"People really started to have a go at me around season six, when Bran became the Three-Eyed Raven. I remember getting a torrent of abuse after Hodor died, like it was my fault. Suddenly people decided to attack my appearance. They were like: ‘what happened to your nose?’ I was like: ‘I don’t know!’ Whenever you’re really self-loathing you can delve into this cesspit of Instagram messages that people send you. I got one from this guy going: 'hi, I’m a plastic surgeon. I’d be really interested in doing some rhinoplasty on you.' I was like: fucking hell!" —Isaac Hempstead Wright Photographed for Esquire UK (May 2019)

“I truly believe we’ve created something so unique and televisually unparalleled that it would be sacrilege if we tried to do another season. This is the absolute pinnacle of Thrones, and that’s the thing. It’s a story, and stories have their conclusions. We could do 10 more seasons of this and people would watch it and everyone would make loads of money, but it’s time for the story to end.” — Isaac Hempstead Wright for Rollacoaster Magazine (Spring/Summer 2019)

“Looking back retrospectively, I can just see how fucking weird my childhood’s been. It’s literally my adolescence! I’ve become a man on Thrones.“ — Isaac Hempstead Wright for Rollacoaster Magazine (Spring/Summer 2019) 

“We’ve watched Isaac grow from an adorable and ridiculously well-behaved kid into a handsome and ridiculously well-behaved young man." says David Benioff. "He often inadvertently makes us feel stupid, whether he’s attempting to describe his studies in mathematics or playing piano with sublime skill. If he wants to be an actor, he’s already proven he has the chops. But we could easily imagine him teaching in a university somewhere, or writing the Great English Novel.” —Isaac Hempstead Wright Photographed for Esquire UK (May 2019)

What’s one thing we need to know about Bran going into this season? Well, Bran is the Three-Eyed Raven now, which in many ways is a different person than Brandon Stark. So, I think it’s important to know that Bran is really on a mission now. He has learned quite a few valuable lessons, especially in Season 6, about going into visions alone. And I think now he has had to mature very suddenly into, not just an adult, but like an ancient, wise old man, basically. (x)

“[On the end of Game of Thrones] It’s going to have been pretty much half my life when it’s finished. It’s going to be so bizarre, like leaving school all over again. It’s kind of a bittersweet thing because it’s such a tight-knit family…and it’s also, you know, the end of gainful employment.” — Isaac Hempstead-Wright Photography by Drew Jarrett
