In case you ever wondered what things are like behind the scenes on the set of Game of Thrones, you should know they’re not as dark and twisted and mysterious as the show itself is (thank God). As it turns out, the stars of the show like to have fun in between filming takes, and sometimes that happens, hilariously, at each other’s expense.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister, just did a sit-down withMashable in which he spilled the beans on one of the meanest yet most hilarious pranks we’ve ever heard of being pulled off. The victim? One Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow on GoT.
“I think the funniest one I remember was the writers, they gave Kit Harington a script where he — where Jon Snow was in a fire,” Coster-Waldau explained. “And he survived the fire, but his whole face had been burned off. And Kit believed it and he was like, ‘Oh man, that’s just… Ugh. I’m going to be in prosthetics for like, every day. Fuck. Oh God.’ And that was funny.”
