Sunday's penultimate episode of HBO's "Game of Thrones" brought the demise of several major characters, including the most arrogant man in Westeros: Euron Greyjoy, played by Danish actor Pilou Asbæk.

This final set of "Game of Thrones" episodes has been controversial among fans, and has record-low critical reviews. Asbæk says now that his character has been killed off, he's throwing his support behind showrunners David Benioff and Dan "D.B." Weiss for the final episode.

"I'm rooting for Dan and David," Asbæk said in an interview with INSIDER. "For them to be happy with what they have created [...] because right now people are very angry."

Asbæk, who hasn't watched a single episode of the show since he was cast as Euron, also revealed more about the strenuous final fight scene he filmed and why he was first "bummed" to realize Euron was so different from the book character.

Kim Renfro: Thanks so much for taking the time today.

Pilou Asbæk: Oh of course. I'm finally dead on "Game of Thrones," so I've got all the time in the world to talk. And now I can be honest about.

Renfro: Well, great. Be honest, go nuts. How are you feeling?

Asbæk: I'm feeling great. I feel very, very thankful to be part of it. As an actor you always want more scenes, you want more stuff to work with, you want to have as much screen time as possible. But, that said, you're also extremely thankful that you got to be a part of one of the biggest shows in the world.

Renfro: And you got to go out with a pretty epic fight. Tell me about that body slam wrestling move you pulled on Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (who plays Jaime Lannister)?

Asbæk: That was pretty intense. We might have had a little bit of help from a stunt double … I can't remember. No, I don't think so, I actually think we did all of it. Because you see our faces, right? I haven't seen the episode.
