Ryan Reynolds has revealed that he would love a role in Game of Thrones, and hopes that his Irish roots will help.
The actor explained that he is a massive fan of the show, which is partly filmed in Northern Ireland and features plenty of Irish talent.
The HBO series has become hugely popular over the years, with A-list Hollywood actors like Ryan professing their love for the show.
“It’s no secret, I’m a Game of Thrones nut. I’m an addict,” he told the Sun.
“There’s nothing I won’t do to get my next fix. No boundary of self-respect, I’ll do whatever it is I have to do to have more.”
The Canadian heartthrob has roots in Galway, and reckons this could help him get a part in the show.
“Would I want a part? On one hand, I’m a fan so I like my outside perspective into that world but on the other, f*** yeah, how ridiculously insane would that be!
“I’m not sure how or where I’d fit in. Are there any new parts? Maybe I could just take over [one of the Irish roles].
“There are some amazing Irish actors, and I’m Irish, I’ve got that rugged pallor for maybe Littlefinger or Davos. I could see that.
“Or maybe I could be a long lost Lannister?”
We reckon the already hugely popular show would gain a few viewers if Ryan were to be cast.
