‘Game of Thrones’ star talks about show’s fan, Diaz rumors

Danish “Game of Thrones” star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau graces the cover of Details magazine’s April issue — talking in an in-depth interview about his role on the HBO hit series, which returns April 6, the shows fans and rumors that he cheated on his wife with Cameron Diaz.

“There are some very intense fans,” says Coster-Waldau, who plays Jaime Lannister on “GOT.” “We did a premiere last year in Seattle, and I got a taste of it. It was a little claustrophobic. All these people wanting to take a picture with me. One guy was like, ‘do you mind if I take a picture of your shoe? I have a thing with shoes.’

“There’s an expression in Denmark. ‘Don’t fly any higher than your ears will carry you,’” he says about his sudden fame. “It means don’t get cocky. Keep your feet solidly planted on the ground. Don’t think your special. Don’t think you’re better than anyeone else.

“It’s a fundamentally different approach than you have in America.”

He also addresses rumors that he had an affair with Diaz while filming “The Other Woman” last year. “My wife started getting letters from women all over. ‘You should know that your husband is cheating on you with Cameron Diaz. Cameron Diaz is not to be trusted.’ My wife just laughed, but still . . .”
