Iwan Rheon plays a power-hungry bookie Tenax in the new Peacock show Those About to Die.
Fans of Game of Thrones will know just how power-hungry Iwan’s GoT character Ramsay Bolton was. But the characters share more than that one trait, they’re both also psychopaths and don’t mind killing for their advantage.
So, who’d win a fight between the duo?
Iwan has answered the question himself, siding with the wiser of the two.
“I think Tenax wins,” he told Variety.
He explained: “I think Ramsay would make a mistake. You certainly wouldn’t want to mess with Ramsay in any case, but I think Tenax has a cool head about him, and, at some point, would draw Ramsay in.”
He added of his Game of Thrones character, “Ramsay’s just an idiot, really. He’s a psychopath. He doesn’t have any empathy. But Tenax is very empathetic, which means something — even if he doesn’t really show it.”
“It would be a good fight though,” he noted.
Those About to Die is developed by Robert Rodat and directed by Roland Emmerich and Marco Kreuzpaintner. The series boasts an ensemble cast as follows: Anthony Hopkins as Vespasian, Dimitri Leonidas as Scorpus, Jojo Macari as Domitian Flavianus, Gabriella Pession as Antonia, Sara Martins-Court as Cala.
Those About to Die is streaming on Peacock and Amazon Prime Video with all 10 videos.
