New Game Of Thrones Star Claims The Show Is 'Only Tits And Dragons'

New Game Of Thrones Star Claims The Show Is 'Only Tits And Dragons'

POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ian McShane is one of the finest actors of his and any generation but it's not only what he does on the screen that has made him such a legend.

When the news broke that McShane had accepted a role in Game of Thrones season six, fans of the show, and of acting in general, were excited. When McShane is on screen, he can light up any scene.

It was only recently he let slip that his character, a priest, would bring a popular character back to life.

Naturally, fans were angered that he'd allowed a 'spoiler' to come out of his mouth, so anyone who's pissed off with him about that, might not want to read on.

In a really great interview with The Telegraph, McShane poured scorn on Game of Thrones in a way only he could, saying:

"You say the slightest thing and the internet goes ape. I was accused of giving the plot away, but I just think get a fucking life. It's only tits and dragons."

It's only tits and dragons!? It's only tits and dragons!? Mr McShane, come on, man. There's a dwarf and castles and zombies too. He's clearly not read the books.

With that sort of apathy towards the show, you'd think he accepted the role in Game of Thrones because they were giving him a big fat pay-cheque. But it wasn't:

"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 [Tywin Lannister] and Stephen Dillane [Stannis Baratheon]' and they said, 'No, we've killed them off.' 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.'"

And without even a hint of irony, McShane gives another spoiler of sorts.

To be fair to the guy, that's not really giving away much and I still can't fucking wait for season six to start.
