[Pop Bitch] Which Game of Thrones cast members have let fame go to their heads so far that they demanded 500 grand each for a two-day advertising shoot this month?
Unsurprisingly, the brand decided to pass and recast.

[Optional] Which actors/actresses from GOT do you think are worth $500k for an advertising shoot?
CatBallou says
Kit Harrington and Peter Dinklage?
I Am PunkA says
Depends on the product and country, but in the USA, none of them are. Not yet, anyway.
delray74 says
Kit and Rose?

Hi Ace and All the Lovely Regulars!
Longtime lurker – first comment!
I suspect this is Maisie Williams … She’s been ranting about the pay gap in wages so that gives me reason to suspect it’s she may be asking for more money elsewhere.
I LOVE THE SITE!

Jon Snow and Cersei
MikeInSanJose says
I would think a couple of the younger ones, who don’t quite appreciate what they’ve got…
Jon Snow & Danaerys Targaryen? Besides Cersei & Tyrion they are the only ones I think would be able to “demand” anything. And I think Dinklage and Headey have been around for a while and know how fickle the industry can be and would be more appreciative of the fact that people want to pay them that they aren’t going to price themselves out of work…
After all, Winter is coming…
MikeInSanJose says
Then again, maybe they just didn’t want the work…

1. I dont think that amount is unreasonable considering the amount that it would return from all media outlets
2. Maisie & Sophie
Raoul Duke says
I dunno maybe Tormand/Brienne (!) & I’d say the GOT cast is underpaid. Those hacks from BBT get a $1 million per episode for the trash they have been producing & I actually used to be a fan til it got flanderized.
Any of the 1st tier actors: Jon/Emilia/Sophie/Peter/Lena/Maisie/Nickolaj
Or fan favorites: Sandor/Brienne/Theon/Varys/Jorah/Tormand. Whoever it was deserved it, the brand missed out. Perfect time to air a commercial before S7. Alfie deserves recognition for his character…
20kim17 says
I know that 2 of the 9 are still active characters, but dont think it’s them

The Two Actors and/or Actresses: I don’t watch the show, but maybe Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke?
paolosand says
The Two Actors and/or Actresses: Emilia Clarke for sure, dunno about the actor, maybe Kit Harington?
Which actors/actresses from GOT do you think are worth $500k for an advertising shoot? Diana Rigg and only Diana Rigg.
exit81 says
Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams.

Lena Headey & Kit Harington?
LC1216 says
I don’t think anyone is worth $500K for 2 days of work, unless you’re doing a job that is life threatening. I think whoever these actors are should be grateful that someone even wants them in their ad, because one day, the offers WILL dry up. They should learn to be more grateful.
LilibetP says
Peter Dink lage is the only one worth that much.
Realistic says
Guess is Nikolaj Caster-Waldeau and The Red Woman (don’t recall her actual name)
The only people who would warrant (and probably get) that amount of money from the cast would be the most well known which would be Peter, Kit, or Emilia.
shesboss says
Well it is an industry based on money, lies and greed. They’re only playing the game. Sounds like politics.
lilmurmaid91 says
Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner?
CyndiTx123 says
Congrats on your first comment !! Wait till your get to be the first one to get a blind item right ! Its an awesome feeling!! Yes, I am a BG Nerd & love it!
guiltywhispers says
Sophie Turner was in an Xmen movie; she might actually be worth that kind of money.
MrFahrenheit says
I’d guess Pedro Pascal as one because of the “fame go their HEADS” clue? Sean Bean for the same reason? I don’t know…
ladyintheradiatorxxx says
Lena Headey (Cersei) and Kit Harrington (Jon Snow)
Scarlo says
Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams.
The older cast members (Kit, Emelia, Lena) seem to have their heads screwed on and are a bit more mature and down to earth. I follow Maisie and Sophie on social media and they do seem to be getting quite arrogant lately. Sophie’s behaviour at the Comic Con panel last year was embarrassing, she was wasted, drinking vodka under the table and made a fool of herself. Very immature.
ArcticFantasy says
Those two always generate a lot of buzz for their “friendship” moments. They just have to talk to each other on the red carpet and there are a dozen blogs about them. So, asking $500k each if both were involved may not be that stupid of them. It would definitely get attention for whatever brand.
ArcticFantasy says
That kind of money just doesn’t seem THAT outrageous for any of the top tier people on the show. Especially if they were getting two of them. Dany and Jon Snow together would be a hugely successful ad well worth $1 million. Same with many combinations. Jon and Sansa, Sansa and Arya, Tyrion and Cersei etc.
With advertising it isn’t about how many days the shoot was but the market you are aiming for. So, this is only insane if it’s not top tier. Maybe Brienne and Tormund?

Worth noting that all the cast members in the image above are male.
