If Barack Obama is looking for a post-presidency gig, “Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin has a suggestion.
Martin was asked Tuesday by a commenter on his blog, called Not a Blog, who his “dream guest/cameo” would be. The commenter, with the username RaUL_AMDERLAINE, floated New England Patriots quarterback and friend of President Trump, Tom Brady.
Martin’s reply was Trump’s predecessor, the 44th president.
“Well, Barack Obama would be pretty exciting,” Martin said, who wrote the “Song of Ice and Fire” series upon which the “Game of Thrones” TV show is based. “And actually, he IS a fan of the show.”
Obama has professed that he is a big fan of the HBO fantasy series.
The show’s producers, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, revealed last year that they gave the president early access to season six of the show. “When the commander-in-chief says, ‘I want to see advanced episodes’ — what are ya gonna do?” Benioff said.
Obama made a “Game of Thrones” joke at the 2015 White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
