Man Of Steel

Joe Dempsie on fake snow, fat horses and blacksmith Gendry’s claim to the iron throne…

- 

As Cersei and Daenerys fight it out for the Iron Throne, spare a thought for Gendry, the likeable King’s Landing blacksmith played by Joe Dempsie. As the illegitimate child of Robert Baratheon, could he possibly end up ruling the Seven Kingdoms?

He seemed to have vanished from the show until Ser Davos came to find him at his forge at the end of last season and took him on a mission beyond the Wall to capture an undead creature. We spoke to Dempsie about Gendry’s prospects in the show’s final season…

What’s Gendry up to in this week’s episode?
