As I delve into the lives of these Game of Thrones stars, I find myself awestruck by their journeys from the fictional realms of Westeros to the glamorous world of Hollywood.
As a die-hard admirer, I’d say if my hypothetical kids ever decide to delve into the world of television, they might bypass Game of Thrones, given its complexities. Yet, should they be curious about how their imaginary parents found their on-set romance, all they need to do is hit play on the heartwarming behind-the-scenes footage that documents our love story unfolding on and off the set.
Scratch that thought, it’s a poor suggestion, especially given the potential outcome for your Wildling character, Ygritte, played by Rose Leslie.
One consequence of being part of Game of Thrones was the profound impact it had on the numerous actors, as evidenced by Kit Harington and Rose Leslie welcoming children into their family – just one instance illustrating this transformative experience.
Despite not always following the most admirable paths, particularly challenging for individuals who essentially spent their formative years on the filming location of the groundbreaking HBO series.
Speaking as Isaac Hempstead Wright, who portrayed Bran Stark, he expressed in The Hollywood Reporter following the controversial 2019 finale: “Being a teenager is already challenging; it’s made even harder when you’re part of the most famous TV series worldwide.
And that’s coming from the young man whose character won the whole darn game!
Maisie Williams, who was 12 when she tried out for the part of Arya Stark, shared with Wonderland in 2020 that it was great the production ended because her entire life revolved around the show, and there was no personal time left. She was glad to be able to move on from all that.
Indeed, Williams seemed delighted as he saw Arya’s story unfold in a satisfying manner. He admired how Arya, who had vanquished the Night King, opted for adventure, courage, and family obligations over love.
Her close friend Sophie Turner, known for portraying Arya Stark’s elder sister Sansa, expressed her satisfaction with where her character ultimately found herself, despite having experienced one of the most harrowing journeys on a series that consistently heaped trauma upon its characters each week.
In 2019, Turner shared with THR that it’s her character Sansa’s resilience and strength which will remain with her. She expressed that she has never felt more empowered as an actress than she did while portraying Sansa, adding that this character may stay with her forever.
Despite the fact that it’s been over five years since the conclusion of the series following its eight seasons and earning a total of 59 Emmy Awards, the Stark children and the rest of the cast have moved on with their lives.
Even though it’s scorching hot right now, don’t forget that winter is just around the corner. If you’re still caught up in the latest episode of “House of the Dragon” and yearning for the moment to pull on your velvet garments and warm fur coats, spend a few minutes finding out where the cast of “Game of Thrones” are currently:
Before stepping into the role of ‘Jon Snow’ on screen, Kit Harington had previously performed on stage in a production by the National Theatre titled ‘War Horse.’
As I prepared for my audition to become the Stark siblings’ honorary brother, I shared with W Magazine an unusual tale. “I was sporting a black eye,” I explained. “The cause? A brawl the previous night at McDonald’s! That man who landed a punch on my face might have unknowingly aided me in landing the role!
Regardless of his significant role in the series, Jon’s shocking and temporary demise at the close of season five affected the actor profoundly, causing him to express that he struggled emotionally in the period following the event.
At that point, I initiated therapy and began communicating with others. I had been experiencing a strong sense of unease, and found myself unable to confide in anyone.
In due course, Harington acknowledged and valued the significance of his character, as well as Jon’s, to the series. He further expressed, “It took me quite some time to stop thinking, ‘I am the worst part of this.’
Apart from reappearing on stage in productions like True West, Henry V, and Slave Play, taking part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in The Eternals, and making an appearance on HBO’s Industry, the London-born actor tied the knot with Game of Thrones co-star Rose Leslie in 2018 (their relationship before the sister plotline).
In his conversation with GQ, Harington expressed gratitude towards the show. However, what he appreciated most was that it brought her into his life, not just everything the show has given him.
The private pair share two children, a son born in 2021 and a daughter who arrived in 2023.
During her audition to portray Jon’s Wildling love interest, Ygritte, the actress from Downton Abbey found herself relatively uninformed about the scale of the production, as she hadn’t fully grasped its size.
In an interview, she confessed that she walked into the audition without proper preparation. She hadn’t seen the show before and hadn’t watched its first season. She didn’t anticipate the intensity of the audition process. If she had known about the stress involved, she probably wouldn’t have secured the job initially. She was glad to be unaware for the initial round because it allowed her to proceed without feeling overwhelmed.
Although Ygritte was part of the series for just two seasons, her influence on Jon Snow and Kit Harington remains profound.
Reflecting on our dynamic, I’d say we clicked wonderfully, and that first day we filmed together remains my most cherished moment on set for me.
