Paul Wesley: 'Vampire Diaries' Actor Admits He Does Not Watch The Hit HBO Series 'Game of Thrones'
It appears that "Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley is not a big fan of the hit HBO TV series "Game of Thrones" or the character Jaime Lannister that actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau portrays. Recently, the 32-year-old actor revealed in an interview that he does not watch the fantasy drama series.
In The Wrap's Drinking With the Stars interview, Paul Wesley was asked to play the "Rapid Fire" game where the actor will be given a name or an object and he will give it either a "Lump of Coal" or "Mistletoe" if he is a fan or he loves the name or object mentioned. Rebecca Rosenberg, social media coordinator of The Wrap, kicked off the challenge with President Obama and Julie Plec.
Paul Wesley gave both of them a mistletoe before explaining that he loves President Obama as well as Julie Plec because she's his boss. When asked what he would give "Game of Thrones" character Jaime Lannister, Paul Wesley paused for a moment before asking who Jaime Lannister is.
The interviewer revealed that the character is from "Game of Thrones" but the TVD star claimed that he does not watch the HBO series. Even though he does not watch the show, Paul Wesley admitted that he still knows something about "Game of Thrones" and wondered if Jaime Lannister is "the little blonde fellow."
After finding out that Jaime Lannister is actor Peter Dinklage's older brother in the TV series, Paul Wesley gave the GoT character a "Lump of Coal" on his "Rapid Fire" challenge. Another object that received a "Lump of Coal" from Paul Wesley was broccoli.
As for the things or persons that he loves, Paul Wesley gave the "Mistletoe" to his co-stars in the CW TV series such as Michael Trevino (Tyler), Candice Accola (Caroline), Nina Dobrev (Elena), Stefan-Caroline or "Steroline" shippers and actress Jennifer Lawrence.
"I like Jennifer Lawrence. I think she's a great actress. I don't think anybody doesn't like her," Wesley explained after giving "The Hunger Games" star a "Mistletoe" during his "Rapid Fire" challenge with The Wrap. Paul Wesley's video interview got shared on the official Facebook page of The Wrap on Tuesday, Dec. 23.
