Turns out, the cast of Game of Thrones was just as excited as we were when the final trailer for the show dropped.

Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister, shared a video of himself on Instagram watching the trailer, and he seemed pretty excited about it.

Coster-Waldau started out filming himself watching the screen, before doing a cheeky little camera flip to his smudged laptop screen.

He even included a little commentary, such as "yes!" "beautiful," "Ary-a!" (when Maisie Williams shows up on the screen) and "kiss!" (when Missandei embraces Grey Worm).

He also spoke over his own one line in the trailer ("I promised to fight for the living. I intend to keep that promise" to pretty hilarious effect.

The poor selfie angling skills, the smudgy screen, the dorky commentary. Who'd have known Ser Jaime was such a dad when it comes to social media?
