Winter is here. And Tyrion Lannister is coming to the rescue!
âGame of Thronesâ star Peter Dinklage played a snowy Samaritan to a damsel in distress trapped on a slushy stoop in Brooklyn, we hear.
Former New York Post columnist and author Linda Stassi, 78, tells us she was recently trying to get down some icy steps in Brooklyn, but couldnât make it on her own because sheâd banged up her knee a few days earlier.
She tells us she saw someone walking by, but had no idea it was the famed thespian, who recently took the stage in âTwelfth Nightâ at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park to rave reviews.
âI saw him from the back,â she told Page Six. âI said âSir, Sir, please can you help me, I canât get down the stairs.â She said that she explained that she was injured.
Dinklage then leapt into action like a frost responder.
âHe ran up the stairs, which were icy and he said âLean on meâ,â she told us. Weâre told he helped her down the slick steps, proving chivalry is not dead.
âIt was very wet and icy, plus those stone stairs they have on those brownstones that are 70 feet high,â she tells us.
Dinklageâs heroism swept her off her feet.
âHe couldnât have been nicer or cuter. I told him he was a saint⊠I loved it,â she said, âI fell madly in love with him.â
Dinklage took it all in stride like it was snow problem. âMy pleasure,â he told her.
The city has been covered in snow after subsequent snowstorms and frigid temps. On Tuesday morning, snowfall in Central Park hit 19.7 inches.
Stassiâs latest book âThe Descendantâ based on the real-life family that may have inspired âThe Godfather,â comes out March 10.
Dinklage has several projects coming up.
He stars in âWicker,â which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, along with Olivia Colman and Alexander SkarsgĂ„rd. âThe Shitheads,â also starring Dave Franco and OâShea Jackson Jr., also debuted during the film festival.
