Dead (or not) he is and forever be the greatest character of the story, those who hate him don't understand the true face of the story, he incarnated the game, he was The Game of Thrones. Aidan Gillen just wow !

Littlefinger pretending to be an Irish actor. Don’t trust him

He seems much more relaxed and at ease than he usually does in interviews! He had an awesome sense of humor here!

man, knowing that Aidan created the voice of Baelish makes it so much better. That character was one of the most intriguing, and he was the perfect man for the job. Great work!

He seems to be in such a good mood during this interview usually he seems very closed off and almost slightly irritated or cold whereas here he’s warm opening and seems genuinely happy to be there

I think this is the best of all Aidan’s interviews. Thank you for posting ! He seems really happy :)

In the game of thrones, the players are Little Finger and Varys

He's who I was rooting for to win the whole thing.

If the show was 100% made using Martin's material, Littlefinger would be alive. It's death was so weak compared to the greatness of his action in all the previous seasons that it would be impossible to accept it as true. However, the tv show has long departed from the quality of Martin's writing. They took many shortcuts simply because there are too many characters around and the end of the show is near. For this reason, I think it is possible that Littlefinger is actually dead. But I hope he has been a Faceless man from beginning (never using his real face from start, thus being able to give it to someone else)

I didn't expect this from triple j. The ending was gold

Sometimes when I try to understand a person’s motives I play a little game. I assume the worst...

Aidan is an awesome actor, I was so attracted to his character, you knew what he was and he drew you in, love him or hate him Aidan and Maisie were incredible for me.

Love him or hate him (both for me) without Littlefinger, Game Of Thrones would have been one season.

He was amazing as Littlefinger. Varys and Littlefinger ran the game and I loved that. ;-;

I met him while they were filming the wire . I live in Baltimore and he was playing the mayor. He was really cool to everyone. Great job on the wire. He's lucky he got killed on got. It's killing itself now.

"Sansa are you the queen?" "Yes Petyr, you can leave the room and stop hiding"

Love them or hate them, Petyr Baelish and Varys were the embodiment of Game of Thrones. Everybody else were their pawns.

Brilliant actor, nailed the part.

Littlefinger is alive living in Bravos

oh come on! everyone knows Arya has his face in her bag.... we'll see you again!

nice little roleplay at the end =)

Boom, littlefinger aint dead and is probably the faceless assassin.

I am not expert in body language and I am probably reading into things too much but he is so sketchy when mentioning his characters status as being dead. I REALLY want littlefinger to be alive so I am riding on this hunch.

Wish they leaked Season 8's script so we could've protested it.

Littlefinger hired a faceless man after Bran said the “chaos is a ladder” line.

They proper freak him out at the end 🤣

I love how he's trying to keep up the facade. He obviously isn't dead 😂

I wish he is alive! I miss him already 😍

Without the mustache he just goes right back to being Tommy Carcetti for me

That end was perfect. Little finger influenced how I interact with people now. Not the bad stuff just reading into people’s motives. He will be missed.

His character in Peaky Blinders is also scary, him as Aberama Gold!

He is a personification of what it means to be so hungry with power. That scene where he stares for hours at the iron throne and imagine himself what it's like to sit there is really an apt description of many politicians today.

Little finger is/was the master mind of game of thrones, without him there is no game of thrones.

acting skills on point ;) guess thats why he was chosen for the role of the greatest protagonist of all time

I love his character. I mean he absolutely nailed it, when he speaks with Lord Varys I just sit back and enjoy the incredible acting and writing.

Littlefinger is the best character of the series! I would love to meet him! Crazy that he thinks about what a civilian would say when they run into "Littlefinger" in the middle of the street lol

This is my first time seeing Aiden out of character. Didn’t expect him to be so cool and charming like James Dean

amazing actor and brought life to his character. Bravo Aidan!

Aidan reminds me of the American actor who died young- James Dean, this might be what Dean would have been like had he survived - Aidan has the same charisma that Dean had and similar looks - both brilliant actors

I love the way Aidan portrayed the role of Petyr Baelish, so cunning, sly perfect role for him! Bravo Aidan Gillen!

He is not dead for sure

hahaha. Love me some Aiden Gillen. Hes also great on Project Blue Book.

Littlefinger admits he leaked the episodes.. Sounds believable cause it is perfectly in character for him to do so.

