Its a tricky one.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When you look back on this season, what will you remember most?
NIKOLAJ COSTER-WALDAU:Weve had some amazing experiences.
The experience of shooting with a live bear was spectacular and unbelievable.

He wouldnt leave his trailer without an applause.
Im not even kidding.
The whole crew had to applaud and go, Yeaaaaaah, Bart!
Come on, Bart!
But I gotta give Bart credit.
He put in a great performance.
And overall, I have to say working with Gwendoline Christie has been such a great experience.
Shes just a brilliant actress, and shes a lot of fun to just hang out with.
So even though they dont have that many laughs together [laughs] wehad a lot of fun.
Do you mind if I just call her?
Let me just do that.
Youre going to conference her in?
Im calling her now.
I have another phone here.
[To Christie on that line] Are you eating?…
Well, can you finish eating for gods sake, you oughta talk to me now.
[Laughs] How is the meal?…
[Laughs] Hang on.
Im just gonna put you on speaker, and then youll both be on speaker.
Hang on a sec.
I dont know how to do this.
Christie says something about him showing off, but we cant quite hear her.
Coster-Waldau:Why isnt this working?
[To Christie] Youre so low.
Could you speak up, for gods sake, woman…. Gwen, someone else is listening.
Be nice to her.
Nikolaj and I were just talking about his favorite Jaime-Brienne moments from the season.
He thought you might have something to contribute.
GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE:I dont have any favorite moments with Nikolaj.
[He laughs.]
Ive read that the two of youenjoyed saying inappropriate things to one another.
Whats the worst thing that one of you said?
I was just chatting gently with David Benioff, [D.B.
Coster-Waldau:[Laughing] Gwen, this is very unfair.
Im doing an interview withEntertainment Weekly, and Im calling here to get a bit of support.
attempt to say something nice.
We were both hoping youd say something nice.
This is your last chance.
Coster-Waldau:Did I?
Christie:He really took care of me and was very brotherly toward me.
Coster-Waldau:No, no, no.
Thank you, but thats boring.
[She laughs] Go back to your dinner.
Weve got to talk tomorrow.
you gotta sharpen up.
Christie continues to talk and he hangs up with a Bye!
[To EW] Could you hear anything she said?
I love that you just did that.
I hope that you understand its all just fun.
But lets go back to the tub scene.
The longer the scene went, the more I wanted it to happen.
You want to just get that dirt off your face.
I guess if hed been on his own, he just would have started washing himself.
But she gets in his face.
So thats one thing.
I have to think now.
Did we have that discussion?
I think we did have a discussion.
I think I did one take where I took my hand up.
That is what instigates the rest of it.
[Laughs]
Where is your prosthetic arm today?
We have quite a few of them, various shapes and forms.
What about the severed hand Jaime was forced to wear around his neck?
I dont have it, but they have it in the studio in Belfast.
There are a few of them around.
Its an eerie thing to see.
It was absolutely disgusting.
That stump they made just looks horrible.
These effects guys are so good, you look at it and you’re free to smell it.
Its so well done.
[Laughs] No, I havent.
I never thought of that.
Its a cats ass!
On that note, my time is up.
Is there anything else youd like to say?
Im sure Gwens gonna hate me forever now.
I have to call her and apologize.
