All it took was one glance last week to light up Twitter. Tormund Giantsbane crushing on Brienne of Tarth? It’s the match-up we never knew we wanted, until we did. And in Sunday’s Game of Thrones season 6 “The Door,” episode the wildling’s desperately unabashed interest in the warrior continued until Brienne was visibly rolling her eyes.
One fan of the storyline is Brienne actress Gwendoline Christie, who says she could barely keep a straight face during Tormund actor Kristofer Hivju’s advances.
“First of all, Kristofer is absolutely hilarious,” she says. “I don’t think I’ve been in a scene on Game of Thrones when it’s been everything I can do to stop myself from laughing. The way he was behaving toward me was just extraordinary.”
The actress also appreciated Tormund’s giant crush from an acting vantage point, as well. “I enjoyed Brienne being put in that position of feeling awkward and not wanting the attention,” she says. “That was a very fun thing to play. He’s a wildling, he’s very sensual and animal-like and very forthright with his emotions and feelings — which is really the opposite of [Brienne]. I enjoyed trying to navigate that and the beauty of her embarrassment. She can totally deal with the situation, and with him, but she’s just so embarrassed about it.”
So much happened in last night's #GameofThrones but Tormund's crush on Brienne is still the best. pic.twitter.com/ZX6Hreuys9— Matt Baumann (@Matt_bau) May 23, 2016
