With the end of Game of Thrones comes an end of an era, and it's not just the fans who are feeling nostalgic about the show concluding. There has been an enormous amount of heartfelt moments going on between the actors who feature on the hit HBO show, but one emotional speech from John Bradley might top all the rest.

John Bradley, who plays Samwell Tarly, made an appearance on Conan this week, where he was asked about the heartfelt speech he made at one of the Game of Thrones wrap parties. Conan, who was at the bash in Belfast, Ireland, said the speech was one of the nicest he's heard in a long time. The 30-year-old actor said he can't remember all of what he said, but recalled the gist of it.

"As somebody who grew up overweight and kind of unhappy because of it, and thinking that life was going to pass you by because of it, and all the times where you go to bed and you think, I'd give anything to wake up and not have this weight [...] while I was feeling that about myself, David and Dan — our producers and everybody else connected with the show — they were looking for me," Bradley told O'Brien. "They were looking for exactly me."

We wish we could've been there at the GoT wrap party to hear the actor's speech, but this interview is enough to know it was incredibly inspiring. We'll see Bradley as Sam one last time when the final season premieres April 14.
