Deadmau5, real name Joel Zimmerman, is a fan of a few things - sports cars, coffee, electronic music and sometimes putting all three of them together in his coffee runs where he takes a DJ or music friend in a sports car to the local Tim Hortons. The Canadian producer/DJ films the trip and then puts it on YouTube so everyone can see. Some of his more famous passengers have included Tommy Lee, Eric Pyrdz, Laidback Luke, Skrillex and former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Now he can add a famed TV actor and DJ, Kristian Nairn, who is best known for his role as Hodor in the HBO series Game of Thrones, to his list.
Nairn was in Toronto on his current DJ tour, aptly titled Rave of Thrones and joined Zimmerman in his customized Jeep to head out for a spin. While the McLaren might have been nice, Nairn wouldn't fit too easily into a small sportscar. Hodor has seen a significant uptick in his gigs recently ever since people found out he was a DJ a few years ago.
On their ride, they discuss a variety of different ranging from the banal to interesting topics like what they have coming up, connections in movies and music and Game of Thrones.
Nairn reveals he is currently gearing up to work on a movie, has an EP he is working on with a few other producers and is hoping he will be back for Game of Thrones, but isn't certain, emphasizing that point to the camera. Nairn says with utter confidence that he has never messed up a "Hodor" line or otherwise he would have to quit acting.
As is tradition, deadmau5 "forgets" his money and makes his passenger pay for the coffee.
