Nikolaj Coster-Waldau: 'Game of Thrones' Actor Denied Access At Filming Set In Spain, Guards Ask Danish Actor To Show Entrance Ticket
Some of the scenes for "Game of Thrones" Season 5 have been set to be filmed at the Alcázar Palace in Seville, Spain. GoT cast member Nikolaj Coster-Waldau reportedly experienced a hitch when the guards denied him access to the filming location of the hit HBO TV series.
According to an Inquistr report, the guards at the palace complex did not recognize Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who portrays "Game of Thrones" character Jaime Lannister, when he arrived for shooting. The guards stopped the 44-year-old Danish actor and asked him to show his entrance ticket.
Instead of getting upset or making a scene with his celebrity status, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau gave a classy response to the situation. The "Game of Thrones" star headed back to the palace's ticket office, bought one which is worth €9.50 ($12.00) and presented the ticket to the guards at the palace complex so he can proceed to work.
An unnamed staff member shared to The Local report that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau did not say anything when he got barred and when he purchased a ticket in order to enter the premises. The report further noted down that what happened proves that the Lannister's always pays their debts and even entrance fees.
The filming of "Game of Thrones" Season 5 has the security team guarding some of the palace's sections to prevent the tourists from catching a glimpse or taking photos of the new scenes for the upcoming new season of the HBO TV series. Even though the tourists will have no choice but to put up with the inconveniences at the palace, Seville mayor Juan Ignacio Zoido assured that everything will be worth it.
"We will have to endure some inconvenience, taking into account the possible generation of jobs and the impact on tourism that this will have," the mayor stated. The Inquistr report claimed that the Spanish palace will be the setting for the Dornish scenes in "Game of Thrones" Season 5 and Jaime Lannister will be there even though the character never visited Dorne in the book series.
"Game of Thrones" is scheduled to return with season 5 in 2015 on HBO.
