Barack Obama Names His Favorite ‘Game of Thrones’ Character
In a sprawling new interview for GQ, President Barack Obama sits down with Bill Simmons to discuss his first seven years in office, basketball, raising teenagers and Game of Thrones, among other things.
When Simmons asks Obama his “guiltiest-pleasure TV show,” the president responds, “Probably the guiltiest pleasure—and this is kind of lame—is Big Break. You know, on the Golf Channel? Which is kind of a silly show. [laughs] But I find it really relaxing.”
However, he soon admits, “I do love Game of Thrones.” When asked which character he identifies with, Obama says, “My favorite character is probably…the dwarf, what’s his name? … The problem with Game of Thrones, though, is that I don’t remember the names of any of the characters.”
