Yep and a couple of time is described with a flat muscled stomach and *insert glee and fangirlism*
Lol. I don't know. Idris Elba looks very good and I wouldn't mind his body on my screen XD but I always pictured every Greyjoy very pale, dark ébene hair a bit messy because of the salty winds and blue striking eyes. That's why I was a bit bumed out when I first saw TV!Theon. He looks nothing like a Greyjoy. Those people are vikings practically (minus the blond hair).
VIKINGS!!! - My brain switches off and fangirlism continues.
Yes, I don't think Idris Elba fits the physical description, but there is just something about him that fits my understanding of the charcter (apart from flat stomach). He plays conflicted very well.
I pictured them to be dark, as in dark hair and olive skin, don't know why.
Me too! But I am scared they are going to rename Asha as they said. :(
OMPH! Mads would have made my perfect Euron, he does crazy so well! ** fingers crossed ** I don't see James Purefoy in this role (as some suggested), though, NOT AT ALL. I love the guy but he does not have a gravity of a viking.
I don't think Purefoy would fit for any Greyjoy either as much as I love him. The first time I heard it I was happy then after 5 min I was "oh wait not for the Greyjoy's".
I believe he would make a very good Mance Rayder on the other hand.
They better not carry that rename thing. It's ridiculous not to mention insulting to the viewers intelligence.
Mads would be so incredible. I don't even know why the fandom isn't all over this but people are more looking for the Stannis/Mel/Davos cast so it's only fair.
Oh God, Mads Mikkelsen would be incredible, although it's not at all how I imagined Euron. Tbh I imagined Euron less serious and with more trolling, and somehow I think Mads would play him more seriously. But I want someone with more of a smile on his face to play Euron. He's a pirate troll, he must smile! ;D
Mhm, yeah. Makes sense. But I still won't be too disappointed to see someone else in the role. I hope they won't cut Damphair from the show, he's hilarious. Actually I find all of the Greyjoys hilarious, I just can't take any of them seriously.
Haven't seen that one. The title alone sounds like fun, though.

And then Nikolaj will be able to talk danish on the set XD.

I am not so worried about Stannis, but I'd like a nice Davos. Please, HBO Powers to be, a nice ginger-haired Davos?
