While on set, although the age gap proved to be no hindrance to their relationship, it certainly could be felt in their antics. When actors spend many hours of the day in the same location with the same people, it makes sense for running gags and inside jokes to emerge between them. That’s what happened with Isaac Hempstead Wright and Kristian Nairn, the former who spent many takes being carried around by the latter in the scenes where his smaller body double was not replacing him.
In the same interview with HuffPost, Nairn also talked about one silly thing his younger castmate would do while on his back. Apparently, Wright would sing, badly and repetitively, the iconic “SpongeBob” theme song in the older actor’s ear.

“I have like a nervous tic when you say that,” Nairn said. “That’s when he’s on my back, man. He’d just sing into my ear, and he can’t sing worth s***. It’s just repetition, repetition, repetition. Drove me crazy, man. When a kid realizes you’ve got like a trigger switch … yeah, lucky me.”
Although it drove the Northern Irish actor crazy, these kinds of shenanigans certainly serve as a testament to the playful camaraderie that came to connect the two “Game of Thrones” cast members.
