Fans spot a George R.R. Martin lookalike in The Boys Season 4

Martin’s lookalike is in the audience of Firecracker, known for her conspiracy-laden diatribes and incendiary propaganda. Firecracker is reminiscent of real-life YouTuber Alex Jones. Firecracker’s over-the-top persona and controversial views make her a magnet for attention.

Fans quickly took to social media to crack jokes about the author’s famously slow pace in releasing The Winds of Winter. Some quipped that Martin was finding any excuse to avoid writing.

Others humorously suggested that his cameo signalled his agreement with Firecracker’s radical viewpoints, a sharp contrast to the more measured stance of the House of the Dragon showrunners.
