Game of Thrones, again: the actors ages
May. 18th, 2011 08:59 amI have been wondering about this for ages: everyone in the series looks so much older than I have imagined them to be, practically everyone. It bothers me in few cases , especially with Cersei who is supposed to be this undenied beauty of her kingdom, but as much as I think Lena H. is a gorgeous woman, she is not beautiful enough. I am also not happy that The Hound is so much older (although I like how Rory McCann plays him), but I fear The Hound's story is not going to be quite the same as in the books anyways.
There was a very interesting post in Russian "Game of Thrones" community, here, by
serebrenikoff.I added Bran's age myself.
In tangential note, whilst looking for GoT communities (as obsessed person I am), I also found French, Italian and Spanish GoT communities on Lj , which is awesome.
Here is the translated age table (please let me know if anything is not correct):
I wonder if it is just me or if the fact that so many characters are older bothers anyone else?
Also, some of the characters are not in the list, please let me know if you know the ages in the book and TV for:
Petyr Baelish
Lysa Arryn
Barristan Selmy
Renly Baratheon
Loras
