Nikolaj Coster-Waldau wanted to jokingly sign petition to reshoot 'Game Of Thrones' finale
The final season of Game Of Thrones proved to be so divisive with television fans and critics that, soon after its finale aired, a petition for HBO to reshoot its last batch of episodes became very, very popular. In fact, more than 1.8 million people gave their virtual signatures to the form, which was rather cruelly entitled, “Remake Game Of Thrones Season 8 with competent writers.” It turns out that star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, whose portrayal of Jaime Lannister is regarded as one of the most popular in the history of the show, saw this petition and even contemplated signing it. Only for a joke, though.

GAME of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke has blasted the sexist double standards between her and Jon Snow’s costumes on set. “They used it to pump cold water into these pipes and cool them all down so underneath they had this weird kind of cooling system .
Speaking about the show's costumes for the Edinburgh TV festival, she said: "The guys in the Night's Watch are wearing a woolly mammoth all the time. When we were shooting things in a hot country, they had this pump that had its own little generator attached into the costumes.
"They used it to pump cold water into these pipes and cool them all down so underneath they had this weird kind of cooling system. Girls weren't allowed that. All I could get was the back of my wig to be lifted up. It's too hard, I've got a wig on, they don't make cold packs you know, you put ice packs on yourself."
Meanwhile, Emilia previously admitted she was worried she'd lose her 'Game of Thrones' role due to her two brain aneurysms.
She admitted: "With the first one, I couldn't let them know what had happened until they knew that I wasn't going to die. So it took us three weeks to be like, 'sorry for not answering the old emails. I've just been a bit, you know ... I'm fine! 'By the way, everything's great. I'm totally fine. I'm going to be back to work, nothing wrong's with me. I'm all good.'"
Sophie Turner Installs Sansa Stark's Throne In Her LA Home
That's one cool piece of furniture.‘Welcome home,’ Sophie wrote, uploading a snap of the iconic chair to her Instagram stories. We have to be honest: the wooden throne, which was seen in the show’s controversial season finale after (spoiler alert!) Sansa was crowned Queen of the North, doesn't look the most comfortable - but it is carved with the Stark family’s grey direwolf sigils, which Sophie also has a tattoo of.

Mick Jagger
Whilst filming the biographical film ‘Ned Kelly’, in 1969, Mick Jagger was injured by a pistol, which backfired, forcing the metal into his hand. Jagger had been filming for Kelly’s final shootout with the police when the accident occurred. The accident may have been a stroke of luck though, as it inspired Jagger to write the Rolling Stones classic ‘Brown Sugar’. Jagger explained “I was trying to rehabilitate my hand and had this new kind of electric guitar, and I was playing in the middle of the outback and wrote this tune.”

Sylvester Stallone
In pursuit of realistic-looking stunts, Stallone opted for real hits as often as possible when filming 1985’s ‘Rocky IV’. # Stallone told co-star Dolph Lundgren to “just try to knock me out. Really cut loose as hard as you can”. However, Stallone underestimated Lundgren's strength and admitted that “he hit me so hard he almost stopped my heart". Looking back, Stallone accepts “That was a really stupid thing to say. Next thing I know, I’m on a low-altitude plane to the emergency room, and I’m in intensive care for four days”.

Jackie Chan
‘Police Story’ is one of Jackie Chan’s most popular and most dangerous films. In the 1985 action film, the climatic stunt involved Chan throwing himself off a balcony in a shopping centre, grabbing a pole covered in light bulbs, sliding down it and then dropping off it through a glass roof and onto a decorative house. The stunt didn’t go to plan and Chan sustained serious burns on his hands from the lights and the hard landing dislocated Chan's pelvis and injured two vertebrae in his spine. Fortunately, the shot was good enough to keep the first take - hopefully he wouldn’t have tried it again!

Michael J. Fox
When filming ‘Back to the Future Part III’ Michael J Fox agreed to actually hang from the rope to help make the strangulation scene in the 1990 film look more realistic. Fox was supposed to hold the rope away from his throat with his hands in order to prevent actual strangulation. However, at one point, the actor let go of the rope and was actually strangled, to the point of him passing out. Fox remembered his suffering saying, "It was a full 30 seconds before anyone noticed. Thankfully Bob Zemeckis, a fan of mine though he was, realised that I wasn't that good of an actor".

Halle Berry
Whilst filming for 2003’s psychological horror ‘Gothika’, Halle Berry broke her arm. Robert Downey Jr. had to roughly grab her limb in accordance with the script, but he "grabbed my arm the wrong way and broke it," Halle revealed.

George Clooney
George Clooney has never been the same since the stunt gone wrong in 2005’s ‘Syriana’. During a torture scene, Clooney cracked open his skull. Which would have been bad enough, but the subsequent debilitating full-body pain suggested something more serious was wrong. After visiting a neurologist, Clooney found out that he had a two-and-a-half-inch rip in the middle of his back, a half-inch tear in his neck and was leaking spinal fluid to the point out of his nose. Clooney’s pain management specialist told him, “You can't mourn for how you used to feel, because you're never going to feel that way again.”

Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron was almost paralysed attempting a stunt for 2005’s ‘Aeon Flux’. She had been acting in a scene during which she fell on her neck. Revealing it could have been the end of her career and a normal life, she said, “I was a centimetre away from being completely paralysed for the rest of my life.” Afterwards, Theron was left dealing with “eight years of pain management, where I just couldn’t get rid of the spasms and the nerve damage. I ended up having a (neck) fusion".

Isla Fisher
Isla Fisher’s impressive underwater stunt in ‘Now You See Me’, released in 2013, was supposed to have safety measures in use to protect the actress, but they failed and the Fisher had to save herself. Fisher’s escapologist character performs a trick where she escapes from a tank submerged in water and tied with chains. But Isla became entangled and couldn’t get out of the water or call for help. She explained, ''They had a guy who was off camera, but he was a long way away with a can of oxygen ... by the time I realised I couldn't get up and beckoned for him, I realised that I had run out of air.'' Luckily after two-and-a-half terrifying minutes underwater she “got out before it went even more horribly wrong”.

Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is unusual in Hollywood, as always he insists on doing his own stunts. This has backfired a few times though, including when Emily Blunt “almost killed him” in a car chase sequence in ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ released in 2014. Blunt was supposed to take a hard right at breakneck speed but ignored Cruise’s instructions. She shared: "Suddenly, as I approached the right hand turn, I hear him going ‘Brake, brake, brake ... Oh God! Brake the car! Brake the car!' When I first heard him say ‘Brake’, in my head I went ‘shut up’, you know? As if I knew more about stunt driving than Tom Cruise!”
