Peter Dinklage SlamsGame of ThronesFans for Hypocrisy Over Sansa’s Assault Scene
Peter Dinklagedidn’t hold back when discussing the fan reaction to one ofGame of Thrones‘ most shocking scenes. He was taken aback by the uproar over Sansa Stark’s harrowing assault by Ramsay Bolton.
The actor explained, pointing out the hypocrisy of fans who were upset about Sansa but seemed indifferent to the show’s frequent, brutal treatment of other female characters. He explained (viaNY Times):
You just love these characters and you don’t want to see anything bad happen to them. But the same people are O.K. with all these prostitutes on the show being killed and raped.
In his candid chat, Dinklage also expressed his appreciation for strong reactions to controversial content. This raw honesty aligns with his characteristically direct approach, whether discussing his onscreen roles or his offscreen life.
Dinklage’s offbeat humor extends to his personal anecdotes. He reminisced about his working relationship with Lena Headey, recalling their days sharing an apartment in Belfast and unwinding withProject Runway. The actor grinned, saying,

While he’s avoided being a spokesperson for dwarves, he’s open to unconventional projects, like his hoped-for film about a leprechaun calledO’Lucky Day. As for his interactions with others, he’s known for his sharp wit and unapologetic honesty, reflected even in his goodbyes:“I know,”he said with a smile, leaving a lasting impression.
Dinklage Still Clings to Hope forToxic Avenger’s Release Despite Sudden Pull
Peter Dinklage ain’t giving up hope on theToxic Avengerremake, despite its sudden pull from release. Back in July, 2023, whispers surfaced that the film was deemed too far out there by an unnamed producer, leading to its removal from the release schedule. During an interview withComicBook, the star admitted he’s not updated on the film’s fate but remains optimistic. He said:
I do want it to get out there into the world because it was a really big hit at Fantastic Fest in Austin, and Macon Blair, the writer/director who is also in The Thicket … He’s incredible. He’s one of my favorite people and favorite artists. So hopefully it will have its day in the toxic sun.
Dinklage gave a shout-out to directorMacon Blair, calling him incredible and hoping the film will eventually be released. InToxic Avenger, a remake of the 1984 cult classic, Dinklage plays Winston, a janitor turned super-hero by toxic waste. IfMegalopoliscan make it to theaters with its quirky vibe, here’s hopingToxic Avengergets its chance too.
