In the final moments of Sunday's episode, this loyal servant dies saving Bran Stark (the young paraplegic who always guarded) an army of zombies. The sequence also revealed the character of the condemned to a life of simplicity, sacrifice and a word as vocabulary character.
Hodor is short for hold the door (hold the door), the last sentence that the character heard before collapsing when he was a young man named Wyllis (not much point reading this if you did not see the chapter).
"There is something very nice that I read on the internet: 'Not all heroes hold weapons, some simply hold doors'" said Kristian Nairn, the Irish actor who played 2.10 meters Hodor.
"He proved himself it was not just a joke," said Nairn. "But I want people to remember it both ways because it was also very fun."
This actor 40 years old gained notoriety when he revealed that his character does not appear in the fifth season of GOT, however, he maintained the discretion since her final scene was shot in November. He has spent these months dedicated to his musical career and talks about a possible series of Netflix and diverse film roles.
Tuesday spoke with The New York Times about the fate of Hodor, shared his hypothesis that the character would have been happy with its final and explained why, despite the fluidity with which the series manages the death and resurrection of his characters, not Hodor believes that reappears in the series.
Have you already got used to the idea?
To which? To the being dead and being irrelevant? No. I'm used to being irrelevant, but being dead is something new.
Are you definitely dead?
Yes. I do not think he will survive this attack. For all I know it will stay that way.
Is there a possibility of return as a zombie?
There is always a chance. In fact, it has been very liberating because I have a big mouth and it's hard not to talk about my character. The fact that you can see the rest of the series and not have to hold back because something might escape me is a release. But I do not think I will.
What did you think when you read the script for the episode on Sunday?
It was a double-edged sword for me. Really I wanted to have a good farewell. I do not think, so far, has seen a better end to a character in the series. Of course I cried a little when I read it. Especially because these guys are friends with whom I work. It will be strange not seeing them professionally.
The fact that Bran was responsible not only his death, but what affected the character does it change the nature of your relationship?
No, he does not do it. Although Bran was responsible for the entire chain of events that caused the death of Hodor, he had not protect that door. It was Meera who asked him to hold the door was not Bran. He just wanted to protect the child. That's all I ever did. I think I would have been happy to learn that they could continue without him.
How does it feel to know finally what it means Hodor?
That was great because literally had no idea. All my theories were wrong. So it was great to know that means something. After all I've thought of these years, it is strange that just means hold the door (hold the door).
What was it that affected the brain Hodor?
Bran has some sort of telekinetic force in the brain that exceeds the workings of the mind of animals and obviously Hodor. I think it's almost like when you link a phone call. I think Hodor got caught in the whirlwind and collapsed. It's almost like pressing a reset button on it.
Why do people mourned both his death?
There is nobody like Hodor in "Game of Thrones". No other character with that warmth, humanity and comic touch. People felt bad. It's just a nice guy in the middle of that particular series. I think something that hinted at the beginning of the episode when Jaqen H'ghar Arya asks: "So death comes only by evil and let the good people" because the good Hodor was about to be sacrificed.
How many ways can you say "Hodor"?
There are infinite ways to say but not only focuses on the word. It is also a body language.
You do not mind the fact that, for many people, will always be that character?
Not at all. Some say it's a bad thing. Who would not be happy to play this iconic character in that wonderful series of books? I am happy to be Hodor forever.
Great.
But ask me again in 10 years.
