Peter Dinklage has explained how Tyrion Lannister is "jealous" of Jon Snow in Game of Thrones.
Speaking ahead of the show's forthcoming and final season, Dinklage confirmed that his character "loves" Daenerys Targaryen and it leads to some conflicted feelings towards Jon, who is currently romancing the dragon queen/Khaleesi/his actual aunt.
It's what many fans have suspected since spotting the devastated look on Tyrion's face when he heard Jon and Dany getting it on during their boat ride to Winterfell at the end of season seven.
But, it's good to have confirmation all the same.

"It's complicated," Dinklage told Entertainment Weekly.
"A lot of the time with Tyrion, it's professional and personal. Obviously, he has feelings for Daenerys. He loves her – or thinks he does. She's awe-inspiring. He's questioning that because he doesn't have a good track record for falling in love. There's jealousy wrapped up in there.
"And he loves Jon Snow, too. They're the two people he has the most in common with, in a way. They're both outsiders in their own families who have refused to follow the path their family has taken, and hopefully for the better.
"He's wondering how smart of a move [Jon and Dany getting romantically involved is], because passion and politics don't mix well. He knows the two of them getting together could be very dangerous."
