The Fight Club actor, 54, sadly lost the bidding battle, which opened at $20,000 (£15,000), to an unknown attendee at the star-studded occasion.

The auctioneer reportedly shouted ‘Is the King of the North here?’ when GoT star Kit Harington returned from the toilet.
Famed for his role as Jon Snow, who becomes the on-screen lover of the Mother of Dragons in season seven, it is no surprise Kit put himself forward to join Emilia and the lucky winner in the private screening.

The gala came after the revelation fans will have a long time to wait as Game of Thrones won’t return to the small screen until 2019.
It will come as a disappointment for followers after Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, had told Variety that production on Season 8 began in October, with producers hoping to air the show in the middle of 2018.
Pushing back GOT’s screen time will give author George R.R. Martin more time to release the next book in his hit A Song Of Ice And Fire series, The Winds Of Winter, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Season seven was the highest-rated yet, watched by 16,500,000 viewers including fans who watched the show as it aired and night-time streams.
