Game Of Throne star Jacob Anderson reacts to petition signed by over 800,000 fans wanting to re-do final season: 'That sucks!'
Jacob Anderson is not happy to hear hundreds of thousands of fans are petitioning to remake the final season of Game Of Thrones.
The actor, 28, who plays Grey Worm in the epic series, was asked about his opinion on the Change.org petition signed by over 800,000 fans who feel the final season was made in a hurry.
'That sucks!' the actor said simply when he was asked about the petition by TMZ in New York on Thursday.

There's just a few days left until the Game Of Thrones finale, and already over 860,000 fans have signed the Change.org petition entitled 'Remake Game of Thrones Season 8 with competent writers'.
Since its first episode eight years ago the HBO show about noble families vying for the Iron Throne has picked up just about every award going on the way to becoming a global ratings smash and a cultural phenomenon.
But its legacy is under threat from an increasingly vocal section of fans furious over what they consider poor writing in the shortened final two seasons, after the script had moved beyond the source novels by American writer George R.R. Martin.
'There's been a lot of negativity about the windup, but I think it's just because people don't want ANY ending,' tweeted horror author Stephen King, one of the show's most high-profile fans.

'But you know what they say: All good things...'
One source of discontent is a dramatically sped-up narrative arc that has seen central character Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) descend suddenly and incongruously into atrocity-committing madness.
'Turning one of the top two heroes in the game into a villain is something that you have to really set up straight... to have the fan base just go along with it,' said entertainment host A. Ron Hubbard on his top-rated Game of Thrones: The Podcast.
'It's just that I don't think they did the job particularly well.'
Other fans are equally bewildered by the moral regression of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's Jaime Lannister - an unambiguous bad guy back in 2011 whose redemptive arc over seven seasons was one of the most interesting aspects of the show's scrupulous, patient plotting.
