During the last time of year of Game of Thrones , one unmarried look station the fanbase aflame . It ’s now goggle box ’s biggest “ will they or wo n’t they ? ” since Ross and Rachel , or Jim and Pam . And it turn over out , it was all the actors ’ doing .
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly , showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss partake in that Kristofer Hivju and Gwendoline Christie improvize Tormund Giantsbane ’s sexual tensity with Brienne of Tarth . It all stems from the second when Brienne , Sansa , and Podrick first arrived at Castle Black in episode four , “ Book of the Stranger , ” and Tormund gazes upon our mighty warrior like the goddess she is . As Benioff divvy up , Hivju claim a very vague stagecoach direction and plough it into a moment for the years .
“ It ’s peachy because there was no talks written for that , or major stage direction , there was just a note like , ‘ He star at Brienne because he ’s never seen a woman like that before . ’ And then we let the actors do what they do , ” Benioff enunciate .
Most of their later interactions , particularly during “ Battle of the Bastards , ” were also a result of an improvised chemistry between the actors — include that conniption where Tormund smiles seductively at Brienne as they ’re about to leave Castle Black . Last yr , Hivju said they spent a whole day charge that scenery and there areseveral takesthat did n’t make it into the last undercut ( sadly , they ’re not on theblooper spool ) . And while episode director Dan Sackheim has tell theirchemistry was intentional , it was n’t part of the showrunners ’ handwriting .
“ It ’s not something you could ever write , ” Weiss said . “ I watch it 150 times and every time it made me laugh ; it ’s strictly the two of them . ”
BothChristieandHivjuhave raved about the kinship in the past , although Hivju seems more enthusiastic about pursuingwhat he ’s called“Briemund the Tarth Bane . ” Hell , even Nikolaj Coster - Waldau has have it hisblessing , even though Jaime Lannister and Brienne have a strong shackle of their own . But it sounds like it might not last forever . Benioff joke that one of them has to go now , because on Game of Thrones , no one is permit to be that felicitous .
“ We need to pour down one of them now because there ca n’t be a happy close or any amorous connection on the show . But we ’re not going to tell you which one , ” he order .
Do n’t you dare , show . We ’re still careen from the Red Wedding — killing off Tarth Bane might just give away the fandom . Game of Thrones returns July 16 , hopefully with a relationship as brilliant and beautiful as Brienne and Tormund deserve .
