Aidan Gillen has had his say on the ending of Game of Thrones

And if anyone knows how this is all going to play out, it’s Littlefinger

Aidan Gillen, the man who plays the always on-the-ball Littlefinger in Game of Thrones, has weighed in on how he reckons the show is going to end.

We’re going to assume that you are up to date with the show if you’ve clicked on this post, but if you aren’t, get out of here now.

Now.

One of the most commonly asked questions about the ending of the show is “Who is going to sit on the Iron Throne when everything is said and done?”

And speaking to The Sun this weekend, Gillen reckons that the answer to this question is not a straightforward one.

He said: “I don’t think that is going to be how it ends.

“I would like to think that at their finest moments, the creators of the show have managed to pull off things that are shocking and surprising and fantastic and heartbreaking, so I would like to think somewhere along those lines is where we are left.

“It’s got to be surprising.”

Recently, the odds were released by Paddy Power on the favourites are to sit on the Iron Throne, and Littlefinger himself, Petyr Baelish, was a mere 33/1 to sit on the Iron Throne when the show ends.

An odd price for a dead man, you’d have to say.

But in a show like Game of Thrones, anything can happen.
