In a recent interview with King Tommen Baratheon actor Dean-Charles Chapman, the 18-year old actor revealed he is not comfortable with all the hate "Game of Thrones" fans have been throwing not only to his character, but to him as well. He wanted to remind these fans that he is not Tommen, but rather the actor who only happens to portray the character.
With only two episodes left for the current season, tension has built up so much in the show that every move committed by any important "Game of Thrones" fellow are watched and closely monitored by fans. Now that Tommen has recently intertwined the rule of law and faith in King's Landing, fans cannot stop but hate the king, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
This has been the reason why Chapman has been upset lately. He revealed he had been getting a lot of hate messages from fans via social media, most of it through Twitter, which somewhat disappointed him. The young actor had been straight forward in the interview where he admitted he is unhappy of fans' mostly hate reactions. Despite these, Chapman seemed to have seen the good side to the situation as he has considered that fans only react that way because of him being an effective actor.
Meanwhile, Tommen's mother, Cersei Lannister is speculated on planning something right after the King denounced the option of trial by combat in dealing with the High Sparrow. It seems like the Queen Mother will need Qyburn's help in achieving this plan, IGN reported.
The same report elaborated this theory through explaining that in "Blood of my Blood," several scenes of Aerys the Mad King burning King's Landing was shown in Bran's vision. But what was quite different is that pyromancers created the wildfire. In reality, this did not happen as Aerys was first killed by Jamie Lannister before he was able to execute his plan.
More is expected to be revealed as "Battle of the Bastards," and "Winds of Winter" airs this week and next week. Viewers will then see if Cersei is really up in burning King's Landing to escape.
