Ian McShane doesn't care about spoiling "Game of Thrones"
Ian McShane has some harsh words for "Game of Thrones" fans who feel he's been too free with information about the upcoming season during interviews.
"You say the slightest thing and the Internet goes ape," McShane told the Telegraph. "I was accused of giving the plot away, but I just think get a f**king life. It's only t**s and dragons."
Fans of the show, beware of potential season 6 spoilers below.
At issue are McShane's previous comments about his mysterious, as-yet-unnamed character on the hugely popular fantasy series.
Back in November, he told Pop Goes the News that his character wouldn't be sticking around long. "[It's] a one-off episode," he told the website. "I'm responsible for bringing somebody back that you think you're never going to see again. I'll leave it at that." His comment that easily fed into the already fervent speculation about the fate of Kit Harington's character, Jon Snow.
And if his above comment about the Internet didn't make it clear, he hasn't changed his approach to discussing the show despite its usual cloak of secrecy.
"They asked me if I wanted to do 'Game of Thrones' and I said, 'Sure, I'll be able to see my old pals Charlie Dance and Stephen Dillane,' and they said, 'No, we've killed them off,'" McShane tells the Telegraph in describing how he'd come on board. "I wasn't sure whether I could commit, but then they said it would only be for one episode, so I said, 'So that means I must die at the end of it. Great, I'm in.'"
