IT is said in the book and in the fantasy drama TV series Game of Thrones that “a Lannister always pays his debts.”

When actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister, arrived for filming scenes for season five at Alcázar Palace in Seville, Spain, he was denied entry.

Sections of the hugely popular tourist attraction have been off limits to the public as the scenes are filmed and security is tight.

When Coster-Waldau, who is from Denmark, asked palace staff to enter, he was asked to show his ticket, The Local reported.

Instead of throwing a tantrum, Coster-Waldau returned to the ticket office, paid his €9.50 ($14) admission fee and re-entered.

“He didn’t say anything,” one of the staff who checks tickets at the palace — the oldest royal residence in Europe still in use — said later.
