"I've got some good moments in season eight; I've got some moments. "I do two things that only a few people have done in Game of Thrones, which I'm very proud of. And...things are looking good for me. "I'm happy, I'm very happy."Pilou first appeared in the HBO epic in season six, when Euron made his big return to the Iron Islands (and...well, threw his brother, Balon, off a bridge).

Recalling what it was like to join the show, he said:
"When you're an actor, you always want to be a part of something successful - because success equals more jobs and a better pay, it's that simple. "I knew when I became a part of Game of Thrones, it was one of the biggest shows in the world. So, that was not a concern of mine. "It was just buckle up and enjoy it."And while he was a "massive fan" of Game of Thrones before joining the show, he admitted that he hasn't been able to watch much of it since.
He continued:
"I've seen all the five seasons prior [to joining the show]. "But the moment I became apart of it, I have not seen anything since - because now I know how they make the dragon. "It's a little guy with a green stick and a tennis ball, and it's like 'look at the dragon'. You're like, that's it?"
