Actor Aidan Gillen, who plays Petyr ‘Littlefinger’ Baelish in Game of Thrones, starring in the music video of Irish punk band Fontaines DC’s new single A Hero’s Death. The band did not have to pay a large sum of money for this, a beer was enough.
Grian Chatten, the front man of Fontaines DC, told Sunday BBC News that he heard that Gillen was a fan of the band. “He saw us perform a few times, so we asked him to play in our clip.”
The actor wanted that. “We didn’t have a lot of budget, but he said we should only buy him a beer,” Chatten said.
Screaming plays in A Hero’s Death a charismatic talk show host whose life gets out of hand when he finds himself being overshadowed by his sidekick.
The accompanying album will be released in July, too A Hero’s Death is going to be called. Chatten says about this: “I thought the idea was quite funny – because I half expect people to dislike it (album, ed.),” Says Chatten. So the idea to it A Hero’s Death to call it a bit of a laugh. “
The title would be an ironic way of acknowledging “difficult second album syndrome”.
