Jennifer Garner is getting in a workout on set!

The 52-year-old actress filmed a boxing scene for season two of her Apple TV+ series The Last Thing He Told Me at a park near the beach on Thursday afternoon (November 14) in Los Angeles.

For her time on set, Jennifer sported an all black workout outfit.

Apple TV+ renewed The Last Thing He Told Me for a second season back in March. Season one of the show follows Hannah (Garner), a woman who must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) in order to find the truth about why her husband (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) has mysteriously disappeared.

The first season was based on Laura Dave‘s book by the same name, and season two will follow a sequel novel, also written by Laura, set to be released next year.

Last month, it was announced that one of Jennifer‘s...

This past Sunday, the Toronto Raptors faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Crypto.com Arena in L.A. It makes sense that stars and celebrities from nearby Hollywood occasionally show up to take in a basketball game, and maybe the Lakers are used to that kind of thing. But coming as he does from Canada, the North in real life, Raptors guard Rj Barrett was caught by surprise when he saw none other than Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) in the stands.

The moment is captured on film. Barrett makes a tricky shot, turns to the audience, spots Coster-Waldau sitting courtside, pauses, points, says "Game of Thrones?" and then gets back to business:

Raptors star Rj Barrett spotted Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) at the Lakers game...

Let's be honest: not every "Game of Thrones" episode is a winner. Sure, the show's first four seasons are basically unimpeachable — and I think a strong argument can be made that, in the aftermath of a particularly bleak fifth entry, season 6 is actually really good — but the drop-off in quality when you get into the show's (frequently derided) later seasons is quite apparent, resulting in some really rough episodes. So, which ones are the absolute worst of the worst?

Because I can't nominate "all of season 7 and 8" for this dubious honor, I made some tough decisions and chose the five absolute crappiest "Game of Thrones" episodes, though there were some contenders I couldn't include here. Basically anything involving the Dorne plotline could have qualified, or anything involving the faceless assassin school in Braavos that beats the spirit out of Maisie Williams' Arya Stark. But installments like "No One" or "Mother's...

Westeros is filled with lousy fathers: Robert Baratheon, Balon Greyjoy, and the Wilding Craster who sells his sons (born from daughters he rapes) to the White Walkers. Worst of all, though, is Tywin Lannister (played by Charles Dance in the "Game of Thrones" TV adaptation). He treats none of his three children well; Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei (Lena Headey), the visage of a perfect knight and queen but without the hearts of them, are vessels for the glory of House Lannister, no more. Tywin is so incapable of understanding the twins have wills of their own that he would not believe their terrible, incestuous secret when he heard it from Cersei's own mouth.

If Tywin at least prizes his two eldest children, he has only scorn for his youngest, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage). Tyrion had the misfortune of being born a dwarf while his mother Joanna passed in childbirth. His...

The Last Thing He Told Me, Apple TV+’s hit television series, is returning for season two and we’ve learned more about the cast list!

Season one of the show follows Hannah (Jennifer Garner), a woman who must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) in order to find the truth about why her husband (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) has mysteriously disappeared.

Season one was based on Laura Dave‘s book by the same name, and season two will follow a sequel novel, also written by Laura, set to be released next year.

We’ve learned of 4 stars who will be returning for the second season, plus a new addition to the cast!

Keep reading to find out which season 1 stars are returning for season 2…...

The Story: After causing a deadly accident while driving drunk, a family man (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is sent to a maximum security penitentiary. There, he’s recruited by the Aryan Brotherhood, and coerced into acts of violence that threaten to erase any trace of the man he once was.

The Players: Starring: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Omari Hardwick, Lake Bell, Jon Bernthal, Emory Cohen & Jeffrey Donovan. Written and directed by Ric Roman Waugh.

The History: Shot Caller was released with very little fanfare last summer. A low-key VOD release from Saban, which nonetheless received some pretty good reviews when it played the festival circuit, it forms a loose trilogy for director Ric Roman Waugh, following his earlier Felon and Snitch. Originally a Relativity production, that company’s bankruptcy sent the finished film into a tailspin, hence the limited release. Given how VOD numbers are rarely revealed, it’s impossible to know how the film did financially,...

