WiC Weekly: June 2-8
What happened this week in the wonderful world of Game of Thrones-related news? Well, quite a lot, actually. The cast (former and current) had a wild and crazy time at a series wrap party, we interviewed Hannah Murray (Gilly) and got some juicy tidbits for season 8, and the King’s Landing set on the lot at Titanic Studios went through a major change (hint: it was dragons). Let’s make like a smoke baby being birthed by Melisandre and head on out.
First up, we take a look at how characters on the show would look it they matched their ages from the books. Trust me, it gets weird.
What if the actors on #GameofThrones were the same ages as their characters are in the books? We examine what that would look like: https://t.co/9cOv3vzdBs pic.twitter.com/S0hmMFjQxM
