‘Game of Thrones’ star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau spotted at Bengaluru’s Rameshwaram Cafe

Visitors at Bengaluru’s popular Rameshwaram Cafe were in for a surprise this weekend when Game of Thrones actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau was seen dining at the iconic eatery. Known for his role as Jaime Lannister in the HBO fantasy drama, the Danish actor was spotted enjoying idlis and dosas during his visit.

The sighting was shared by a Bengaluru-based content creator named Shakira, who posted a video on Instagram showing the actor in the background as she filmed herself at the cafe. In her caption, she wrote, “It was a star-struck moment,” noting that Coster-Waldau was casually dressed in a black shirt and hat, blending in with the crowd.

The actor was reportedly polite and posed for a selfie with Shakira after she approached him. The clip quickly gained attention online, with fans joking about his character and reminiscing about the fantasy series, which aired from 2011 to 2019. Later, the official Instagram account for Rameshwaram Cafe also posted the visit, with the caption, “Thank you for choosing to experience our authentic South Indian flavours we are beyond thrilled to have shared this special day with you”.

One user joked, “That’s clearly not Jaime Lannister. He lost his right hand in season 3.” Others expressed their envy, with comments like, “The only time I would’ve loved to be at Rameshwaram Cafe.”

This is not the first time Coster-Waldau has been seen in connection with Indian creators. Last year, he appeared in a video with actor and YouTuber Prajakta Koli in New York, where they discussed climate issues.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is set to appear next in King and Conqueror, a historical drama series premiering on BBC, and The Last Thing He Told Me opposite Jennifer Garner.
