Philippa Waldau Faq: Everything Fans Want to Know About Nikolaj's Daughter
By Robert Thorne
When HBO's fantasy epic exploded into a worldwide ratings powerhouse between 2011 and 2019, household dynamics inside the Coster-Waldau residence remained remarkably unchanged. Nikolaj established strict household rules regarding what his daughters were permitted to watch.
Speaking to the New York Post in April 2016, Nikolaj explained that he adamantly refused to let his young daughters watch Game of Thrones. The show's relentless graphic violence, incestuous plotlines, and brutal character deaths were hardly appropriate viewing for young teenagers. Seeing their father play a morally conflicted, maimed knight in lethal confrontations risked breaking down the boundary between performance and domestic reality. Nikolaj routinely quipped in Danish press interviews that his kids found the idea of watching their dad pretend to be a medieval swordsman deeply uncool anyway.
