Gwendoline Christie, who portrays the role of Brienne of Tarth in HBO's 'Game of Thrones,' had to face a really tricky question at 2017 San Diego Comic-Con.

According to The Independent, Christie, who plays Captain Phasma in the latest 'Star Wars' films was asked by a fan as to which of her fan bases was "crazier" - 'Game of Thrones' or 'Star Wars'.

The actress replied, "It's not really craziness, but the level of passion is pretty much equal."

Adding, "What is noticeable is that Star Wars is something many of us grew up with, which gives many of us a sense of hope. That's how I feel - like I came home."

The 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' star also shared that she hopes 'GOT' lives on so people have that same feeling of home and love for it.

Christie was joined by cast mates Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos), Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Conleth Hill (Lord Varys) and Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark).

Liam Cunningham also joked that a 'Game of Thrones' spin-off show was in the works called 'Better Call Davos'.

The season premiere of 'Game of Thrones' broke ratings records as the first episode drew 16.1 million total viewers, including 10.1 million who watched on the linear channel and the rest coming from DVR and streaming.
