'Game Of Thrones' Actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Pours Cold Water On Jaime/Brienne Romance Rumours

It doesn't look like the rumoured romance between 'Game of Thrones' characters Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) is going to happen any time soon, despite the love from fans for the two characters.

"I think they have this real affection for each other, and respect, and most importantly, they have real trust," the actor explained whilst talking on Variety's podcast, Remote Controlled. "[But] do they have romantic feelings for each other? I don’t think he’s really capable of [that]. Unless he’s able to completely leave Cersei, I don’t [think] that’s gonna happen. I think he’s a very monogamous man. He’s faithful."

The idea of Jaime forever remaining loyal to Cersei is one that will likely frustrate the viewers. She has for some time now shown to be a volatile and chaotic leader, literally blasting her way to the Iron Throne and becoming a figure of madness following the deaths of all three of her children.

On the other end, hoping Jaime would one day end up with Brienne may be a little selfish on the viewers part. He's a man who pushed a child from a window, almost murdering him, and who forced himself sexually upon his sister while she was grieving next to the corpse of her child. Not somebody you'd want to introduce to the parents!

Whatever the case may be, it's clear that the stories intertwined in the world of 'Thrones' are only going to get messier as time rolls on. With such a small wait now until the seventh season premiere, the twists and turns are quite literally right around the corner.