Following her departure from Game of Thrones, Leslie moved on to star in the spin-off series of The Good Wife, titled The Good Fight. She also made a surprise appearance during Kit Harington’s debut as host on Saturday Night Live, playfully heckling him from the audience. Additionally, she landed leading roles in the films The Time Traveler’s Wife and Death on the Nile on the big screen.
And, see above, she shares two children with her husband.
Similar to the character Daenerys Targaryen, portrayed by Emilia Clarke, who was essentially learning and growing as she rose to power on the show, earning a total of four Emmy nominations along the way.
Daenerys Targaryen, the Lady of Dragons, gained such immense popularity that at one point, Beyoncé – mother of Blue Ivy – approached her and exclaimed, “Wow, what a pleasure to meet you! I truly believe you’re extraordinary.
As we eagerly awaited the debut of Game of Thrones’ final season in 2019, I myself shared a deeply personal story in an essay for The New Yorker. You see, before the cameras even rolled for the show’s first season, I had experienced two aneurysms and underwent life-changing brain surgery at the tender age of 24.
She expressed in her writing that the life-altering series was literally a lifesaver for her. Not only did the series as a whole and the family within it make a significant difference, but Daenerys Targaryen, known as Khaleesi and Mother of Dragons, undoubtedly saved her life too.
Since Jon Snow concluded Daenerys’ aggressive reign on the series finale, Clarke has gone on to act in the emotional rollercoaster ‘Last Christmas’ and portray Nina in a West End adaptation of Chekhov’s play, ‘The Seagull’.
As a diehard Game of Thrones fan, I can’t help but marvel at my own journey mirroring Sophie Turner’s. At just 14, she stepped into the world of Westeros, securing her first-ever onscreen role right after an impromptu audition during lunch break at her school.
Through her compelling performance as the tormented yet victorious Sansa, Turner managed to persuade her real-life parents to take in Zunji, the canine who embodied her on-screen dire wolf Lady.
In real life, she had a crush on Justin Bieber which influenced how she portrayed Sansa’s feelings for the unforgivable Joffrey Baratheon. However, in 2019, she wed Joe Jonas instead. Her Stark-related sister, Maisie Williams, was among her bridesmaids.
In September 2023, Turner and Jonas parted ways, yet they are the proud parents of two girls: Willa and Delphine. Notably, the actress has since been in a relationship with British actor Peregrine Pearson.
After her long rule on Game of Thrones ended (and she played the main antagonist in the 2019 X-Men film Dark Phoenix), Turner shifted to television once more, appearing in the 2022 true crime show The Staircase and starring in the 2024 ITV series Joan.
Regarding Joffrey, that notorious character from Game of Thrones, Irish actor Jack Gleeson gave an outstanding performance as the cold, arrogant prince (who later became king and subsequently sought a wife, followed by another).
Following Joffrey’s passing by poison in the year 2014, Gleeson took a break from acting to complete his education at Trinity College Dublin. During this time, he also established the Collapsing Horse Theatre Company along with some of his classmates.
He’s since returned to the small screen, showing up on Sex Education and The Famous Five, and has multiple projects coming up, including Safe Harbor with GOT alum Alfie Allen.
On the personal front, Gleeson married actress Róisín O’Mahony in 2022.
12-year-old aspiring dancer Williams had little prior exposure to “Game of Thrones,” which marked her second audition as her first.
She remarked during an HBO special segment that the experience was much like school for her, shaping her into the person she is today. Her newfound self-assurance, she explained, stems directly from the show and the role of Arya.
However, living under public scrutiny wasn’t a walk in the park for Williams. In an episode of the Happy Place podcast with Fearne Cotton, she candidly admitted, “I experienced quite a few profound realizations where I acknowledged that I wasn’t really happy and that pretending everything was okay wasn’t sustainable.
Following her stint on GOT, Williams expressed a desire to focus on projects that ignite her passion instead of catering to others’ expectations.
Ever since, I’ve had the incredible privilege to grace screens in various roles that have truly ignited my passion. This includes stepping into the shoes of a character in the X-Men spin-off, The New Mutants. Furthermore, I found myself immersed in the U.K. limited series, Two Weeks to Live, and Pistol. Lastly, I was thrilled to portray Christian Dior’s resilient sibling in the Apple TV+ series, The New Look, set during World War II.
In terms of her personal life, Williams had been in a relationship with race car driver Ollie Jackson for several years. Later, she was in a long-term relationship with Reuben Selby up until 2023; their split, which she marked on Instagram as the “end of an era,” signified the conclusion of this phase.
Growing up amidst the chilly English countryside, I was unexpectedly thrust into the role of Bran Stark at a tender age of 10 and found that the soccer field wasn’t my calling. Instead, I sought refuge in another arena – the drama club. This revelation was shared during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Beyond enduring the cold, he found it challenging to enroll at university in the year 2017, all while striving for greatness and performing on the most renowned stage worldwide.
