Working as an actor for one of the most acclaimed television series of all time surely has its quirks. Just ask Liam Cunningham, the 57-year-old Irishman who plays the Onion Knight in Game of Thrones.
Love it or hate it, Game of Thrones is huge for television as a whole and for Davos Seaworth. Disrupting the social structure of the Seven Kingdoms, the smuggler-turned-knight also holds the titles of Lord of the Rainwood, Admiral of the Narrow Sea, and Hand of the King.

With such exposure under his belt, how did Liam Cunningham get to try out an Ad Personam example of the Huracan Performante in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany? As it happens, the actor is a huge fan of Lamborghini and Lamborghini couldn’t miss the chance to take a photograph of the man and the car for the sake of social media.

“Hey look, that dude from Game of Thrones uploaded a photo of him and the Huracan Performante!” is the reaction Lamborghini might be expecting from Instagram followers. But for the record, this is the type of marketing that benefits the brand by means of perception, not through an increase in sales.

Aside from the Blue Symi-painted supercar, Cunningham took “a comprehensive factory tour, ranging from the Aventador, Huracan, and Urus assembly lines to the Ad Personam customization department.” The carbon fiber facility that produces Forged Composites has been visited by Liam as well. Did you know Forged Composites are molded in three-minute cycles, which is a shorter time than the molding cycle of CFRP?

In related news, Cunningham also has a thing for motorsport. Last year, he and co-star Kit Harrington (Jon Snow) went to Monza to take in some F1 experience. In two-seat racing cars, that is. Even though the Lamborghini is slower and less extreme than a track-only tool, we all know which car he would take home.

 

Liam Cunningham, famous for his role in @GameOfThrones, traveled through the Tuscan countryside behind the wheel of our Huracán Performante, the V10 engine of which mastered the winding roads. #Lamborghini #HuracanPerformante #Tuscany

After a 1:43 scale model of a Ferrari 250 GTO sparked Mircea's interest for cars when he was a kid, an early internship at Top Gear sealed his career path. He's most interested in muscle cars and American trucks, but he takes a passing interest in quirky kei cars as well.
