And before we start - we share new exciting celebrity videos every weekday, so be sure

Sean Bean as Ned Stark
Tyrion Lannister was completely right: a Hand of the Kings does not live long.
Hoping Joffrey would have mercy in the very last minute, it was devastating to watch the
headsman wiping the sword over Ned’s head.
Before the show Sean Bean was already a famous actor, having experience playing in another
fantasy move - the Lord of The Rings.
Fun fact, he looked vey much a like to Ned Stark with long hair and armor.
But he mostly got to play the villains for movies, including GoldenEye, Clear and Present
Danger, and The Island.
And as classic story goes: bad guys get what they deserve.
In fact he was shot, buried alive, stabbed with a knife and sword, beaten with a gun,
gore by the herd, shot through with an arrow, hanged and our top peak scene - thrown from
the roof by Pierce Brosnan.
And when he finally got a chance to play the honest and noble Lord Paramount and Warden
of the North, he got killed in the end of Season 1.
What a BUUUUMMER!
But don’t worry, Sean’s career is doing much better than Ned’s head.
Ops, not very sensitive, my bad.
Ghhm, anyway, after the GOT, Sean played brutal outlaw on The Oath seares and a super stressed
ex- Legend’s agent on the same called seares.
But the show unfortunately got canceled.
Sean was also nominated for International Emmy for Best Leading Actor for Accused.
You may also saw him playing a priest in the series Broken.
Rose Leslie as Ygritte
Fearless, passionate and super beautiful wildling woman hit young Jon Snow with Amour arrow.
That made her death from an actual arrow look even more tragic.
Of course, we suspected that George Martine wouldn't let King of the North to marry the
free folk girl.
It was sooo crew to kill her right in front of John Snow.
But it was a true George Martin style, we have to admit.
After the show Rose made a couple of successful roles in horror movies Honeymoon and Sticky Notes.
She also did a great performance in CBC lawyer drama The Good Wife spin off - The Good Fight.
And of course the fans of GOT know that Leslie had major changes in her personal life too.
This June Kit Harington and Rose had one of the most romantic weddings this year at nearby
Wardhill Castle.
The couple had a spectacular old fashioned reception at the castle owned by Rose’s
father in Scotland.
Even though the guest list included fellow Game of Thrones stars, such as Peter Dinklage,
Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Emilia Clarke lucky it had nothing in common with
show’s on-screen typical weddings.
Speaking of the Purple Wedding, you have probably guessed, who is the next star on our list.
Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon
We have to admit, Jack Gleeson did an incredible job playing an obnoxious douche.
In fact, he was so good being bad, that the author of the A Song of Fire and Ice, George
Martin send Jackson a personal letter, saying: “Congratulations on your marvelous performance,
everyone hates you.”
No wonder, we did not get much disappointed, when Joffrey was poisoned at his own wedding.
But we are glad to say, Jack is nothing like his character in real-life.
You probably haven’t heard about him much since, he got killed off from the show for
a reason.
Could you believe Gleeson quit acting?
Well, at least for a while.
21- year old actor decided to concentrate on his education.
He is pursuits his academics in philosophy and theology at Trinity College in Dublin.
When asked why he decided to step from the spotlight, he replied: "The answer isn’t
interesting or long-winded.
I’ve been acting since age 8.
I just stopped enjoying it as much as I used to.”
In his interviews Jackson admitted he dislike celebrity culture a lot.
He just wants to have a normal life.
But we hope that Jackson will return on the big screen, perhaps in much elder age playing
some bearded king in a historical drama.
Joffrey’s wedding wasn’t the only failed one.
Of course we are talking about poor Stark family and the tragic Red Wedding.
Richard Madden as Robb Stark
It was one of the bloodiest episodes on the show.
Robb Stark and his pregnant fiance got betrayed by a cold knife in hands of Roose Bolton.
After the show Richard did not have such outspoken roles as on he GOT but he made a couple of
great appearances, playing supporting roles for de’Medici and Oasis.
Of course, bearded Robb Stark looks pretty hot but shaved Richard Madden doesn’t look
less stunning playing a charming prince in Cinderella movie.
Also, Richard Madden was believed to be a possible candidate for agent 007 role in the
new 25th Bond movie, coming out in 2020.
