(10,575 posts)The character that gave the biggest sigh of relief was none other than Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), who’s been subjected to one degradation after another at the hands of the evil bastard. Turner famously compared the character to Justin Bieber—the power-drunk Canadian teen pop star.
“Joffrey, at the beginning of the series, is seen in public as the typical ‘eligible bachelor,’ he's a prince, he's handsome and he's famous in the world of Westeros, as is Justin Bieber in our world,” Turner tells The Daily Beast.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Joffrey’s biological father (and uncle), Jaime Lannister, was a little more bullish on the Bieber comparison, but saw some parallels as well.
“Do not give an 18-year-old power, or too much fame or wealth, because it’s very difficult to not get messed up,” says Coster-Waldau. “I don’t want to jump on the [Justin Bieber] bandwagon, but I think it happens even more in that industry where suddenly you have so many adults around you and they’re saying ‘yes’ to everything, and it’s not healthy. It’s not a healthy thing to have too many tongues up your ass.”