Judy Greer and Jennifer Garner are reuniting!

We just learned that Judy will be joining the cast of Jennifer‘s hit Apple TV+ drama The Last Thing He Told Me. Jennifer and Judy go way back, and memorably co-starred in 2004′s 13 Going on 30. They’ve remained friends ever since!

Deadline is reporting that Judy will be a recurring character in season two, but it’s unclear who she will portray. Season one focused on Jennifer‘s character Hannah Hall and her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice), who dig deep to discover what happened to Hannah’s husband, (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), after he disappeared without a trace.

The Last Thing He Told Me was renewed for a second season earlier this year, and three other stars are set to return for the new episodes.

Exclusive: Judy Greer (White House Plumbers) is joining season 2 of The Last Thing He Told Me, the sequel to the Apple series from Josh Singer, bestselling author Laura Dave, executive producers Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter, and star/EP Jennifer Garner.

Greer will recur in an undisclosed role alongside Garner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Angourie Rice and David Morse, who are set to reprise their roles for season two. The second season of the series will expand as Dave’s sequel to her bestselling novel “The Last Thing He Told Me” that’s set for publication in 2025, ahead of the premiere of season two.

The Last Thing He Told Me is a dramatic thriller that follows Hannah Hall (Garner), a woman who must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter Bailey (Rice) in order to find the truth about why her husband has mysteriously disappeared. The complete first season of the 2023 series is now streaming on Apple.

When it comes to epic storytelling, few series have sparked as much debate as Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. One popular YouTuber dove deep into what went wrong with the final season of Thrones, suggesting it missed a golden opportunity for a major showdown.

Jerome Flynn acted as one of the most adored characters on HBO’s hit series, Game of Thrones, which spanned nearly a decade before airing its final season. Flynn was a class act before notching a role on the fantasy series which was based on the novels written by the legendary George R. R. Martin.

Before taking a break from Hollywood during the 2000s, Flynn acted in a couple of great projects like To Kill a Priest, A Summer Story, and Edward II, all released during the 80s and 90s. Got was one of his first major projects after his decade-long hiatus.

When the dust finally settles on the fantasy phenomenon known as "Game of Thrones" and fans are able to look back without being clouded by emotion (along the lines of what's been happening recently with the 20th anniversary of "Lost" and its ongoing reappraisal), time may prove to be quite kind to the groundbreaking HBO series -- controversies and all. Some of those controversies have become an inextricable part of how we discuss and analyze the epic undertaking, like its iffy approach to depictions of sexual violence or the various ways the adaptation strayed from author George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. Others fall into a different and more nuanced category entirely, one that's worth dissecting even all these years later. In that light, a particularly odd scene from over a decade ago might be worth a second look.

No, we're not talking about Daenerys...

The 2024 Global Citizen Festival took place Saturday in New York’s Central Park, and in addition to performances by Post Malone, Jelly Roll, Doja Cat, and Blackpink’s Lisa, the concert featured a surprise acoustic set by Ed Sheeran and Coldplay’s Chris Martin.

Actor and YouTuber Prajakta Koli recently had an exciting meet-up with Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, best known for playing Ser Jaime Lannister in the iconic series. Sharing the moment with her followers, Prajakta posted a picture and video of the encounter on Instagram and YouTube.

In the photo, the two sat together, smiling at the camera. Prajakta wore a casual black T-shirt and denim, while Nikolaj sported a navy blue sweater and beige pants. The actor added a lighthearted caption, tagging Nikolaj and using a relieved face emoji.

The video captured their playful banter, with Nikolaj joking about a helicopter constantly hovering due to Prajakta’s fame. She responded humorously, saying, “Ya, it’s a tough life being this famous.” They also discussed environmental issues, blending humor with a more serious topic.

In 2019, George R.R. Martin watched, along with the rest of the world, as "Game of Thrones" ended not with a bang but with a whimper. According to the author, who penned the source material "A Song of Ice and Fire," he could have physically appeared in the final season if he'd wanted to ... but he declined the offer when it came from showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.

