Winter has arrived. And Tyrion Lannister is here to help!
“Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage is heard playing a snowy Samaritan to a damsel in distress trapped on a muddy slope in Brooklyn.
Linda Stassi, 78, a former New York Post columnist and author, said she was trying to descend an icy staircase in Brooklyn recently but was unable to do so on her own after banging her knee a few days earlier.
She said she saw someone walking but had no idea it was the famous actor who recently starred in “Twelfth Night” to rave reviews at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.
“I saw him from behind,” she told Page Six. “I said, ‘Doctor, can you help me because I can’t get down the stairs?'” he said, explaining that he was injured.
Dinklage began acting like a Frost Responder.
“He ran up the icy stairs and said, ‘Lean on me,'” she said. He reportedly helped her down the smooth stairs, proving that chivalry is not dead.
“It was very wet and icy, and there were also stone steps on top of 70-foot-high brownstone,” she says.
Dinklage’s heroic actions inspired her.
“He couldn’t have been sweeter or cuter. I said he was a saint…I loved him,” she said.
Dinklage took it all in stride, as if it were a snow problem. “I’m glad,” he told her.
The city was covered in snow due to the subsequent blizzard and extremely cold weather. As of Tuesday morning, Central Park had 19.7 inches of snow.
The Stasi’s latest film, “The Descendants,” based on a real-life family that may have been the inspiration for “The Godfather,” will be released on March 10th.
Dinklage has several projects lined up.
He stars in The Wicker, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, alongside Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård. “The S-theads,” also starring Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr., also premiered during the festival.
