I have a couple of things for you. The first are some posters from HBO of GAME OF THRONES season three. The main one is a close up shot of Nikolaj as Jaime, the others are just promo posters and one of a three-shot with Jaime, Cersi (Lena Headey) and Joffrey (Jack Gleason). The other addition are the real scans from a photo shoot Nikolaj did in the March issue of GQ magazine. I scanned these from the magazine, they’re not from the GQ site or from Just Jared. If you are going to repost, please credit back to this site as a curtosey. While the magazine didn’t cost much, it’s the time it took to scan and upload. Thanks. The contents of the article will be printed below the cut.

If you’re one of the holdouts to HBO’s Game of Thrones because shadow babies and snow zombies strike you as fantasy, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays the rakish Jaime Lannister, won’t hold it against you. Although the books have sold more than 20 million copies and spawned moblike forums berating author George R.R. Martin for not yet having completed the series (“Pull your fucking typewriter out of your ass and start fucking typing”), the 42-year-old Dane admits to having reservations about the genre. “It’s probably my own lack of education,” he says carefully, “but you know, it’s always good guy against bad guy, and there are those really tacky book covers.” What eventually sold him on the show, though, is its all-too-human characters with their flesh-and-blood ambitions and flaws.

In real life, Coster-Waldau has kept a low profile, though that might change this year after he appears in Tom Cruise’s postapocalyptic Oblivion and in the horror movie Mama. The latter is another genre about which he’s squeamish: “I had to watch it with the sound turned way down. I’m such a wimp.” One can imagine certain other names GoT fanboys might call him for that.

Here finally is the media for Nikolaj’s recent episode of GAME OF THRONES. Finally an episode with Jaime. I’d have to say he was in good form with Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) in this episode. He also met Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie). I think I now know what Nikolaj meant when he said this was his best acting job to date. Jaime’s dialogue was perfect and Nikolaj delivered it pitch perfect. I loved his sarcasm with the “Dead Ned” part. I know it’s not nice but how Nikolaj performed it…sublime. A strong thank you has to go to Michelle Fairley for her strong performance as Catelyn. Without her I don’t think the scene would have been a potent. It was her reaction to Nikolaj that upped the “game” as it were. A special shout out too for four of Nikolaj’s co-stars. The first set of “thank yous” need to go to Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) for their excellence in the Harrenhal scenes. I’m loving their story so much. Anything to see Charles Dance is a good thing. Adding in Amazing Maisie just made it that much more special. The other kudos needs to go to Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister Baratheon) for their scene involving the discussion of Jaime. Honourable mention must also go to Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) for his crazy turn. I really do think he’s come into his own. Problem is: I feel another death on the horizon. Yep, I think it’s going to be Theon.

I subscribe to a news feed on Nikolaj so I have a lot coming in on a regular basis, but it’s easy to weed out the good interviews with the bad. Here is a fun interview where Nikolaj discusses both GAME OF THRONES and his new film HEADHUNTERS just opening now. I’ll have the screencaps for HEADHUNTERS up soon. Keep watch. In the meantime, here is a preview of what Nikolaj has to say. You can read the rest by clicking on the link.

GQ: Roger Brown is terrified of dogs. Do you have any similar irrational phobias? I know he is scared of your dog.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau: When I was a kid I was always afraid of small dogs, because they always seemed like the ones that would attack. Either they wanted to bite you or they wanted to fuck you, and I didn’t like that. And the irony, of course, [is that] my family, we have two dogs and they’re two tiny, little, very sweet dogs. What else? Small spaces; I’m not good with small spaces. But animals, no. Snakes? No, I don’t like—I think it’s kind of the usual suspects.

In the latest in the countdown to the season two premiere of GAME OF THRONES, we have episode nine Baelor. Nikolaj as Jaime Lannister is captured by Robb Stark’s (Richard Madden) army and taken hostage to use as a bargaining chip with King’s Landing in order to get Ned Stark (Sean Bean), Arya (Maisie Williams) and Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) returned. However, it is too late for Ned who has already been beheaded by the Little Caligula-like emperor Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) contrary to his mother Cersi’s (Lena Headey) wishes.

Today’s countdown capture is from GAME OF THRONES episode four Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things. The line comes from Jaime’s brother Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) who states this to Robb Stark (Richard Madden), Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright), Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) and others at Winterfell when he explains his affinity for those like him. This scene with Nikolaj has Jaime standing guard outside Robert Baratheon’s (Mark Addy) bedchamber where The King entertains his prostitutes. Jaime reflects on Cersi’s (Lena Headey) shame as he stands watch.

It’s hard to believe it’s just nine days to the premiere of season two of GAME OF THRONES and for that occasion, I’m planning on having a ‘screencap-a-day’ of Nikolaj’s episodes. So starting today, I’m going to feature a screencap from Nikolaj’s first episode of the show. Here Jaime does the unthinkable “for love”, he says wryly as he shoves poor Bran Stark (Issac Hempstead Wright) from the turret window where the tyke caught Jaime in a sexual tryst with his twin sister Cersi (Lena Headey).
