Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is not about to be caught out. Appearing Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, the Game of Thrones star was confronted with fan theories about how the show might end.

He remained tight-lipped when confronted with the suggestions that 1) Jaime will kill Cersei, and 2) that Arya will kill Cersei using Jaime's face, but his response to Jon Snow becoming the Night King seemed to suggest that one, at least, probably isn't going to happen.

So has Coster-Waldau ever read any fan theories that were correct?

"Some," he replies. "But I've never read anyone who got the whole thing."

"And when I read it the first time I was blown away. I wrote Dan and David, the two creators, and I was like, 'I really don't know how you did it, but I can't imagine a better way of ending the show.'"

*Excitement levels intensify*
