'Game of Thrones' Benjen Stark Is Mysteriously Hunky in Real Life
Game of Thrones fans said goodbye to Benjen Stark during season seven's penultimate episode [...]
Sandor Clegane, 'The Hound'
'The Hound' is unmistakable with his massive scars and giant stature. His actor Rory McCann, however, boasts no such deformity and has no wavy brown hair.
What they lack in physical likeness, McCann and Clegane make up for in demeanor (sort of). The 48-year-old actor is known for living a transient, solitary lifestyle, just as The Hound opts to spend much of his time alone. In fact, while filming for GoT in Iceland, McCann enjoyed the remote location so much, he decided to live there for a year.
prevnextLord Varys
Lordy Varys is perhaps most well known amongst fans for his shaved head, so actor Conleth Hill looks unrecognizable from his character.
"It's funny, because I wasn't bald for 47 years before I did this, so [my hair] is normal to me," Hill said while talking with Business Insider. "But other people get freaked out by the hair."
We can see why!
prevnextOlenna Tyrell
Lady Olenna Tyrell may have been sentenced to death by Queen Cersei earlier in season seven, but she claimed revenge by revealing she orchestrated the death of Cersei's son Joffrey in season 4.
Though we'll miss Olenna's schemes and side grin, she lives on in legendary actress Diane Rigg. As the Google searches for Rigg spiked just after her character's death, fans started to realize that the 79-year-old actress looks quite different from her character once she's out of costume.
She may be missing Olenna's massive headgear, but the bangs suit her just as well.