I would want to know which actors he’s good friends with, I bet him and Sophie turner are decent friends after spending a few seasons filming together a lot, maybe Conleth Hill with their whole rivalry relationship.

I laughed really hard when he said, "Ok it was me (who leaked the scripts)."

little finger was my favourite character.

Littlefinger? It's CIA!

How can you hate this guy ? From the mayor of Baltimore to the lord of Harenhall and Vale,Baelish has done it all

Brilliant actor and character. Well done, sir. Well done.

I was his neighbour for 2 years and occasionally walked past him but was too afraid to say anything to him lol. Not because he was Baelish but because hes probably sick of people stopping him.

Liam calling the moon door a "sky hole", I am cackling

littlefinger was one of my favorites from the very beginning, im currently reading the books and i can't imagine petyr as anything other than aidan

I hope that last part was scripted, cause Aiden genuinely looked confused and uncomfortable there...

Great end of interview. He was stunned!

I love Littlefinger! LOL I sure hope Aidan Gillen was in on the joke at the end.

- "The realm. Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies, a story we agree to tell each other over and over, until we forget that it's a lie. " - "Chaos is a ladder" Fucking epic lines by Little Finger that really set the tone of this amazing Show ! He was one of the big players in the Thrones Game. But now we have season 8 that ruined all the greatness built up so far. Thanks D&D for your stupidness

Littlefinger is alive and is using Bran's face to rule the Seven Kingdoms (following season 7 and pairing it with the events of season 8) Just remember that in season 7 there were many scenes that could only have as purpose to explain LF's fake death, like the scene with LF giving to the faceless woman (?) a coin from Braavos. Now we know for sure this because in season 8 this woman didn't have any relevance, so the only mystery hiding behind this scene can be LF's being alive. To explain why Bran can't choose to become king it's a task of hard rational thinking. To explain Bran's behaviour after he became the Three Eyed Raven, the best thing to say it's that his experience was mixed with all of the experiences (or history) in the world in present and past, meaning that he has no longer has a personality and that he's not a human anymore (even when having a lot of knowledge, he isn't capable of giving affection or showing free will). When Bran says that Chaos is a Ladder, he's actually referring directly to LF's phrase. The reason of why does he think in a similar way that LF does, it's because he has seen through all of his history, and may have concluded that his way of thinking and acting it's the best for the Seven Kingdoms. If Bran can do the same as LF, why can't he be ruler of the Seven Kingdoms? It's because, as I said before, he doesn't has free will. When Bran became the Three Eyed Raven, all of the knowledge from the past Three Eyed Raven was transferred to him, but that means that their objectives were transferred as well. The previous Raven hadn't never contacted any human in a thousand years, and he only did it when the NK was coming, meaning that his only purpose it's to maintain the records of history and to defeat the NK. Bran can't decide to live his own life because he can't change the history and probably, to stay safe, he had to return where no one could ever find him (because he could get killed at any moment, or not be capable of avoiding his death). That means that, because Bran is the Three Eyed Raven, he can't have the role to rule the human world. Consider that even if this seems really strange, remember that writers are just playing with the little bits of information that we had about the Raven, so putting Bran as the king is a good trick on their part, because if LF was the king it would be tough to understand and LF and Bran are very similar, anyways (LF is the main villain but they don't want to tell us that he is also the protagonist, it would be a big spoiler for the books) Another small explanation it's that the magic creatures are supposed to have some limitations. One of the limitations of Bran, for example, is that he can't see the future, only predict it with some certainty through visions. Like LF said, the future is something we have seen before. If Bran is supposed to have some limitations, he can't have the most powerful position in GoT because he's the most powerful magical character after the dragons. It would be an incoherence to his role and would lost any kind of comparison to the real life, because there's no king that knew all about past and present, and had that kind of omnimiscent powers. For what I´ve said before, if Bran considers LF to be a good ruler, then there's no reason to kill him. When he accused him of betraying Ned Stark, he was just pretending that he didn't know about LF faking his death (he didn't even cared about the crimes he made), and didn't alert anyone from this fact later in the series. LF waited to Daenerys and Jon to lose their position as the rightful rulers, and before Bran was chosen, he changed positions with Bran (probably Bran contacted him first through visions, letters, etc.). If LF didn't knew how to use a face from the alive (he could have because his grandfather was from Braavos and he had a connection to the faceless man), Bran could have shown him how to do it, because he knows everything about the faceless man. There are a lot more of hints and details that can proof this hidden ending, like when you see Bran smiling in a very Littlefingerish way, but you know that Bran can't actually smile. Probably is the most powerful detail in the last episode. Remember: the devil is in the details. The true masterpiece of the GoT's writing is hiding in the shadows lol I´m just a big fan of GoT and I want to reveal what a masterpiece were those writers hiding to use (and maybe also ruining their plans lol).

