Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, fondly known as “The Kingslayer” for his character Jaime Lannister in the hit HBO series, sent his fans into a frenzy after he was spotted at the popular Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru. The actor was seen enjoying a traditional South Indian breakfast.
Shakira, a content creator, was recording herself at the cafe when she noticed Coster-Waldau in the background. Dressed in a simple black shirt and hat, the actor was seen gorging on idlis and dosas alongside two other tourists. “So I was at @therameshwaramcafe, Bengaluru when I was randomly filming myself and just found @nikolajwilliamcw aka Jaime Lannister from @gameofthrones standing just behind me — it was a star-struck moment,” she wrote in the caption.
