The cast of Game of Thrones has thanked fans for keeping their faith alive in them and the show throughout the series. The HBO show ended on Monday with the death of Daenerys Targaryen and Bran Stark being declared the King of six kingdoms.
In several video clips posted on Game of Thrones’ official Twitter handle, actors Emilia Clarke and Isaac Hempstead Wright left emotional thank you messages for fans of the show.
Isaac, who played Bran, said, “It would be nothing if it weren’t for all those rumours and theories and intense discussions going on. It’s been an eye-opening journey.” Emilia, whose Daenerys was stabbed to death by Jon Snow, got teary-eyed as she spoke to her fans. She said, “Fans have given me an identity which I never had and I don’t think I would ever be able to play someone like this. This is literally my whole adult life.”
