Winter is here. And Tyrion Lannister is coming to the rescue!
“Game of Thrones” 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 couldn’t make it on her own because she’d 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 “Twelfth Night” at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park to rave reviews.
“I saw him from the back,” she told Page Six. “I said ‘Sir, Sir, please can you help me, I can’t get down the stairs.” She said that she explained that she was injured.
Dinklage then leapt into action like a frost responder.
“He ran up the stairs, which were icy and he said ‘Lean on me’,” she told us. We’re told he helped her down the slick steps, proving chivalry is not dead.
“It was very wet and icy, plus those stone stairs they have on those brownstones that are 70 feet high,” she tells us.
Dinklage’s heroism swept her off her feet.
“He couldn’t have been nicer or cuter. I told him he was a saint… I loved it,” she said, “I fell madly in love with him.”
Dinklage took it all in stride like it was snow problem. “My pleasure,” 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.
Stassi’s latest book “The Descendant” based on the real-life family that may have inspired “The Godfather,” comes out March 10.
Dinklage has several projects coming up.
He stars in “Wicker,” which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, along with Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård. “The Shitheads,” also starring Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr., also debuted during the film festival.
