'Paddy was quite territorial.'
But while many of the cast members might have hoped to snap a selfie or two on the Iron Throne during shooting, actor Paddy Considine, who plays King Viserys Targaryen, was very protective of the famous throne.at the show's LA premiere earlier this week, several of the show's stars joked that Considine was"possessive" of the throne.“Paddy was so possessive,” said Eve Best, who plays Princess Rhaenys Velaryon in the show.
Several other cast members confirmed that Considine was so committed to his role as ruler of Westeros that he kept his castmates away from the throne between shots. "It was like it was his," said Steve Toussaint, who plays Rhaenys' husband Lord Corlys Velaryon."At one point I said to him — because my character has a throne too, but it's nowhere near like that — I said, 'You can sit on mine if I can sit on —' and he was like, 'Nah.'", whose character Lady Alicent Hightower becomes the Queen, wasn't allowed a quick sit down on the Iron Throne.
"As soon as I saw the Iron Throne in rehearsals I ran straight up to it and plonked my ass on it. But on set, Paddy was quite territorial, so when he wasn't looking I'd do a quick [sit]," Cooke said, explaining that Considine was literally scolding his castmates."It was just an aura, just a feeling that you got like, 'OK, maybe don't go up.'"
An Iron Throne pop-up was installed at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, which finally allowed for some cast members, such as Best, to perch on the Iron Throne, but some were thwarted by Considine yet again. Toussaint was one of those.
