An exciting development for Indian fans of Game of Thrones is that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who is well-known throughout the world for playing Jaime Lannister in the popular HBO series, was recently seen savouring a traditional South Indian breakfast at Bengaluru's well-liked Rameshwaram Cafe.
Shakira, a content creator, was filming herself for an Instagram reel at the cafe's Rajajinagar location when the unexpected sighting happened. In a Westeros-worthy turn of events, she found the well-known Danish actor sitting directly behind her, peacefully enjoying a plate of idlis and dosas with two other passengers.
“So I was at @therameshwaramcafe, Bengaluru when I was randomly filming myself and just found @nikolajwilliamcw aka Jaime Lannister from @gameofthrones standing just behind me – it was a star-struck moment,” she wrote in the caption.
The reel, now widely circulated, also features a selfie with the actor, who was seen dressed casually in a black shirt and a hat. Coster-Waldau, true to his gracious demeanour, happily posed for the picture — much to the fan’s astonishment and delight.
The Rameshwaram Cafe’s official Instagram account also joined in on the excitement. Sharing a photo of the actor with his entourage, they wrote, “A star-studded moment at The Rameshwaram Cafe, Rajajinagar! Today, we had the absolute honour of hosting the incredibly talented Nikolaj William Coster-Waldau and his team... We are beyond thrilled to have shared this special day with you.”
From 2011 to 2019, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau played Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones for eight seasons, which made him a household name. He gained a large following worldwide and critical acclaim for his nuanced performance.

The actor will now play a significant historical role in King and Conqueror, the BBC's upcoming epic that tells the tale of King Harold and William the Conqueror. In the thriller The Last Thing He Told Me, he co-stars with Jennifer Garner.
For Bengaluru fans, however, this unplanned encounter was nothing short of cinematic serendipity.
