Gleeson's answer was a slightly unexpected one. In short, Vanity Fairreports, he likes the idea of one particular fan theory that suggests no one will end up on the Iron Throne -- because there will be no throne left to end up on.

Taking it further, Gleeson likes the idea that the Throne will be melted down so the Valyrian Steel can be used against the White Walkers that look set to invade Westeros in Season 6.

"I think that's kind of a cool idea," he said. "The monarchy is literally dissolved."
