"  While Peter Dinklage has been something of a low-key sex symbol even before his role as bad guy Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones (The Station Agent? Or Nip/Tuck, anyone?) the 4&amp;#039;5&amp;quot; actor says that he takes this romantic attention &amp;quot;with a grain of salt.&amp;quot; In an interview with Playboy (via The Cut, Dinklage is informed of a video on Funny Or Die in which two guys estimate that his &amp;quot;rate of getting p*ssy&amp;quot; has gone up 600% since Game of Thrones debuted on HBO. He jokingly responds: &amp;quot;[If] pussy means wearing old-man sweaters and watering my herb garden, then absolutely, I&amp;#039;m getting so much pussy.&amp;quot;  As for what Playboy calls his reputation as a DwILF (&amp;quot;Dwarf I&amp;#039;d Like To F*ck?&amp;quot; he asks dubiously. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s very clever.&amp;quot;), Dinklage \u2014 who&amp;#039;s the one with 43 years of experience being a little person both pre- and post-fame, after all \u2014 doesn&amp;#039;t really buy it. Who can blame him? Dinklage, who has been married to theater director Erica Schmidt for eight years (the two had a daughter in 2011), adds: &amp;quot;Honestly, I think there&amp;#039;s an irony in all of this... They&amp;#039;ll say, &amp;quot;Oh, he&amp;#039;s sexy,&amp;quot; but women still go for guys who are six-foot-two. It&amp;#039;s nice that people are thinking outside the box, but I don&amp;#039;t believe any of it for a minute. Dinklage has said before that he used to be angry about his stature as a younger man, but overcame it in time. For many of us who like to think that we don&amp;#039;t allow physical prejudices to affect our potential relationships, it&amp;#039;s an interesting (albeit difficult to hear) truth a lot of the time.
