Its premiere took place in April 2011, the series lasted 7 seasons, it has a lot of fans, a fan community has been created.
Many actors became famous thanks to the cult series. But will their fans recognize them in real life? After all, some of them had to radically change their appearance. Clothing, makeup, hairstyle - what sacrifices did the actors make for their roles?
If you are also a fan of Game of Thrones, you are probably worried about these issues. After reading this article, you will find out what the actors of Game of Thrones are like in real life.
10. Cersei Lannister (Lina Headey)
In "Game of Thrones" Lina was invited by her friend Peter Dinklage. He recommended Headey to the producers as the ideal queen candidate.
Lina agreed, but did not fully believe in the success of the project. In one interview, she said that this venture seemed crazy to her.
Lina did an excellent job with her role. But fans of the series are unlikely to recognize her on the street. Cersei is a real bitch, masterful and power-hungry. This is a cold blonde with the appearance of a fairy princess.
Lina is completely different. This bright brunette appreciates comfort and convenience, she can appear in public without makeup and absolutely does not hesitate. The actress openly declares that she loves naturalness and does not try to please everyone.
But Lina is very fond of decorating her body. She has several tattoos. She admits that she can not calmly go past the tattoo parlor. Lina has a beloved man and daughter. Nothing is known about her new works.
9. Lilly (Hannah Murray)
Hannah first appeared on the show in season two. She played the role of a wild 15-year-old girl. Hannah was already 23 at that time.
The appearance of the actress did not change. The hair color is the same, except that Lilly does not look as well-groomed as Hannah. This is not surprising in the fictional world of George R.R. Martina has no beauty salons or cosmetics stores. However, the savage even has no time to wash her hair, and she is dressed very poorly. Unlike Lilly, Hannah always looks perfect.
The actress works a lot, acts in films, she also took part in the filming of season 8 of the series "Game of Thrones", which will premiere very soon. Hannah does not forget about the theater, she regularly appears in productions.
Murray's personal life is unknown; she carefully hides it.
8. Tiena Sand (Rosabella Laurenti Sellers)
Rosabella appeared on the series in season five. She played the role of Tiena Sand. This is a warrior girl, brave and dexterous. She is part of the Sand Snake squad. At the casting, the actress was offered to play the killer, she successfully coped with this role.
In real life, Rosabella looks no different from Tiena, though the makeup is a little different. Although she knows how to transform, the image of the actress has changed several times. She dyed her hair in green and pink, was a "boy" and a romantic young lady. At the moment, Rosabella has no new roles, she has not starred in films for a long time.
7. Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer)
Natalie began acting in the series in June 2011. She played the role of Margaery Tyrell, who gives the impression of a pretty beauty, but is actually quirky and not without ambition.
Natalie looks a little different, this is a modern girl with a fashionable hairstyle. The fact is that for another role, the actress had to shave her hair. Dormer is very beautiful, she pays a lot of attention to her figure, she can not imagine her life without sports.
In her career, Natalie is quite successful. After the Game of Thrones, and her heroine dies in the sixth season, she starred in several more films.
6. Arya Stark (Macy Williams)
Macy played the role of Arya, the youngest daughter of Lady Caytilin and Lord Eddard Stark. A girl should become a lady, but she thinks differently. She is not interested in female amusements; she is carried away by weapons and wars. She is prudent and vindictive. This role brought Williams worldwide fame.
Macy’s life is completely different, she dresses well, attractive, feminine and does not at all look like Arya.
Williams is a pretty versatile person. Of course, she is not fond of weapons, but she has many other interests. She is a wonderful dancer and gymnast.
5. Nymeria Sand (Jessica Henwick)
Another Sand Snake. She joined the stellar cast in season five. Nimeria is a fearless beauty, she is very smart. Its main weapon is a whip. It took the actress six months to master it perfectly.
Again, Henvik was lucky in that there were no complaints about her appearance. In the series, she has a slightly different shape of eyebrows, in life they have a semicircular shape, in the series are straight. It seems a trifle, but the face looks completely different.
Jessica is sweet, soft, feminine, Nimeria is completely different. In the life of the actress, everything is fine, she is happy in her personal life and successful in her career.
4. Melisandra (Caris van Houten)
Karis plays the role of priestess of the Lord of the Light. For the first time in the series, she appears in the second season. This role brought the actress great success. Karis is a beautiful woman. Melissandra is somewhat inferior to her, but you remember that there are no cosmetics stores in the fictional world.
After the “Game of Thrones”, the actress played several more interesting roles. Not so long ago, she became a mother, so a break was made in the work. In 2018, Karis returned to the world of cinema.
3. Jaime Lannister (Nikolai Coster-Waldau)
Jaime is a knight, he has repeatedly won tournaments, the famous swordsman. He treats his family well, but under the influence of his relatives he became cynical and arrogant. The character is negative, but his army of fans is pretty impressive.
The appearance of the actor did not change. Apparently she is fully consistent with this role. Nikolai, even during the filming of the series, simultaneously participated in other projects. He works a lot, but time remains for his personal life. The actor is a happy husband and father of two beautiful girls.
2. John Snow (Keith Harington)
John is called one of the most popular characters (according to the New York Times). He is a good warrior, strong and brave. In addition, John is distinguished by honesty, observation and diplomacy.
The appearance of the actor corresponds to the image of the hero. Handsome man with long wavy hair. If you know what Keith Harington looks like, you can imagine John.
True, in real life, the actor does not resemble an honest warrior. He does not always behave himself, he recently got into an unpleasant situation, made a brawl in a bar. As for the further participation of the actor in the spin-offs of the Game of Thrones, he answered very rudely: "Not in this life!"
1. Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleason)
The second king of the Seven Kingdoms has a terrible character. He is cruel, moody, cowardly, has sadistic inclinations.
Joffrey was not experimented on. Therefore, Jack is a complete copy of Baratheon. True, in real life, the actor is much prettier. The secret is simple - smile. The hero Joffrey never smiles.
The actor several years ago wanted to leave the world of cinema, he waited for the Game of Thrones to end, and dreamed of engaging in scientific activities. However, in 2015, he founded his own theater company.
Nothing is known about Joffrey's personal life; he carefully guards it from strangers.
