Game of Thrones: Hodor étoile, star Kristian Nairn admits it was 'great' when Jon Snow got stabbed 

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the 39-year-old Northern Irish star admitted that he wasn\'t one bit sorry watching the honourable leader of the Night\'s Watch getting brutally murdered by his own brothers-in-arms in the season five finale.   

"I actually thought ‘great’. Just to get things straight, I love Kit and I love his portrayal of Jon Snow but I’m not a huge fan of the character. So I was like: ‘Kill him! Kill him!’," Kristian confessed.

"He’s boring and there’s so many better characters on Game of Thrones. You’ve killed better characters than that. I didn’t understand all the weeping and wailing, so I say get rid of him. So who knows what’s going to happen though."

Season five was the first year that Bran and Hodor\'s storyline was put to one side as other events across the realm took centre stage. It was the first time since the medieval fantasy series began that the characters were not included, and Kirstian admitted that he had no idea about what was coming until it was broadcast earlier this year.

"It was the first season I truly was in the dark about. I did not know about them. I still haven’t watched it. I know the big plot lines now mostly through Facebook, obviously my friends have told me what’s been happening, so I’m pretty much caught up," he said.

Although he has not yet seen season five, he sought out Cersei\'s walk of shame after he heard about it - and the scene proved to be more shocking than he had anticipated and much more distressing than seeing Jon Snow getting killed.

"I watched the scene with Cersei walk through the city. I just couldn’t believe it. I heard about it.

"I wasn’t particularly affected by it until I saw it and it starts off being quite mild and it just ramps up and ramps up. By the end of it, it’s just horrifying. You feel so bad for her. How can this get worse? It just keeps getting worse," the actor explained.  

Kristian said he is looking forward to going back

Kristian Nairn spent his year off from Game of Thrones travelling and doing DJ gigs

During his year off Kristian, who is mainly a DJ rather than an actor, spent most of his time travelling the world for gigs and focusing on his music career. But that didn\'t stopping feeling like he was "missing out". He said he is "happy to go back" but was tight-lipped on when he would start filming.  

Kristian briefly spoke about the highly-anticipated year ahead and dropped hints that he knew exactly what\'s in store for Brand and the three-eyed raven. 

"I think we’ve got some pretty cool stuff ahead of us. I love our storyline. I missed it last season, so I’m excited to see where it’s going to go."
