Channing Tatum and his love and hate story with the character of Khal Drogo

One of the main reasons for theThe close friendship between Jason Momoa and Channing Tatum is that the ‘Magic Mike’ actor dated his stepdaughter, Zoe Kravitz, while Momoa was married to Lisa Bonet, Lenny Kravitz’s ex. The two stars ended up becoming best friends during that time. So it’s no wonder that Tatum was upset that one of Momoa’s big characters, Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones, died so early in the series…

Khal Drogo was one of the most intense characters in Game of Thrones, the most successful series of all time. Often known as the Great Khal, Drogo was the chieftain of the Dothraki, famous nomadic horse lords from the eastern continent beyond the Narrow Sea. Although there was a lot to portray about Drogo as the series progressed towards his phenomenon, Game of Thrones didn’t hesitate to kill off the fierce warrior at the end of the first season.

From the death of the first lover of Daenerys Targaryen, fans have not yet recovered from the shocking death, and among them Channing Tatum himself. The actor revealed on an episode of Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector that he didn’t like that his friend died too soon on the hit HBO series. “100%. I was pissed off when he died. I wanted to see him lead an army and do everything”he answers about whether Khal Drogo would have made Game of Thrones better.

He was then asked if he skipped ‘House of the Dragon’ because of his loyalty to Jason, and Tatum laughed and said that “No, I wasn’t that loyal. I liked it, it was good, it was good“. In the hit series, Khal Drogo was poisoned by Mirri Maz Duur, while cleaning his wounds. That was the last time anyone saw Daenerys Targaryen beg for mercy!”
