ET Canada

Coster-Waldau defended creators/showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss at Game of Thrones fan convention “Con of Thrones” over the weekend. “The only thing I’ll say is that for anyone to imagine or to think that the two creators of this show are not the most passionate, the greatest, the most invested of all, and to for a second think that they didn’t spend the last 10 years thinking about how they were gonna end it, is kinda silly," he said, adding: “And also know that they too read the comments, and even though you sit on your own and go, ‘F*cking stupid writers! A*sholes!’ They really, like everyone on Game of Thrones… and there are thousands, we worked our a*sses off to make the best show we could for the ending.” ALSO: George R.R. Martin says fan reaction to the series finale won't affect the books.
