Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage was on The Daily Show Tuesday night to talk to our departing Sun and Stars, Jon Stewart about the new season of the HBO series (premiering this Sunday at 9 p.m ET).
Dinklage gave multiple compliments to his frequent scene partner Conlith Hill (Lord Varys), talked about the Internet's obsession with George R.R. Martin, and related a true story about the boundless hunger of Icelandic strongman Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who plays The Mountain.
Apparently, while dining in Croatia one night, Björnsson ordered off-menu. And it wasn't some gluten-free, portion-controlled substitution either -- it was seven whole roasted chickens. At an average of three pounds each, that's about 21 pounds of meat, just for an entree. Dinklage didn't mention what the living, breathing giant ordered for an appetizer or dessert, but we're imagining it was steak tartare and some sort of bacon ice cream, probably.
