Did Doritos' Super Bowl ad just confirm Tyrion Lannister's real 'GoT' identity?

Doritos may have just confirmed a long-standing fan theory on Game of Thrones with their Super Bowl commercial. And yet we'll have to wait for another Super Bowl to roll around before the final season confirms anything, since GoT won't be returning till next year.
For years, fans have believed that Tyrion Lannister — played by Peter Dinklage — is secretly a Targaryen. So when Doritos aired a commercial for Doritos Blaze staring Dinklage lip syncing Busta Rhymes' "Look at Me Now" in a palatial room surrounded by fire, GoT fans took it as a hint. GoT fans will take anything as a hint, for the most part, but this time there's something there.
Because as Dinklage finishes the rap, he turns his head and breaths a small puff of fire — just like Daenerys's three dragons who appear to have taken a fancy to his character on the show. Seems totally legit, right?
The Super Bowl ad sent Game of Thrones fans into a frenzy of speculation on Twitter.
And while Morgan Freeman’s icy rendition of Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On" repping Mountain Dew Ice probably has nothing to do with him being a white walker in the next season of the show, you never know?
