Peter Dinklage’s Golden Globe experience was deep!

Peter Dinklage might have started off his Golden Globes acceptance speech Sunday night with a charming anecdote about his mother telling him Guy Pearce was going to beat him for the best supporting TV actor award, but he ended it on a serious note.

The “Game of Thrones” star gave a shout-out to fellow dwarf Martin Henderson but, rather then elaborating, he just said “Google him.”  Within minutes, Henderson’s name was a trending topic on Twitter.

The aspiring actor was partially paralyzed on his birthday after a drunk stranger picked him up and threw him while he was having a cigarette outside a pub in the U.K. Henderson blames the English rugby team players who recently attended a dwarf-tossing contest during the rugby World Cup in New Zealand for inspiring the attack.

The Daily Mail reports that he now faces life in a wheelchair after the incident. Henderson was recovering from a 2010 back injury but has said that this injury has set him back in his recuperation.
He went on to tell The Daily Mail that he believes this will affect his acting career.
British authorities are currently looking for the man who assaulted Henderson hence the shout out. Being a dwarf in Hollywood can’t be easy but Peter seems to handle it with dignity.
