Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett did a double-take when he spotted Game of Thrones legend Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, famously known for playing Jaime Lannister, in the crowd.
Barrett, clearly caught off guard, couldn’t help but crack a smile as he recognized the iconic actor. The sighting sparked buzz among fans both for Barrett’s amusing reaction and the crossover of basketball with Game of Thrones fandom.
Seeing the Kingslayer himself in the stands was a rare treat, adding an unexpected touch of Hollywood magic to the night and leaving Barrett – and the crowd – starstruck.