I'm convinced he's still alive after seeing him hand over that coin to the lady under the arch.

Did u notice how he said ”i wouldn’t have access to any of those scripts” as in he would not have access to them if he was dead.

Today, I was on the Bus coming home from town with friends here in Dublin. I look out the back and think "that man looks very familiar" and realises Holy shit that's Aidan Gillen, but my friends don't believe me so I say "I swear to god that is Aidan fucking Gillen, I'm getting off this bus". So I get off the bus on my own walk up to the guy and say "are you Aiden Gillen?" and it was him! He replied "sometimes I am" lol such a nice guy got a picture with him and talked about music funnily enough, what a weird day!

Lord Baelish understood how the game was played but outsmarted himself by never having any loyal soldiers to kill for him.

Littlefinger and Cersei ALWAYS had those arrogant smirks on their grills pretty much the Whole Series.

Was being on Triple j part of your plan?

I will keep on believing Aidan is little finger because I really love little finger lol.

don't forget he is also Lord Nelson Rathbone

I have the Game of Thrones calendar for 2019. Littlefinger is March. So he must be alive.

Aiden Gillen, amazing actor! Aberama Gold, Peaky Blinders! 🇮🇪

I love this. Long live the Balish!!!!

Damn he still have his throat intact.

Best character in game of thrones.If they wanted him to stay dead then why did they show the scene where he gives that girl the braavos coin?I have high hopes that he will return in season 8 but i dont trust benioff and weiss at all so lets just wait and see

Aidan is so handsome and talented. 😍

That ending completely surprised me lmao

Yep i think Varys still has something big going on behind the scenes...

To me, he will always be running for mayor

Thing is, in order for him not to be dead, he would have to be littlefinger in real life, to convince everyone that he is actually dead, and if he even said ONE WORD that would leak that he is alive, HBO would literally kill him and cut his throat in real live. They would not risk him going to such a show, cuz he might leak it. I wish littlefinger was alive, but he wont be.

@1:43 that laugh is golden

Who ever cast the game of thrones really was good at their job, pretty well all the main cast are just so convincing, you either really want to see them live or really can't wait to see them die, they put many feature film actors to shame which is one of the reasons I hardly watch movies anymore.

SPOILER: Hey, he ruled out the possibility that Aria comes back as little finger as many have speculated. The actor Aiden would have to had read scripts if Aria dressed up as Little Finger.

Littlefinger is the type of character who at any second could be sniffing Sansa's hair and remark "mmmmm, ahhhhh. You smell like your mother, my dear. "

you know why he said see you in hell.. because the name baelish was taken from the name bael..which means lucifer.. like little finger starts with the letter l and ends with letter r same like lucifer.. and you know what was lucifer's greatest trick? making people believe that he was dead..

Should have asked him about his other work like Project Blue Book as well

Spoiler Alert skip season 8 episode 3. I'm still trying to forget that episode happened!

See you in hell. Lmfao, perfect ending.

Littlefinger starring as Aidan Gillen

what a good interview/show. good interactions all around. *in my chair applause*

For you.

Please come back in S8 alive Lord Baelish! There's no way you have died by that little psychopath named Arya. Just makes no sense at all.

little finger? what?? that's thomas carcetti 🤔🤔

The greatest trick the devil ever performed was convincing the world that he doesnt exist. I strongly believe he will be a big part of season 8 and is still alive.

He ain't dead!

Well, there goes the Littlefinger isn't dead theory

Anyone who is a fan of Aiden should watch an Irish television drama called Love/Hate

"Going to enjoy watching it" oh you poor summer child..

Fantastic actor, always has been

Handsome ,mysterious actor.

Reminds me a lot of Ed Norton... another great actor.

he's not dead though.

"What's a grub?" 😂😂😂 I'm dead

lmbo that bit at the end was hilarious!!!! lmbo

Lets start a comb me fund for this man!
