Peter Dinklage was completely caught out when he won his Emmy for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Tyrion Lannister in Game Of Thrones.
So much so, the surprise meant he didn’t have time to ditch his gum when his name was called to collect his award.
But rather than having it swimming around in his system for the next seven years and swallowing it, he had another emergency plan.
In a video capturing the actor’s reaction to his win, he seemingly whispers something to his wife who holds out her hands as if offering somewhere for the offensive gum to go.
But he may have panicked, as instead of spitting on TV he appeared to lean in for another kiss and ditch the offending article straight into his wife Erica’s mouth.
Well no point in wasting it if it still had some taste left.
