Earlier this week, Jason Momoa caused some major headlines after posting an Instagram photo of himself in a bar with Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. For those of you who aren't fans of the show, Jason Mamoa played the beloved Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones before being killed off during season one. It was very traumatic, and will always be too soon to talk about.
Why You Need to Know: Momoa's appearance in Ireland, where scenes from the show are filmed, alongside Benioff and Weiss sent fans into a tizzy. Some fans claimed that the meeting was about Khal Drogo making a reappearance on the show via flashbacks. Who would've thought that a simple bar photo would cause such an uproar? Well, maybe that's what Momoa had planned all along. |
