you’ve seen them swear fight drink and
more but how much do you really know
about the cast of HBO’s long-running
fantasy series hey guys i’m rebecca from
watch mojo and today we’re counting down
our picks for the top 10 things you
didn’t know about the cast of Game of
Thrones think you know Game of Thrones
click below to sign in with your Google
or Facebook account and take the new
trivia quiz on watchmojo.com we’re not
really doing behind the scenes show
facts for this one it’s really
interesting but lesser known facts about
the stars of the show
alright you drink and you know things
who would see if you know this number 10
Natalie Dormer is an excellent fencer
citizens of the Seven Kingdoms can thank
the old gods and the new for keeping a
sword out of Margaery Tyrell hands
because there’s no telling what she
would have done had she been given the
opportunity to flash her extraordinary
skills with a blade okay we get it
Tyrell is a fictional character but the
woman portraying her on screen is mighty
handy when it comes to brandishing a
sword
dormer is an avid fencer and was
previously a member of the London
fencing Academy we bet she had a few
tips for some of her Game of Thrones
cast mates during their many fight
scenes number 9 Diana Rigg played a Bond
girl for the better part of five seasons
Diana Riggs portrayal of Olenna Tyrell
was one of the show’s most entertaining
the sharp-tongued Lady of Highgarden
never backed down from a fight
matching wits with everyone from
Littlefinger to Cersei Lannister we
should have stayed well out of all this
if you ask me ironically enough Diana
Rigg is just as badass as her on-screen
counterpart Rigg played Contessa to
raise a diva Kenzo in 1969 S on Her
Majesty’s Secret Service and the
character holds the unique distinction
of being the only woman to ever marry
James Bond most actors would thank their
lucky stars for being able to land a
juicy role like Olenna Tyrell but the
fact of the matter is Diana Rigg has
been doing it for decades
remember obey your husband in all things
you promised me but of course
as I always a big number 8 Lena Headey
and Jerome Flynn don’t get along that is
a lovely tie it’s a shame it’s around
such a worthless name eagle-eyed fans
may have noticed that Lena Headey and
Jerome Flynn who plays Cersei and bran
respectively rarely if ever appear on
screen together making this especially
odd is the fact that both of their
characters spend the majority of their
time in King’s Landing so what gives
well it turns out that Headey and Flynn
used to date but the things didn’t
exactly end well nowadays they aren’t on
speaking terms and have made it clear to
Game of Thrones showrunners David
Benioff and DB Weiss that they won’t
appear in scenes together
that’s a shame because a little verbal
repartee between Cersei and Bronn would
make for some damn good television
number 7 Rose Leslie is a descendant of
[Music]
why didn’t they stay in the cave sorry
the end of Jon Snow and Ygritte
ill-fated relationship still leaves a
sour taste in our mouths you know who
doesn’t have a sour taste in her mouth
though Rose Leslie not only is she an
internationally recognized actress she’s
also a descendant of king charles ii who
ruled England Scotland and Ireland from
1660 to 1685 I seems you only attacked
Leslie’s mother Candida marry Sybil
Leslie is the great-granddaughter of
Simon Fraser a Scottish Lord and
descendant of the 17th century King not
to be outdone Oona Chaplin who played
Robb Stark’s wife in seasons two and
three is the granddaughter of the
legendary actor Charlie Chaplin small
world number six
Rory McCann seriously injured himself in
Sandor the Hound Clegane whose expletive
laced dialogue and brutal fighting style
of shocked and awed fans since Game of
Thrones inaugural season has been
brilliantly brought to life by Scottish
actor Rory McCann however it almost
never happened in 1990 McCann was rock
climbing in northern England Yorkshire
County when he was involved in a
near-fatal accident in which he broke
both of his ankles an arm and a wrist oh
and he also fractured his skull
thankfully he was able to make a full
recovery
hearing this story makes the hounds
fight with Brienne look like a walk in
the park when I found you I thought
you’ve been dead for days while he was
sinking already and you had bugs all
over you and BOM was coming through it
right there number five Peter Dinklage
and Lena Headey are best friends
sometimes I wonder what if this is the
price
for what we’ve done for our sins unlike
their on-screen counterparts Tyrion and
Cersei Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey
are thick as thieves in fact much like
all of the other best friends in the
world these two have a hard time looking
each other in the eye during serious
moments in a reddit AMA Dinklage claimed
that he and he D quotes sometimes have
to avoid eye contact so we don’t crack
up
it’s strange to imagine these two
goofing around on set when the
characters they portray want nothing
more than to strangle one another no one
would’ve dad never be more sorry about
number four Jacob Anderson is a musician
Bizzy is our GD Glee score also JV Rosa
protocol novo in a show noted for its
strong silent types Jacob Anderson’s
portrayal of grey worm is the benchmark
against which all others are judged
however in real life Anderson is a man
of many words in fact when he moved to
London at the age of 17 it was in
pursuit of a musical career nowadays
Anderson performs under the stage name
Raleigh Ritchie and to tell you the
truth he’s pretty damn good
his single stronger than ever peaked at
number 30 on the UK Singles Chart and in
2016 he dropped his debut studio album
you’re a man now boy to rave reviews
number 3 Kristian Nairn is a DJ I was
quite a shy
myself my music my kitty here when he’s
not holding doors or carrying bran on
his back Kristian Nairn best known for
his portrayal of Hodor on Game of
Thrones his busy spinning beats at
festivals and nightclubs Naren who is a
progressive house DJ has been in the
music game for over 20 years
in fact Hodor was his first acting
credit he used to be the resident DJ at
a gay club in Belfast and in 2014 toured
the US and Australia in a stroke of
marketing genius he called the tour rave
of Thrones brilliant number 2 Hoff
thought julia’s Bernsen is the world’s
second strongest man one look at half
their Ullaeus bjornsen and becomes
painstakingly clear why he was cast in
the role of Sir Gregor the mountain
Clegane in Game of Thrones at 6 feet 9
inches tall and weighing 400 pounds the
man is a behemoth so it should come as
no surprise that when he isn’t grinding
other people’s bones to make his bread
on Game of Thrones
he’s busy competing in strongman
competitions around the world
he’s been crowned Europe’s strongest man
three times Iceland’s Strongest Man
seven times and came in second in the
World’s Strongest Man competition in
2014
2016 and 2017 after Ullaeus bjornsen

UK Singles Chart for seven straight