But just recently it was confirmed, the Bond producer Barbara Broccoli are not looking
for anyone to replace Daniel Craig.
Well, still there might be a chance that Richard will make it for Bond 26.
We’ll see!
Pedro Pascal as Prince Oberyn
It’s hard to imagine someone else playing ardent and aggressive Prince Oberyn of Dorne.
The blood revenge, as usual, led Oberyn Martell to extremely brutal end of his days.
When we almost thought that the Red Viper won the duel, his skull got smacked in the
hands of George Clegane.
Most of us got shocked just as much as Ellaria:
At the top of all Pedro’s post-GOT roles is Javier Peña in Narcos Netflix series.
Pascal also did a spectacular performance on a big screen for Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
We will also see him starring in 2019 DC movie Wonder Woman 1984 along side Gal Gadot.
Pedro was cast in undisclosed role, so it remains a surprise for the fans.
Kristian Nairn as "Hodor"
Hodor’s death made millions to cry, when we finally found out he was saying HOLD THE
DOOR and realized how much his faith was ripped.
Knowing how innocent he was, makes watching the end of the episode even more devastating.
Kristian had only one word in his disposal to picture the character and he nailed it.
Nairn re-enacted the tragic moment from the show in his KFC commercial.
But did you know that Kristian has a secret career?
He is a superstar house DJ!
In 2014 he made a tour with his Rave Of Thrones show!
In the interview Kristian said: “I’ll always say a ‘Hodor’ right at the end
[of a set], because I think I’d probably get lynched if I didn’t."
I am already dying to see it!
What else can I say..?- “ Hodor!”
Iwan Rheon as Ramsay Bolton Uuu, one more hated character we loooved to
see killed on screen.
What young sadist did you hate more - Joffrey or Ramsay?
It was nice to know Ramsay was teared apart by his OWN dogs.
Well, all we can say - he truly deserved it!
After the show, the actor mainly focused on playing in TV series.
You may have seen Iwan on Vicious, Riviera and as Maximus in ABC's Inhumans.
Iwan is also a very talented musician.
One of his latest albums is named after the place where he first met his beloved girlfriend.
Sooo romantic!
He definitely has very strong feelings for her.
Perhaps, he is heading towards the thoughts about marriage.
Who knows?!
Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo
Khal Drogo is definitely one of the most memorable characters on the show even though he played
only in one season.
But the ladies still cannot forget him and hope for his resurrection in the last season.
At first we hated him, them fell in love with him and by the end of season 1 couldn’t
stop crying over his death.
But in real-life Jason Momoa is doing very well and made a spectacular work playing Aquaman
in Justice League and in 2018 DC solo movie.
Can’t wait to finally see it!
Jason had to keep a secret that he is playing Aquaman for almost 5 years!
Michelle Fairley as Catelyn Stark
Catelyn had to witness her son’s death at the Red Wedding and had her throat cut.
She effortlessly tried to save Robb’s life and that made the moment even more tragic.
Poor Stark family!
While filming the GOT, Michelle starred also in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part
I as… you’re right - Hermoine’s mother.
After the show Michelle made a stunning appearance as Margaret Beaufort in White Princess.
Fairley is also a very famous theatrical actor.
If you are big fan of her work, you may stop by Bridge Theatre to see her in Julius Caesar.
Aidan Gillen as Littlefinger
It was a surprise that Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish managed to survive 7 seasons.
But the sweet revenge from Aria overtook him in the Winterfell court.
In 2017 Aidan made an appearance "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword."
alongside another GOT actor Michael McElhatton aka Roose Bolton.
Aidan also played another villian in "Maze Runner: The Death Cure" that was released
last January and made a stylish performance on the Peaky Blinders.
This year Aidan Gillen will appear on a big screen movie Bohemian Rhapsody about legendary
Queen rock band as former music manager John Reid.
Aiden is also working on a new science fiction drama TV series Project Blue Book that will
premiere in January.
Gillen is playing the leading role as Josef Allen Hynek real-life astrophysicist, best
know by his research on UFO back in 1960’s.
Sounds so mysterious.
I suppose it won’t do without some conspiracy theories!
We are sure season 8 of Game of Thrones won’t end up without a couple of new death.
But each of our favorite killed off characters stay in our hearts forever!
