I was at the back of the pub outside and the next thing I know Im suddenly in the air and someone has got hold of me, Henderson told The Sun, recently. A man just approached, lifted me up and dropped me. He didnt say anything. According to the newspaper, the incident happened just weeks after Englands rugby team players in New Zealand attended a Mad Midget Weekender, where a dwarf-throwing contest reportedly took place. The England players had been in trouble for going to a dwarf tossing event and this might have given this guy the idea, Henderson told The Sun. As a result of his injuries, Henderson said he cant perform and is unable to get work. Beyond his kind thoughts for Henderson at the Golden Globes, Dinklage also had some sweet words for his first child with wife Erica Schmidt. Thank you to George R.R. Martin. His prolific imagination is such a fun world to be a part of. David Benioff and Dan Weiss, the genius creators of our show, HBO and my wife Erica Schmidt and my lovely new daughter, who has her first babysitter tonight, so Im a little nervous, Dinklage said.
