A Smile Worth a Thousand Laughs
In Game of Thrones, Tormund's flirtatious smirk towards Brienne was meant to be funny and endearing, but it turned out to be a bit creepy. Actress Gwendoline Christie's reactions to Tormund's advances were unscripted, and she played it off well, creating a memorable and entertaining scene. While it may have been uncomfortable for Brienne's character, it added an unexpected element to the show and showed the improvisational skills of the actors.
Kristofer Hivju, who played Tormund, was aware that his approach to the scene was not as intended, but he went with it, making his character even more memorable. The scene became a fan-favorite, with many viewers hoping for a romantic pairing between Brienne and Tormund. The fact that the scene was not entirely planned but instead arose from an improvised moment highlights the creativity and quick-thinking of the actors.