"David and Dan invited me to a cameo in one of the final episodes, which I was tempted to do," Martin told Entertainment Weekly back in February of 2019, before the series finally concluded. "But I didn't think just for the sake of a cameo I could take the time to return to Belfast." Martin lives in New Mexico full time, and to be fair to the author, that's a really long trek to make just for a short appearance. There's also the...

There had been speculations that Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey avoided each other on the set of Game of Thrones due to post-breakup issues. Portraying Bronn and Cersei Lannister, respectively, both actors didn’t have much screen time together, which further intensified the rumors.

It’s been five years since the HBO show wrapped up, and while Cersei did not have a great fortune at the end of the series, Bronn miraculously survived and became Lord of Highgarden and the Reach and Master of Coin.

Jerome Flynn Debunked Rumors About His Ugly Split From Lena Headey

During 2019’s Con of Thrones event, Jerome Flynn told fans that he actually shared a scene with Lena Headey and advised them not to believe what they read and see on the Internet. “Like I said, [the media] can get pretty desperate for stories,” he remarked. He also...

For years now, rumors have swirled that two "Game of Thrones" stars — Lena Headey, who played Cersei Lannister, and Jerome Flynn, who played Bronn — wouldn't appear together on-screen after a terrible breakup in real life. So is it true?

It's not, according to Flynn himself. During a 2019 appearance at Con of Thrones in Nashville, Flynn addressed the rumors and said that, contrary to what he'd heard, the two were on fine terms. "We were actually in the same scene together, and the last time I saw Lena we were speaking, so I wouldn't believe everything you read, and like I said, [the media] can get pretty desperate for stories," Flynn said before praising Headey: "Lena is a wonderful person and a wonderful actress. I think the world of her."

So why did these rumors surface in the first place? During the season 7 finale of "Game of Thrones," titled "The Dragon and the Wolf,...

The final season of Game of Thrones divided the fans on nearly every plot decision, and even today, the myriad of debates continue over certain scenes. The show featured many powerful female characters but they seldom got along, so the creators always had interesting dynamics to explore between them.

As the show had already overtaken the novels, many viewers complained about how it lost its touch and authenticity, the clever dialog, and the impeccable build-up scenes. Naturally, the writers were criticized for most of their creative decisions, including the exchange between Daenerys Targaryen and Sansa Stark.

Charles Dance gave an excellent performance as Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones. A long-time stage actor and film veteran, he always exhibits dedication to his craft and even goes to extreme lengths to effectively portray the characters he plays on screen.

There’s a reason why he has been cast for the antagonistic role in the hit HBO show. Such a character needed someone who could embody the position of a royal patriarch that is both highly complex and domineering at the same time.

On the hit show Game of Thrones, Missandei and Daenerys Targaryen were pretty tight on-screen, there is no doubt about that, but little did fans know that Emilia Clarke and Nathalie Emmanuel took their friendship to a whole new level off-camera. On a set often dominated by male actors, the two actresses quickly became inseparable, forming a close bond that extended beyond the show.

So much so that Emilia Clarke didn’t hesitate to have Nathalie Emmanuel’s back, stepping in as a loyal friend during an unpleasant situation when an extra made an insulting comment about Emmanuel’s on-screen attire.

Game of Thrones became one of the most-watched shows on television during its run on HBO. However, the series was also notorious for its explicit scenes that might make some viewers uncomfortable. The trend has continued with the spin-off/prequel series House of the Dragon, featuring similarly explicit moments between characters.

During an interview, Emilia Clarke refused to watch the spin-off series, sharing a simple reason for distancing herself from it. However, Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau took things further by not allowing his family to watch the hit fantasy-drama series. Given the show’s explicit nature, the actor’s sentiments are understandable, and here is what he had to say.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Revealed Why His Family Isn’t Allowed to Watch Game of Thrones

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau played the role of Jaime Lannister...

In a world of kings and men, Cersei Lannister made herself the most powerful and ruthless of them all. But crafting such a character – as villainous in her desires as fraught with wretched misfortune – only an actor like Lena Headey could have pulled off an irredeemable arc as the one she portrayed in Game of Thrones.

