Nathan Fillion trolls Hodor and, well, all of us, in new Instagram post

There is some light door holding involved.

Game of Thrones' gentle giant Hodor isn't just holding doors in Westeros.

After Hodor's now-legendary departure from Game of Thrones Season 6, he's now getting requests IRL too. He's not even safe from fellow nerd icons like Nathan Fillion, mammoth of nerd lore, amateur Instagram filmmaker, indirect door requester. Just watch the video below.

For non-Game of Thrones heads, Hodor broke the internet's heart the last time he held a door in one of the show's biggest plot twists, spurring memes, reactions, and outright hysteria.

Likewise Nathan Fillion is no stranger to fandoms, starring in cult classics like Firefly and Serenity.

In addition to being the nerd universe collision of our dreams, it's really actor Kristian Nairn's final look at the camera that makes this video delightful. We could watch him deadpan every time he's holding a door from now until the end of time, because — let's be real — his days casually holding doors open are pretty much over.
