From his role as Joey in Friends to his recent gig on Top Gear, Matt LeBlanc has always been seen as cute, harmless and pretty damn lovable.

But it looks like a recent remark he made at the Emmys this weekend may go a long way towards turning that perception on its head.

While walking the red carpet at the weekend, the 49-year-old actor offered his opinion of Game of Thrones – and Twitter has been having a field day ever since.

While being interviewed alongside GoT's Emilia Clarke, Matt revealed he wasn't a die-hard fan of the show, but Emilia's nude scenes may change that.

"I saw the first season and then kind of fell out of touch with it…and I guess that’s when she started getting naked, so I need to catch up," he said.

And then all hell broke loose in the Twitosphere as social media users debated the nature of the comment.

Well, hold the phone because two of our favourite ladies just got tattoos in Northern Ireland.

The babes headed to Belfast to be inked by tattoo artist Kat Paine, who said both of the girls are "dead-on."

Kat took to Facebook to share a fab pic of them in her studio. She captioned the snap: "Got to tattoo these gorgeous girlies today Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner from Game of Thrones."

Neither of the women have shared their matching tattoos yet, but Maisie took to Instagram yesterday to post a picture of the pair along with the caption: "07.08.09."

Whether you watch Game of Thrones or not, you know it's somewhat of a TV phenomenon.

And when you love the show, you really, really love the show.

So, it's no real surprise that this busker in Town Hall Station in Sydney began absolutely coining it the moment he began playing the theme song from the smash-hit fantasy show.

Violinist Vasiliy Shapkin managed to lift the daily drudgery for these commuters, and by the monetary offerings and round of applause he received at the end, it looks like they were pretty grateful for it.

Prepare yourselves for some serious goosebumps, ladies.

The usual nine-month wait between Game of Thrones seasons is torturous enough, but now it seems we will be waiting even LONGER. 

In the final episode of season six, The Winds of Winter, we saw that after years of waiting, winter finally arrived to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

And while it was expected that Game of Thrones would return to our screens in April 2017 with it's seventh season, it has since been revealed that there will be a delay in filming.

The show's creators, David Benioff and D.B Weiss, recently confirmed our fears in a UFC Unfiltered podcast, saying "We don't have an air date yet, but this year will probably be a little bit later."

Why you ask? 

The creators went on to tell UFC Unfiltered that "We're starting a bit later because at the end of the season, 'Winter is here' – and that means that sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes any more."

"So we kind of pushed everything down the line so we could get some grim grey weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot"

Earlier this year, the award-winning creators confirmed that the two remaining seasons would be shorter than their predecessors – with season seven perhaps only having seven episodes.

ALSO, for all you die-hard fans, the pair have hinted at the return of Gendry, who has not been seen since season three! 

Whatever the wait may be, we are EXCITED!

This might not come as any surprise to the people of the Republic's Rebel County, but it sounds like they have one VERY big fan in the form of Natalie Dormer from none other than Game of Thrones.

It turns out the actress, who plays Margaery Tyrell in the smash-hit HBO show, has a bit of a grá for the People's Republic of Cork, and does her best to visit as often as she can.

Natalie, who says she first fell in love with the southern county when filming The Tudors with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, was discussing the show's sixth series when focus turned to her interest in Co. Cork.

While explaining that she doesn't get to visit our little green isle as much as she'd like, she does admit that she's already earmarked her favourite spots.

"I’ve been to Kinsale and to Baltimore as well and they were both absolutely beautiful," she gushed. "The scenery there, and the landscape, it’s my favourite thing about Ireland. Well, that and the food!"

And while the star, who got engaged to Irish director Anthony Byrne in 2011, is clearly head over heels about Ireland, that doesn't mean she hasn't faced her fair share of challenges when dating an Irish man.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, the 34-year-old actress explained: "There were translation issues in the beginning of the relationship but we worked through them."

"We’re the personification of the Anglo-Irish Agreement. I now know all the Irish idioms. We had long debates about it not being a hot press but an airing cupboard," she added.

Hmmm, sounds like Anthony needs to work a bit harder on that one.

Last week's episode of Game of Thrones threw fans into an absolute frenzie.

It was the most talked about episode of all time, and we were totally emotional by the end of it.

But to make things ten thousand times better, Foley's Bar on Merrion Row in Dublin is celebrating the final episode of the season by throwing a live screening and fancy dress party.

YAAAAS.

According to the bar's Facebook page, there will be "prizes for best dressed, GOT themed drinks, free food and of course the all important FINALE screening."

See you there?

