GAME OF THRONES

- ILLUSTRATI­ON JACEY

As the fantasy show heads into its final chapter — the two-part Season 7 — three Hollywood stars tell us how they’re feeling

SAMUEL L. JACKSON _ “I don’t have any real prediction­s — I like to be surprised. I read all the books and I’m still kinda pissed that homeboy hasn’t written the last two. I actually only started to read them because I wanted to see Joffrey dead so bad — I had to know that motherfuck­er died. And then I just kept on reading. I just want the show to be as exciting and intriguing as it always has been. But I do think it would be too easy for it to end up being Jon Snow or Daenerys on the throne. It’s going to be more interestin­g than that.”

OCTAVIA SPENCER _ “Game Of Thrones is my decompress­ing time. I want to be alone and I don’t want any noise. If there’s any yelling and screaming at the TV, it’s me: “OH MY GOD! WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?!” I’m totally that person. I think Daenerys and Jon are going to turn out to be sister and brother. And I think they’re going to team up to defeat Cersai and take the Iron Throne. They couldn’t do it without Tyrion — he’s the strategy dude. And the dragons are a key element. They’re going to help defeat the armies.” DAISY RIDLEY _ “My opinion on the next season? There will be sex and killing and many breasts. I’m friends with Gwen [Christie] and I text her all the time. She’s probably like, ‘Oh my God, can she stop texting me?’ Here’s what I think will happen. The one-eyed raven or the three-eyed raven, he will be around. Khaleesi will have some dragons. And Gwen will kill some people.” NICK DE SEMLYEN