Beyond the constraints of constant attention, he expressed to Esquire U.K., “I couldn’t unwind and socialize by having a drink or getting intoxicated, as people might say, ‘I spotted Bran, and he seemed inebriated.’
He dropped out early, not least due to his intense shooting schedule, but returned to college in 2019 to study neuroscience.
Despite dedicating over half his lifetime to the show, GOT, he expressed in a 2019 essay for The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s truly remarkable how much people cherish what I’ve only played a minor role in, and that is undeniably something extraordinary.
He has since appeared in the 2021 sci-fi thriller Voyagers.
Apart from Sean Bean, who portrayed noble Ned Stark (for a single season), Peter Dinklage stands as the sole original cast member who didn’t need to audition; instead, he was directly chosen to embody the character of Tyrion Lannister.
In a HBO interview, the star of Station Agent expressed his initial skepticism when he learned about a fantasy show considering him, saying, “Yuck, no!” Given my physical stature, I’m not drawn to embodying a fantasy character, he explained. As an actor, I prefer to depict genuine people, and sometimes in the fantasy realm, that authenticity can be overlooked. This opportunity was exactly the opposite of that.
He ultimately won a record four Emmys for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
After the conclusion of “Game of Thrones,” Peter Dinklage has made a significant impact with roles in films such as “Cyrano,” “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” and “Unfrosted.” He has also provided his voice talents to popular shows like “Rick and Morty” and “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
Behind the scenes, he is a father to a daughter born in 2011 and a son born in 2017, both with his theater director spouse Erica Schmidt. She penned the stage play of Cyrano, which was later transformed into his 2021 movie production.
Lena Headey’s close companion, Dinklage, suggested the actress from 300 for the part of Tyrion’s ruthless sister Cersei Lannister, which eventually went to Lena Headey.
During her tenure as a scheming queen regent, Headey experienced a divorce and child custody dispute with musician Peter Loughran in 2012. In the course of the proceedings, he disclosed her reported $1 million per episode earnings from Game of Thrones, using it as an argument for spousal support. The former couple shares a son named Wylie, born in March 2010.
2015 saw the birth of daughter Teddy with long-time director and childhood friend Dan Cadan, who she later married in 2018.
Speaking with The Daily Beast in 2019, the five-time Emmy nominee described her time on Game of Thrones as life-altering. “Playing Cersei for eight years has left a significant impact,” she said, “Now that it’s finished, people associate that character with the show. But if they think that’s all there is to me, I’m more than ready to prove them wrong.
In the same year, she made her mark in the heartwarming wrestling comedy-drama “Fighting With My Family,” which was inspired by true events. Since then, she has been busy with various voice acting projects and has graced our screens in series like “White House Plumbers” and “Beacon 23.
Prior to playing the iconic character Jaime Lannister in “Game of Thrones,” Nikolaj Coster-Waldau initially starred as the lead actor on the brief TV series “New Amsterdam” by NBC.
In an interview, Waldau shared that joining the series felt like being a small puppy. However, after arriving in Belfast, he learned to carry himself with dignity and happiness. Looking back, he feels that he has grown personally from this experience.
As the moment arrived for the Danish actor to bid farewell to the show, he confessed he was taken aback by his own emotions. He tried to remain composed, reminding himself that it was just a job, but as they began speaking, he struggled to explain it, “I guess…something got stuck in my eye.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Ever since his iconic role in “GOT,” Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has graced the big screen with performances in films like “The Silencing,” “Against the Ice,” and “The Flash.” He also shared the limelight with Jennifer Garner in the 2023 Apple TV+ thriller “The Last Thing He Told Me.” In an exciting twist, this series was renewed for a second season in March 2024.
Ever since 1998, I’ve been proudly calling a cozy abode nestled north of Copenhagen home, sharing it with my beloved wife, our two cherished daughters, and our faithful canine companions – none other than the esteemed Sascha Nukâka Motzfeldt.
Following her debut on “GOT” as Brienne of Tarth in season two, Gwendoline Christie was taken aback by the online community who criticized that the 6-foot-3 actress was considered too attractive for the role, as described in George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” books.
In 2019, Brienne shared with Variety that she made her explore aspects of herself that she believed should be hidden due to societal expectations. She felt awkward about expressing her androgyny, strength, and masculinity, as well as her views on female empowerment, gender politics, and inconsistencies in her appearance. Through the process of getting into character, she was compelled to confront these issues head-on, which has turned out to be a wonderful experience for her.
Christie has not only taken up acting, as seen in her leading part in Tim Burton’s “Wednesday”, but she consistently adds an element of excitement on red carpets and during fashion weeks in various cities.
