Game of Thrones bram theory

Another day, another Game of Thrones theory.

As we’re sure you’re aware, we’re only a month away from Season 8 of Game of Thrones.

And because it’s been so long since it has last been on our screens, it’s understandable that fans have been coming up with some outlandish theories…

But Isaac Hempstead Wright, the actor who plays Bran Stark in the series, has just put to bed one theory that has been doing the rounds for absolutely ages.

For some reason, people seem to think that Bran is actually the Night King, and it’s starting to take its toll on Wright.

Speaking to Radio Times, he said: “Whenever I post anything on Instagram I just have a barrage of comments going ‘Night King! Hello Night King! You are Night King! Hello the Night King!’”

“I mean I suppose Bran is quite an interesting character to theorise over because of his whole link to time travel and whatnot. Because you can kind of get away with anything theory-wise and make it sound convincing if you’ve got time travel involved.

“I mean it’s quite an interesting theory, the Night King one,” he said. “I just think it seems a bit obvious. A bit cheesy.”

And in case that’s not enough, we literally saw exactly how the Night King was created in the show. WE WATCHED IT HAPPEN.

Now surely, this is is enough evidence to finally put this theory to bed.

Either that, or we’ve just been thrown a massive curveball and we’re going to look like idiots when Season 8 is released…

Only time will tell.