*Warning – this article contains major spoilers*

Last night had us all clinching to the edge of our seats as Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton finally went head to head in one of the most epic TV battles we've ever seen.

Episode nine of every season of Game of Thrones is the most shocking, and last night's ep certainly didn't disappoint. It was HEART POUNDING.

And now there's behind-the-scene footage to see how the Battle of Winterfell actually went down.

To our surprise, it's not all CGI, and a lot of the stunt work is played by the actors themselves – including that insane scene where Jon Snow fights Ramsay and there's a million and one horses racing past him… Well, 80 horses, but still.

Watch and be amazed… And remember SPOILER ALERT:

Just, wow.

Even when the answer is staring you straight in the face, it can be hard to stand your ground and insist you're right as some fans of Game of Thrones recently discovered.

When faced with Maisie Williams, who plays Ayra Stark in the hit HBO show, customers at a local hobby store in Santa Monica were forced to play along and pretend that the young woman in front of them wasn't a high-profile actress at all, but merely a store clerk named Lorraine.

Keen to get their hands on some GoT merch, these baffled fans helped Maisie recreate iconic scenes from the show…all the while trying to ignore the fact they were having an audience with one of the programme's biggest stars.

Seriously lads, our heads would have been melted.

There have been interviews, lie detectors and even official word from HBO that Jon Snow is dead, and yet the world just can't seem to believe it.

But now, a few students who are massive fans of Game of Thrones have worked out an algorithm that proves the chances of Jon Snow dying are very slim.

Scholars at the Technical University of Munich researched the likelihood of a characters' death throughout the series using info from the show, the novels, fan websites and social media pages.

The students analysed the characters by "age, title, gender, number of deceased relations, popularity" and a dozen of other categories, according to Harper's Bazaar.

This is the outcome of most likely to die:

  • Tommen Baratheon: 97%
  • Stannis Baratheon: 96%
  • Daenerys Targaryen: 95%
  • Davos Seaworth: 91%
  • Petyr Baelish: 91%

And these are the least likely:

  • Sansa Stark: 3%
  • Jon Snow: 11% 
  • Cersei Lannister: 16%
  • Mace Tyrell: 18%
  • Roose Bolton: 28%

SEE? Only 11 percent. We just might be on to something here…

In just under a week, the new season of Game of Thrones lands – however they have spoiled us with a NEW teaser trailer.

In the clip, we see Khaleesi, Jamie Lannister and Cersei face different struggles, yet no word on Jon Snow. *Sobs*.

Even though his dead body can be seen, we're wondering if they're tricking us and he ends up coming back in some form or another. Either way, he'll always be alive to us.

Game Of Thrones returns to Sky Atlantic at 9pm on April 24. Eeek!

The official season 6 trailer for the hotly-anticipated sixth season of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones has just landed and it looks truly incredible. 

Due to hit our screens on 24 April, the trailer features all of our favourite characters preparing to fight for their various causes in the upcoming season. 

Oh and the trailer even features a gorgeous song by Irish musician James Vincent McMorrow which is another win for the show which does part of it's filming in Northern Ireland. 

Though we still do not know the true fate of the beloved Jon Snow (and we probably won't for quite some time), the trailer definitely gives us more than enough reason to return to our couches for the new season premiere. 

And it seems that fans of the show are also suitably excited…

We may associate Maisie Williams with being a child star, but she's already 18 and looks every part the woman in her latest cover shoot for In Style. 

The Game of Thrones actress has hinted to having a man on the scene before, but she finally opened up about her relationship. 

"We've been together for over a year. I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious. He's not famous, I met him at school. And now he's my boyfriend.

"People feel it’s strange that someone who’s famous can go out with someone who’s normal. I don’t meet anyone else. 

"Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but I don’t go to all these parties. I don’t meet the other young, male actors. I just like normal people, I guess."

They have already been together a year, but there's still no sign of her secret bae on her social media pages and it seems she would like to keep it that way. 

The star reveals that she struggles with her fame as she is actually quite shy. 

"I don't want to upset anyone.

"But like I said, sometimes I'm really quiet and so I'm stood with a fan and it's like, silence. Sometimes they walk away and I just think, god, they're really disappointed."

However, it certainly seems that the star, who started acting at the age of 13, is really all grown up. 

"I’ve come back to that point where I don’t want to do the 'tits and teeth', but I also don’t want to be angry and mean about everything. I’ll just be somewhere in the middle where I can be myself.

"I always used to say and do the right thing. But as I got older and formed my own opinions, I said things wrong and got in trouble. 

"After going through all of that, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m never going to please everyone and so I should just be happy."

Words of wisdom.
