This is surely a weighty issue!

There were a number of incredible stunts, daring escapes, and brutal-looking combat scenes in the latest episode of Game of Thrones, as seven brave heroes, a few redshirts, one queen and three dragons tried to fight off the Night King and the army of the undead. But you might have missed the one stunt that took a surprisingly terrible toll on series star Rory McCann aka The Hound.

The actor confessed, “I can‘t tell you exactly how but I had this guy on my shoulder for days and days – it didn’t work with a dummy so I had to carry a real guy and we had to run and run…no wonder I’m tired.”

If you thought the sight of Jon Snow and the rest keeping their footing on that icy dash was impressive, imagine McCann having to carry a full-grown man imitating a snarling wight!
