Peter Dinklage may have been acting since the 1990s, but it was his Emmy-winning portrayal of Tyrion Lannister in ‘Game of Throneswhich made him one of the most popular stars in Hollywood. While the fantasy epic brought him to worldwide fame and landed him roles in some of the biggest film franchises, Dinklage and his wife, playwright and theater director Erica Schmidtmanaged to keep their private lives away from the spotlight.Despite his reserved public persona, the actor often leaves co-stars drooling over his natural charm. ‘Game of Thrones’ co-star Lena Headey famously allowed fans the actor’s flirty side, describing him as “the most successful flirt I’ve ever met.” Even show co-creator David Benioff recalled, “every woman there, including my wife, was hanging on his every word.”

About Peter Dinklage’s quote in Rolling Stone:
Dinklage made the comment in a candid interview with Rolling Stone in 2012 while reflecting on building his confidence, relationships and his changing perspective over the years.While admitting that confidence did not come easily to him when he was young, the actor confessed, “I was socially a little bit of a mess, in terms of confidence with the other half.” However, he added that as he got older, his confidence increased. He shared, “You’re small, you’re comfortable. Women respond to comfort, and a sense of humor. I always make them laugh, so that helps a lot.”It was in this context that the actor observed, “Women in general are usually not as shallow as men. They can be, but things are easier than men in terms of superficial things.”Dinklage’s wife, Erica Schmidt, also spoke about the attention her husband received from fans, especially women. Opening the magazine, he joked, “Lately, girls have been, like, licking his face. Pete’s an incredibly handsome, charming, funny guy, but when he does a magazine or something, it’s like, ‘Isn’t it amazing that he’s four feet five inches tall, and he’s sexy?’ You know, that’s just Pete. And the rest of the world needs to catch up.“
