10 Game of Thrones Actors Confess Who Their Favorite GoT Couples Are

"The pairing I really like is Tyrion and his mercenary right-hand man Bronn. Tyrion and Bronn, their bromance, their relationship, their rapport, is one of the best things. A runner-up would be Tyrion and Varys. I just love their characters' relationship. It's so brilliantly written."

"Samwell and Gilly. They're a good couple. A real couple."

"Anyone else with Dany is not a good couple as far as I'm concerned. Dany and Drogo, Dany and Daario, that was not good. Sam and Gilly, I think their relationship is lovely. You know, it's a complicated relationship, because he saved her from her initial, awful predicament, her life with her father. It's a very sweet relationship, but it's a complex one. I don't find it to be a saccharine relationship. It's a lovely one. So of all the relationships, that would be the one."

"I always had a theory that Ros kind of had a thing for Littlefinger. Her only mistake was underestimating him. I think she secretly harbored a deep longing just to be loved and to have a semblance of a normal life. If she could have her dream, she'd have married Littlefinger and retired from working altogether, had children, and lived happily ever after. [Laughs] Does anyone get to live happily ever after on Game of Thrones?" 

"Renly and Loras. Take away all the royalty, take away all the family, and just let them be together, and be affectionate together. Loras is mine, and that's all I have to say about it! [Laughs]"

"Ooooh! I think it's got to be the original Starks, Ned and Catelyn. They were the original pair. They loved each other so much, and it all went so horribly wrong. Those two are my favorites."

"Jaime's almost one of the purest characters, weirdly, amongst it all. And his change and his education with being with Brienne to becoming a really rounded human being is great."

"Gendry and Arya. Their friendship in the first three seasons is based on the fact that when they met, they were both drifting, seeking something in their lives, and they seemed to serve that purpose for each other. For Arya, perhaps Gendry reminded her of her brothers. For Gendry, perhaps Arya represented a sense of purpose, and maybe even a sense of responsibility, since she shared her secret with him. He was essentially protecting her life, really, because if anyone found out who she was, that would have been it. It would be lovely if their paths could cross again. I used to always feel slightly uncomfortable about that when she was younger, because of the age difference. What was I supposed to say? "Yeah, it would be great if they got together"? But it's implied in the books that that's where the story is going with them, so I guess we'll just have  to wait and see. Gendry and Arya are both very different people from when they last saw each other."

"Bronn has a fantasy of Daenerys, that he would be really good for her, so I'd pair them up. That would be a good team. An interesting team. He'd bring some humor into her life, because she's a bit too serious. And I think she'd be a formidable enough woman to have him be faithful and stick to one woman."

"Dany and Daario, hands down! I kind of don't know how to feel about that, after, you know, the move she pulled on me. Basically dumping me. [Laughs] But they're still my favorite couple. I really like what was happening between Sansa and Reek. Because he had been her family, and then he was tortured, and he changed, and I totally had given up on him. But then Sansa helped him come back. So that is one of the things that is so great about the writing of that show, how characters can rise after they fall."
