All men must die, but that doesn't mean they can't at least have some piggyback-based fun first.

Earlier this week, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (a.k.a. everyone's second favourite Lannister) appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

They spent a bit of time chatting about tattoos, and then at some point this happened:

Now, just being in the same room as Jaime Lannister would be awesome enough. Getting a piggyback, though? That's on a whole other level.

Lin-Manuel Miranda was so happy he tweeted about it.

And, just to round the whole thing off perfectly, Coster-Waldau responded with a nice Game of Thrones pun.

What we wouldn't give to hang out with these two for a game of table tennis.
