NICOLAJ COSTER-WALDAU
The Kingslayer slays us on Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones fans have been confused about their lust for Jaime “Kingslayer” Lannister ever since he was caught fornicating with his twin sister, Cersei, and then threw Bran Stark out of a high tower without missing a beat. Very bad guy, but, damn, hella hot. Credit the delicious 6’2” Danish actor Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, he with the killer blue eyes, razor-sharp jawline, and woman-eating grin, for that bewitching bewilderment. The 46-year-old husband and father of two has been playing roguish heartthrobs for much of his career. Who can forget his charming portrayal of a sexy scoundrel with a wife, a girlfriend, and a new lover in The Other Woman (2014)? In his current Netflix film, Small Crimes, he’s a bad cop trying to be good, with no such luck, but his erotic romance with a hospice nurse, played by Molly Parker, is somehow sweet.
Besides his return in HBOs mega series GoT this summer, Nicolaj’s next film, Shot Caller premieres at the LA Film Festival in June. In the crime thriller, he’s almost unrecognizable as a tattooed parolee ordered to carry out crimes for his gang leader. Somehow he makes that porn-stache look tasty indeed.
