Game of Thrones’ Bran Stark actor snubs Jon Snow as he admits he’d be ‘gutted’ if he didn’t beat him to throne
GAME of Thrones actor Isaac Hempstead Wright doesn’t rate Jon Snow as a potential monarch.
The actor, best known for playing Bran Stark on the hit fantasy drama, attended last night’s Q Awards alongside a host of other stars.
He spoke about how he would feel if George RR Martin’s series of novels, ended differently to the TV series, where Bran ended up as king.
“I will be a bit gutted I think,” he confessed, clearly on board with the idea that Bran’s wisdom made him an obvious pick.
However, he admitted the fate of his character in the Song of Ice & Fire saga was still up in the air.
“What’s nice is the fact the books and the show were able to evolve as their own thing,” he continued.
“So George has no obligations to end it in any of the same ways we did,” he added to Metro Online.
“That’s quite cool, you’re going to get two alternative endings to Game of Thrones.”
Alas, when he was asked about the prospect of Jon Snow ruling over Westeros, he was less than enthusiastic, simply replying: “Urrmm…”
Don’t sound too enthusiastic there, Isaac.

Still, Bran has also come under fire for his ruling skills, with Melisandre actress Carice van Houten previously comparing him to ‘dumbo’ and calling the conclusions ‘silly’.
The finale of Game of Thrones saw the beloved Stark family split up as they embarked on very different paths.
Sansa decided to rule over an independent North, while Arya sailed of to uncharted lands to the west for adventure.
Isaac's comments come after Kit Harington urged co-star Sophie Turner to 'shush' after she leaked a series of behind-the-scenes secrets.
Elsewhere, more of the cast for spin-off prequel series Bloodmoon were announced.
