equal that way."
"In a weird way, someone else's agenda or feelings always come before [Brienne and Jaime's] own. I'm not even sure that they would ever allow themselves to go to that place," he adds.
Given the fact that Jaime and Brienne are fighting for two different sides, if necessary, they would be willing to kill each other. "There's no question that if it comes to that, they'll both do it," says Nikolaj, "And obviously she's going to kill him in an instant."
During the interview, Nikolaj also teases the upcoming two final episodes of "Game of Thrones". "I think the next episode is the biggest they've made, in terms of scale. Production-wise. A lot of stunt guys were working on that episode," he reveals, "And the last episode, it's just, it's... no I can't give you anything. [Laughs] It's a cool ending to season 6."
