"I read some of the screenplay, though, in our dressing room," he shared. "I went in, he had to do some reshoots for Fifty Shades and I would help him out learning lines.

"I would read the Dakota Johnson parts. I was just helping a friend learn lines. I nailed it. I really did."

As host Colbert began to compare Thrones fans to those who hold Fifty Shades dear to their hearts, Dinklage noted: "Very different fans. I think Game of Thrones fans would take issue with comparing the two because Game of Thrones fans are very specific and lovely.

"Fifty Shades fans have issues," he joked. "It's all suppressed issues, I think."

Meanwhile, the actor – who starred in last year's critical smash Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri has also shared some details on Tyrion Lannister's conclusion in Thrones' upcoming eighth season.

He said: "I feel very, very... I'm trying to find the right word. I think he was given a very good conclusion. No matter what that is - death can be a great way out."

Game of Thrones season 8 will premiere in 2019. The show airs on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK. Season 7 is now available to buy on DVD, Blu-ray or digital download.
