On the Wednesday night episode of _The Late Late Show_, Coster-Waldau and Miranda discussed the possibility of a _Game of Thrones_ musical, but more importantly Coster-Waldau gave Miranda a ride on his shoulders that provided the photo opportunity that we never knew we needed: Jaime Lannister and “Alexander Hamilton” chopping it up together as old chums do. > [](https://twitter.com/jen%5Fsisley/status/897809556646113281) Miranda had a hilarious response to their piggyback moment. > [](https://twitter.com/Lin%5FManuel/status/897810373394350080) And Coster-Waldau also responded in kind. > [](https://twitter.com/nikolajcw/status/897819521351786498) Jaime Lannister and Alexander Hamilton is the bromance we not only need, but deserve. > [](https://twitter.com/Lin%5FManuel/status/897819870506516480) Watch the full clip below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4905009/jaime-lannister-lin-manuel-miranda-bromance/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4905009/jaime-lannister-lin-manuel-miranda-bromance/"},"headline":"Are Jaime Lannister and Lin-Manuel Miranda Having the Bromance We Never Knew We Needed?","datePublished":"2017-08-17T19:18:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:46:35.578Z","description":"HAM 4 GoT","url":"https://time.com/4905009/jaime-lannister-lin-manuel-miranda-bromance/","keywords":["Newsfeed","game of thrones","celebrities","viral","Hamilton","james corden","lin-manuel miranda"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt03a1e70dc9029592/6988da1e97cdffa3026b2128/jaime-lannister-lin-manuel-miranda-bromance.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt03a1e70dc9029592/6988da1e97cdffa3026b2128/jaime-lannister-lin-manuel-miranda-bromance.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jaime-Lannister-Lin-Manuel-Miranda-bromance","caption":"","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4905009/jaime-lannister-lin-manuel-miranda-bromance/","name":"Are Jaime Lannister and Lin-Manuel Miranda Having the Bromance We Never Knew We Needed?"}}]}] ```
