Though Jack Gleeson’s character Joffrey is dead on the show (we all celebrated, remember?), he is still in touch in with all the members and keeps running into them. But talking about his opinions first, he also does not know anything about Jon Snow.
Jack Gleeson, who portrayed the much hated character, Joffrey Baratheon on the show, was recently in Australia to meet the fans present at Supanova Pop Culture Expo on the gold coast. There he revealed this piece of information which seemed juicy but had nothing to it because well, Jon Snow wouldn’t reveal anything.
According to a report in ABC network, Jack told people that he ran into Kit Harington and asked him about Jon Snow’s fate but the actor didn’t say anything. Jack said, “He said he’d just signed a new contract and I asked him how long it was. He was like, ‘I can’t tell you.’….so even I am out of the loop.”
Gleeson also spoke about he had never read the books before he was given the role of Joffrey Baratheon. He also didn’t know how much hate his character will incite in people before he actually had to portray Joffrey.
Talking about Joffrey, he said that, “He was obviously not a pleasant character, but I don’t think I expected the reaction I got.” Obviously Gleeson was happy about the role and thought that, “its kind of like a back handed compliment in a way.”
In Australia, during the fan meet, Jack Gleeson was seen sporting red hair and said that “In Ireland they call it ‘just getting a bit of colour’. It doesn’t really matter what colour it is, whether it’s brown or tan or lobster red, so long as it’s colour.”
Never had an idea that Joffrey is kind of funky. Though if even King Joffrey doesn’t know anything about Jon, then who are we?
The year 2020 has been the Red Wedding for everyone around the world. Looking at the current scenario, stepping out of quarantine seems to be a big risk. People are cautious and suspicious of each other, scared of contamination. Under such dire conditions, normal life sounds like a fantasy. Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner and husband Joe Jonas are trying hard to give their new-born daughter a normal life.
The young couple went out for a walk with their daughter Willa in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Turner was seen in a T-shirt and black leggings, while Jonas was rocking the buzzcut he dyed pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month while. They were pushing Willa in a black baby carriage.
Both the high-profile parents were keeping it low-key and were wearing properly secured black face masks. Since becoming parents in July 2020, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have been focusing more on their baby and less on sharing details of their private life.
Sophie earlier made headlines with an Instagram post, when she brought a prop from Game of Thrones set back home. She welcomed the wooden Throne of Winterfell at her home, which had an intricately carved dire-wolf on it.
Turner and Jonas are trying their best to be good parents for little Willa. Feel free to express your good wishes for their cute family in the comments below!
Every TV show or movie has that one person who lights up the screen on their entrance. Game of Thrones’ Tormund Giantsbane, played by Kristopher Hivju, was one such character who’s loved by fans for his hilarious puns and looks worldwide.
Kristofer Hivju turned in heads on Instagram with a picture of his new look. Fans were shocked to see a beardless Tormund Giantsbane. Hivju had rocked the beard ever since he auditioned for the role. The beard was an essential part of his wildling look.
Earlier this year, Hivju was tested positive for Coronavirus. He has recovered quickly after spending weeks in quarantine with his wife. The Game of Thrones star is participating in the PCS Open, a Professional Disc Golf Association B tournament in Norway. He apparently shaved his beard ahead of the contest.
However, Kristofer has assured his fans that his beard is coming back soon. The head of Brienne of Tarth fan club is well-known for growing a lush beard rather quickly. When he first came to shoot for the show, it took only 4 months and 17 days for him to grow a full-red beard!
Hivju’s Tormund Giantsbane was one of the most loved characters in the TV series. What are your thoughts about his new look? Let us know in the comments below!
