Aaron Rodgers Makes 'Game of Thrones' Cameo Appearance as a Golden Company Soldier

Surprise!

With just one episode left before the series finale ofGame of Thrones, Green Bay Packers quarterbackAaron Rodgersmade a cameo as a soldier for the Golden Company army supporting Cersei Lannister at King’s Landing.

Although Rodger’s cameo may have felt out of the blue, the 35-year-old NFL star, who’s a big fan of the series, has been droppingcryptic hintsabout the appearance for quite some time now. And just before the episode began, he dropped yet another one.

Last month, following the second episode of the final season, while cautioning fans fromspreading spoilers, he teased that there was a very exciting episode coming up.

“24 hour rule still applies folks, for all those who thought there were better things to do tonight than watch @GameOfThrones,” he tweeted, before sharing that he wasn’t one of them.

Snuck into a hashtag at the very end, Rodgers wrote that with just four episodes to go, “episode 5 should be good.”

Ahead of the start of season 8, Rodgers also starred in a promo video for HBO, which featured the starsitting upon the Iron Throne.

“I’m Lord Aaron of House Rogers of Greenwater Bay, the true king of the north,” he introduced himself, making a subtle illusion to his longtime team.

However, although Rogers has been a fan of the show for a long time, he readily admitted he hasn’t always been right when it comes topredicting the show’s juicy moments.

“Overthe years I’ve tweeted out or said on various shows some of my theories about the game of thrones plot twists, and they’re usually wrong,” he shared, before adding, “There’s only one game that really matters:Game of Thrones!”

With his appearance on the series, Rodgers joins an illustrious list ofhigh-profileGame of Thronescameos, which includes country starChris Stapleton,Always Sunny in Philadelphiastar Rob McElhenney, and singerEd Sheeran.
