Obama gets to see new Game Of Thrones before everyone

"Game of Thrones" show runners David Beinoff and D B Weiss have revealed that US President Barack Obama wanted advanced copies of upcoming season of the HBO series. During the Hollywood premiere, Beinoff and Weiss confirmed rumours that Obama got advance copies of the new episodes.

"For both of us finding out that the President wanted advanced copies of the episodes, that was an 'ah-ha' moment," they said. Asked if they granted his wish, Weiss replied, "Yes. He's the leader of the free world." Beinoff added, "When the commander-in-chief says, 'I want to see advance episodes,' what are you gonna do?"

HBO decided earlier this year that they would not send press any episodes of the show's upcoming season 6 in advance in an attempt to prevent leak. "Game of Thrones" season 6 premieres on HBO tomorrow.