However, when it comes to appreciating the fictional queen, Headey would be the first in line to say she is in awe of her. After all, only a fierce character like hers would refuse to be subdued by the humiliation of the Walk of Shame and instead blow up the entire Sept full of fanatics (and the young queen trying to take her place) as revenge.

Marvel’s announcement that Robert Downey Jr. will be playing the role of Doctor Doom has come with a lot of backlash. While a majority of the fans are glad that he has made his way back into the franchise, fans cannot help but be upset about the role he has come back in. The news has caused outrage among fans for one very big reason; Doom’s character has been let down by the studio time and time again.

With the past live-action attempts being abysmal at best, fans are not happy to see yet another actor in the role who simply does not fit their image. Recently, fans have begun to discuss the history the franchise has with the character, and it does not look good.

Marvel and the Betrayal of Doctor...

Although the Starks were at the center of Game of Thrones, there is no denying that the Lannisters were one of the most interesting parts of the series. With their scheming, ever-filling coffers of money and hunger for more power, they orchestrated almost all of the major events of the series. While fans turn to Cersi or Tywin Lannister as the most interesting, one other character does not get enough credit; Jaime Lannister.

The Kingslayer and his constantly shifting priorities made him unpredictable even before we saw him for the very first time. While his future is full of adventure and challenges, one point of his life is still unknown. One that could act as the perfect spin-off to the series and be just as, if not more interesting than House of the Dragon.

Game of Thrones broke all records with its intricate storytelling when it premiered in 2011. Further, it also presented a star-studded ensemble, including Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. His character Jamie Lannister had a morally complex role on the hit show. However, off-screen, the actor had a more lighter side to him and was constantly pranking his crew members and even the show’s creators.

“My Fathers’ Daughter,” soon to be the first Sámi-language feature to world premiere at Toronto, has released a first-look image featuring “Game of Thrones” actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who will cameo as himself in the coming-of-age family dramedy.

Directed by Egil Pedersen, “My Fathers’ Daughter” is the story of Elvira, a confident teenager who is convinced that she was conceived at a Danish fertility clinic. Steadfast in that belief, she often daydreams about who her father may be, envisioning him as a famous movie star, in this case, Coster-Waldau. However, those dreams are taken from the girl when her real biological father unexpectedly appears.

Although “My Fathers’ Daughter” marks Pedersen’s feature debut, he’s an accomplished helmer who has directed 18 music videos, 15 shorts and numerous commissioned films and advertisements. His most recent short, a satirical comedy titled “Koftepolitiet” (“Indigenous Police”), was a hit in the Sami community.

Game of Thrones was not free of complicated relationships and Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth were one of them. Played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Gwendoline Christie, the characters’ relationship begins with each having hostility towards the other. Over time, though, the two come closer, especially after Jaime saves Brienne from being r-ped.

While fans often get lost in the raw and harrowing storytelling of the series, they might end up missing out on noticing beautifully shot scenes. This includes a scene between Jaime and Brienne in the third season, which serves as an unforgettable homage to the A Song of Ice and Fire books.

Doctor Doom is one of the most iconic and interesting characters from the Marvel Universe. Although he is primarily a villain for the Fantastic Four, many events have made him powerful enough to be a threat on a multiversal scale. After Kang and the disappointments that he came with, it is safe to say that fans are glad that the MCU has switched their big bad from the Conqueror to Doctor Victor Von Doom.

Although fans have been wanting Robert Downey Jr. to come back into the MCU ever since his character gave his life to save it, the fact that he is playing the role of Von Doom has split the fans. They cannot help but wonder if there were better choices for the role.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau played ‘Kingslayer’ Jamie Lannister in the HBO fantasy drama series Game of Thrones. For eight seasons, the show entertained its audience, only to end up with a more or less lackluster finale. It was so disappointing that there was a petition across to redo the awful ending.

And it wasn’t just the fans who were disappointed with how one of the best shows on television ended. Even Coster-Waldau, who was a part of the show from the very first episode to its very last, almost signed the same petition to have the ending redone. And almost paid money for it.

