United Kingdom, Aug. 25 -- Nikolaj Coster-Waldau fears society's obsession with youth and technology stems from worry over death.

Best known for playing Jaime Lannister in Game of Thrones, the 55-year-old has also opened up about his concerns on the use of artificial intelligence.

Speaking to The Independent from New Jersey during promotional work for the BBC drama King and Conqueror, the Danish actor said: "(Fear of death is) why we have an industry of things you can buy to pretend it doesn't exist, whether it's facial treatments, hormone injections or plastic surgery.

"But it's a waste of time trying to inject too much energy into that fear, because there still hasn't been anyone who's not ended up dead."
