LOS ANGELES: Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has stated that he rejected a cameo within the TV adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s award-winning fantasy saga ‘Game of Thrones’ as a result of he does not need to be “typecast”.

Asked if he has seen the HBO present on Apple Music 1’s ‘The Strombo Show’, he replied: “No. I got offered a part in that.”

On why he declined, he stated: “I do not need to get typecast. I began that s***.

He went on: “Go back to ‘Immigrant Song’ and Led Zeppelin being part of cultural exchange in Iceland with the Icelandic government. So they didn’t know what they’d invited onto their little island.”

Plant added: “I love Western European history from maybe the Bronze Age up through all the old religion… when we were really in touch with our Earth.”

“The Viking thing, the whole idea of playing in Iceland and experiencing this landscape and people. Yeah, I’ve got a lot to answer for, because I’ve never seen so many bands with double-bladed axes.”

Ed Sheeran is among the many celebrities to have had cameos in ‘Game of Thrones’, studies femalefirst.co.uk.

However, the ‘Shape Of You’ hitmaker obtained criticism for his portrayal of a Lannister soldier within the first episode of the seventh season in 2017.

Although the 31-year-old Grammy winner had “fun” filming his temporary scene, he thinks it will have been higher for his character to have met a grotesque finish so followers who disapproved of his look might have some “redemption”.

He later stated: “I do know what ‘Game of Thrones’ followers hoped occurred to my character. I’m certain they assume my character received brutally, brutally murdered, however I feel my character remains to be on the market. I feel he is chilling.

“It was fun being in ‘Game of Thrones’, but I definitely think they should’ve killed me off in the episode. I reckon that probably would’ve been the redemption for people that didn’t like it.”

Sheeran had an encounter along with his pal Maisie Williams’ Arya Stark within the episode.
