HBO's super hit series, Game of Thrones, is one of the most favored topics on the internet. The actors on the show are so terrified of giving the plot away that they prefer to hold their silence than walking on eggshells. However, Ian McShane, the legendary actor recently roped in for Season 6 of GoT, may not think the same way. In an interview with Telegraph,

McShane responded to the angered fans who accuse him of revealing too much in the previous interview: "You say the slightest thing and the internet goes ape... I was accused of giving the plot away, but I just think get a f-ing life. It's only t-s and dragons."

As if this wasn't enough, he also dropped further hints about the length of his role on the show: "They asked me if I wanted to do Game of Thrones and I said, 'Sure, I'll be able to see my old pals Charlie Dance and Stephen Dillane' and they said, 'No, we've killed them off.' I wasn't sure whether I could commit, but then they said it would only be for one episode..."

"My character really is like an ex-warrior who's become a peacenik. So I have a group of peaceful; sort of like a cult, peaceful tribe, who have brought back ... I bring back a much-loved character who everybody thinks is dead.

So I'll leave it at that," he told BBC Breakfast.

There are many characters on "Game on Thrones" who want to maintain the secrecy of the plot and keep even the smallest of detail to themselves. However, this is not a show that needs to take its plot's secrecy too seriously. As far as the fate of the main characters is hush-hush, it is ok to drop a few hints here and there to keep the excitement going.

Ultimately, we do think that there are some who are perhaps a little too protective

The new episodes of the show will air on April 24.