Since 2013, Christie has been in a long-standing relationship with the British fashion designer Giles Deacon. He has crafted several stunning gowns for her most memorable red carpet appearances, referring to her as an exceptional source of inspiration, or simply, a “fantastic muse.
In any given situation, it’s often those who remain unassuming, like John Bradley’s character Samwell Tarly, who proves to be shrewd, faithful, and courageous beyond expectation, shining as a beacon of guidance within the world of “Game of Thrones.
After the conclusion of the show, this classically trained English actor has appeared on British series “Urban Myths” and Australian drama “North Shore”, as well as Netflix’s “3 Body Problem”, a recent creation from “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
In addition, Bradley was featured in the 2022 sci-fi thriller “Moonfall” alongside Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez in their romantic comedy “Marry Me”.
He shared with the Oxford paper Cherwell his thoughts on his time working on “GOT”. He mentioned that being entrusted with such a significant show by those in charge is a positive endorsement of one’s acting abilities. Regarding any potential negativity, he suggested it’s best to brush it off because the experience was so intense and consuming. Now, the focus is to demonstrate versatility and prove we can excel in other roles as well. Even if “GOT” remains the only project one undertakes throughout their career, it still signifies a successful and fulfilling journey.
However, with his extensive experience, he pointed out, “It was an extraordinary stroke of luck that there wasn’t a single individual with a negative disposition or harmful energy among our entire group. Such instances are seldom encountered.
Cultural phenomenons turned out to suit Nathalie Emmanuel, who broke out playing Daenerys’ right-hand woman Missandei and ended up part of the Fast and Furious crew, starring in the past four films as hacktivist Ramsey.
Additionally, the British actress graced our screens in the 2019 limited series of “Four Weddings and a Funeral” on Amazon, and she’s currently working alongside Kevin Hart in the comedy show called “Die Hart.
Emmanuel is a member of the cast for Francis Ford Coppola’s upcoming movie, “Megalopolis,” and appears in John Woo’s action-packed remake of “The Killer” (originally released in 1989), which is now available to stream on Peacock.
She has been dating British actor Alex Lanipekun since 2018.
“The Lovely Richard.”
Turner mentioned that everyone referred to Madden as such on set due to his exceptionally charming demeanor. (Scottish actor)
It was later discovered that he too was financially struggling, as he admitted to Jimmy Fallon that he lived on merely $5 per day before securing the role of Robb Stark, the ill-fated King in the North. In his own words, “I had two choices: I could either purchase one meal, or a newspaper and a beer. Normally, it was the beer that won out.
On the set, Madden openly acknowledged that the notorious 2013 “Red Wedding” episode, marked by numerous deaths, such as Robb’s, was an incredibly difficult day.
However, he subsequently secured a Golden Globe for his performance in the popular Netflix series “Bodyguard,” and has graced the screen in significant films such as the Elton John biopic “Rocketman,” the critically acclaimed World War I drama “1917,” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe film “The Eternals.
Concerning matters outside of work, he simply prefers to maintain privacy in his personal life. In 2019, he told The New York Times, “I’ve never discussed my romantic relationships.
Alfie Allen hails from a well-known family, although not as intricate as Theon Greyjoy’s. His mother is a renowned producer, his father is an actor, and his sister is Lily Allen – making David Harbour his brother-in-law.
After scoring his breakthrough part in 2022, Allen found it necessary to forbid his elder sibling from discussing “Game of Thrones” in public settings.
In a 2014 interview with Australian radio station Nova 969, Lily explained that she was forbidden to utter the initial letters of the show’s title, as Alfie had strictly instructed her to do so.
In various roles, such as those in “Harlots,” “White House Farm,” and a stint on Broadway in “Hangmen,” Allen has demonstrated his versatility. However, it was his chilling portrayal of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh in the independent thriller “McVeigh” that truly stood out, premiering at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival.
Allen welcomed a daughter with partner Allie Teilz in October.
As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but exclaim that Jason Momoa truly outshone every other performance when he embodied the enigmatic Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo. A man of few words, yet his presence was palpable and captivating. Since his brief but impactful stint on Game of Thrones, this extraordinary actor has been consistently delivering stellar performances in project after project.
In the DC Universe, he made his debut as Aquaman, starring in several films including his hit solo movie of 2018 that raked in over $1 billion globally, and the follow-up film, “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” which was initially scheduled for release in 2023 but had to be postponed due to the pandemic.
In 2017, Jason Momoa tied the knot with his long-term companion Lisa Bonet, who is the mother of their two children – Lola Iolani (born in July 2007) and Nakoa-Wolf (December 2008). However, after being together for 17 years, they decided to part ways in 2022. Bonet officially filed for divorce in 2024.
Momoa confirmed in May 2024 via date night PDA that he’s been seeing Adria Arjona.