George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice gave way to a whole fantasy world we now know as Westeros. From fire-breathing dragons to all-knowing crows to walking zombies, they have it all.

The book was adapted into Game of Thrones by HBO, and it became one of the most popular TV shows of all time.

Sigurdsson joins “Happy Valley’s” James Norton and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in the upcoming CBS Studios and BBC drama series.

Norton plays Harold, Earl of Wessex while Coster-Waldau is William, Duke of Normandy.

“Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the British throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown,” reads the logline.

Peter Dinklage was the most successful “Game of Thrones” actor at the Emmys, winning four trophies across the eight-season HBO show.

Dinklage was joined as an Emmy nominee by several cast members including Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and more. We originally thought that spin-off series “House of the Dragon” would be equally successful at garnering its cast members Emmy nominations but, somehow, not one actor from the show’s first season was nominated at the Emmys — not even Paddy Considine, who played King Viserys I Targaryen. That character — spoiler — died in season one but this second season, which has aired two episodes so far, still features a host of fantastic actors. So, without further ado, here are five cast members who deserve Emmy consideration.

Emma D’Arcy

D’Arcy plays the older version of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, who is at the center of the entire series. D’Arcy,...

Targaryens vs. Lannisters: Comparing Characters from House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones - Main Image

House of the Dragon Season 2 is finally here. While nobody from Game of Thrones appears in the show, fans have no doubt been able to spot several different archetypes in the new show who could stand in for established characters in Game of Thrones.

One particularly messy family in Game of Thrones is the Lannisters, and many fans have been comparing the lords of Casterly Rock to the equally messy Targaryens around the era of Hotd. So which Hotd characters are best compared to their Got counterparts?

Tywin Lannister vs. Otto Hightower

In Game of Thrones, Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) is known as a ruthless political leader who has no empathy for the smallfolk and tries his best to put his family in a place of power. He served as Hand of the King for Aerys II Targaryen,...

Upon its release, Game of Thrones Season 8 garnered widespread criticism following its rushed nature, and even years later, the sentiment surrounding the season remains the same. But some actors did come forward to speak against the initial backlash that the show and its showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss received, including Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

Known for playing Jaime Lannister, not only did the actor come forward to defend the showrunners against the unbridled hate, but contrary to popular belief, he also felt the ending was amazing.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Deems Got’s Controversial Ending Amazing

Unlike the previous seasons, which allowed its story and characters to progress in a natural flow, season 8 maintained a breakneck pace from start to finish. In doing so, the magic of the previous seasons was lost, and fans were less than thrilled by the rushed conclusion to one of the...

Stars: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Fanny Leander Bornedal, Ulf Pilgaard, Casper Kjær Jensen, Vibeke Hastrup, Kim Bodnia | Written and Directed by Ole Bornedal

Thirty years after the original Nightwatch and twenty-seven years after the American remake, writer/director Ole Bornedal returns, rather literally, to the scene of the crime with Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever, a standalone sequel to the original Danish film.

Martin survived the events of the first film and the suicide of his wife Kalinka. It’s taken its toll though, he’s dependent on prescription drugs to get through the day, and he’s even less likeable than he was back then. He also has a daughter, Emma, played by the director’s daughter Fanny Leander Bornedal who is in med school.

Early in the film, needing money, she takes her father’s old job, night watchman, or ward clerk as it’s called now, at the morgue. As...

Thirty years after introducing viewers to a sadistic serial killer in the Danish horror film Nightwatch (aka Nattevagten), writer/director Ole Bornedal has returned to the world of his harrowing film with the sequel Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever. Easily one of my favorite films of the year thus far, Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever is a relentlessly tense examination of the damaging effects of unresolved trauma on families, the painful healing of the grieving process, and how the past can literally come back to haunt you... with something sharp in its hands.

Featuring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Kim Bodnia, and Ulf Pilgaard reprising their roles from the original Nightwatch alongside a talented roster of actors who are new to this franchise, Demons Are Forever is now streaming on Shudder, and Daily Dead caught up with writer/director Ole Bornedal to discuss continuing the story of Nightwatch 30 years later, exploring the aftereffects of violent trauma through his film's characters,...
