So Jon Snow is Targaryen? (Picture: HBO)

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau aka Jaime Lannister in Game Of Thrones has seemingly confirmed Jon Snow is actually of Targaryen descent.

While it’s been heavily hinted Jon Snow is the secret son of Ned Stark’s sister Lyanna and Rhaegar Tagaryen, with a flashback in season six revealing the mother side of his parentage, it’s never been officially confirmed whether his father is actually a Targaryen.

However Nikolaj Coster-Waldau seemingly dropped a major spoiler on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and he’s probably currently being hounded by HBO’s studio executives at this very minute.


Asked about Jon Snow’s resurrection after having previously fibbed to the host about the character’s return, Nikolaj said: ‘Jon Snow is dead. Jon Stark Targaryen has risen from the dead.’



Being as cool as a cucumber, Nikolaj did however backtrack with suspiciously smooth ease, adding: ‘I mean, I’m just making that up.’

It isn’t the only time the actor has slipped up spoilers however, after nearly dropping a massive hint about Cersei Lannister’s new love interest in season seven.

He’s also previously confirmed how there’s truth in the some of the online leaks for the forthcoming season, so he’s definitely a repeated spoilers offender.
