Winter has arrived, and with it, Tyrion Lannister is poised to save the day!
Peter Dinklage, renowned for his role in “Game of Thrones,” donned the mantle of a snowy savior for a woman in need, stuck on an icy stoop in Brooklyn, according to reports.
Linda Stassi, a 78-year-old former columnist for the New York Post and author, recounted her recent struggle to descend icy steps in Brooklyn. Her efforts were hampered by a knee injury from a few days prior.
Initially unaware of his identity, she spotted a passerby, who happened to be the acclaimed actor Dinklage, fresh from his lauded performance in “Twelfth Night” at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.
“I only saw him from behind,” she shared with Page Six. “I called out, ‘Sir, Sir, could you please assist me? I can’t navigate the stairs.’ She added that she informed him of her injury.
Dinklage then leapt into action like a frost responder.
“He ran up the stairs, which were icy and he said ‘Lean on me’,” she told us. We’re told he helped her down the slick steps, proving chivalry is not dead.
“It was very wet and icy, plus those stone stairs they have on those brownstones that are 70 feet high,” she tells us.
Dinklage’s heroism swept her off her feet.
“He couldn’t have been nicer or cuter. I told him he was a saint… I loved it,” she said, “I fell madly in love with him.”
Dinklage took it all in stride like it was snow problem. “My pleasure,” he told her.
The city has been covered in snow after subsequent snowstorms and frigid temps. On Tuesday morning, snowfall in Central Park hit 19.7 inches.
Stassi’s latest book “The Descendant” based on the real-life family that may have inspired “The Godfather,” comes out March 10.
Dinklage has several projects coming up.
He stars in “Wicker,” which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, along with Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård. “The Shitheads,” also starring Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr., also debuted during the film festival.
