Of all unresolved storylines in the show’s eight-year run, the mystery of the coffee cup cameo remains possibly the most captivating subplot to emerge during the final season of “Game of Thrones.”
And that plot thickens: Six months after the series ended, fans have been led to believe by actor Emilia Clarke, 33, who portrayed Daenerys Targaryen, that her co-star Conleth Hill was the culprit.
“We had a party before the Emmys recently, and Conleth, who plays Varys, who’s sitting next to me in that scene, he pulls me aside and he’s like, ‘Emilia, I have got to tell you something, love. The coffee cup was mine,’ ” the star told Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” recently.
But on Sunday, Hill denied Clark’s accusations on Britain’s Channel 4, saying, “You know, there’s no proof that I did it. So accuse away.”
He told the broadcaster he would have needed “Mr. Man arms,” in reference to a British children’s book character who had very long arms, to be able to plant the paper cup.
“I took a bullet for Emilia Clark ,and she touted me,” Hill, 54, joked. “I’m just not making any comments until I have a lawyer.”
He also added that the brew blooper “definitely wasn’t product placement.”
Hill isn’t the only “GoT” star caught in the crosshairs. This summer, Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark, pegged Kit Harington a k a Jon Snow for the flub — apparently changing her tune after originally accusing Clarke.
The to-go cup gaffe, which was shortly followed by yet another goof featuring a plastic water bottle in the show’s finale, did creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss no favors amid nonstop controversy and debate as to whether the award-winning showrunners had blundered in the highly anticipated final season. The coffee cup was later removed from the episode, although that didn’t appease the 1.7 million fans who signed a petition agreeing that the cup, the bottle and the entire eighth season should be scrapped to make way for “competent writers.”
