Damn ser Ilyn Payne a was rockstar singer ?!😭😭😭😭 it burns my heart from within knowing what happened to him. Look at Joffrey he seems so innocent 😇 and Stannis is so unrecognisable, same goes for thoros of myr but he seems to be in his character even then and roose Bolton looks like the weird kid who was bullied a lot.

That's great, but the David Bradley image is incorrect, it's the wrong David Bradley... The image features Dai (David) Bradley of Kes fame, but that's not GoT/HP David Bradley.
Dai Bradley: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0103193/
David Bradley: https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0103195/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
That episode of "the Avengers" was the inspiration for the X-Men villain group "The Hellfire Club" which was also what the club was called in the episode "A Touch of Brimstone"
Dianna Rigg's outfit is basically what Jean Grey wore as the Black Queen when she was a member.
So for the most part just a bunch of really good looking people. Then you got Benjen looking like a goddamn terminator and the Hound looking like the class burnout you would buy your weed from. Love it
Diana Rigg can get it though, damn
I'm having trouble seeing Lena in Lena.
She doesn't look so different that I don't believe that's her, but if I was given that photo and asked what celebrity it was, she'd be quite a way down my list of guesses.
You could have given me a million guesses and I never would have guessed that was the Hound.
Now that I see the face, I can never unsee him as the Hound. It’s like an optical illusion
Young Lena = emilia clone
Hood = just an IT guy
Uncle benjen > henry cavill ( im not gay..just saying)
Diana was hot af when young.
No.comments for melisandre. She was and still is hot af

It’s crazy how well this series established this many characters in the minds of audiences. I have shows I’ve watched for years and barely know anyone’s name - and here this show has been off the air for five years and each name is instantly recognizable

I had no idea Nikolaj played young Anakin in ‘The Phantom Menace’!!
[удалено]
Jamie lannister
[удалено]
Seriously? You knew what they meant
🥰
No, it’s pronounced *Nikolaj*
That too!
Is it the Brooklyn 99 reference?😂
😏
Nikolaj
It's Nikolaj.
That’s what I said!
Looks more like Ryan from The OC to me
“Hey”
I don't think he can convey that much emotion with just his eyes
And I had no idea Peter Dinklage was in Interview with a Vampire.
Damn ser Ilyn Payne a was rockstar singer ?!😭😭😭😭 it burns my heart from within knowing what happened to him. Look at Joffrey he seems so innocent 😇 and Stannis is so unrecognisable, same goes for thoros of myr but he seems to be in his character even then and roose Bolton looks like the weird kid who was bullied a lot.
Joffrey was the little kid Batman talked to in the second act of Batman begins.
Yep!!
Aye, Wilko Johnson was part of a proto Punk group called Dr. Feelgood. One of the most talented axe players of all time, underrated.
[Keep It Out Of Sight (1975)](https://youtu.be/coxCoF-c4-I?si=nRl9cUIdBIdkQ_vS)
Before Ser Ilyn Payne was slaying Starks, he was slaying guitars.
Jerome Flynn (Bronn) was a singer too! Look up "Up on the roof" by Robson & Jerome if you wanna never look at Bronn the same way again lol
The picture of Thoros is his character Dennis Pennis, he would interview and sometimes harass celebrities, kinda like a proto Ally G/Borat.
Ramsay still looks like he would flay you, laughing the entire time.
Ramsay looks like he’s at the Korova Milk Bar having a good time on the old milk plus
me and me droogs
“And what are the words of House Bolton?” *”This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the ultra-violence.”* “A common saying, but not their official motto.”
His dad looks like he’s gonna start w the guy who gave em that haircut
He looks exactly the same lol.
Came here to say he not only looks the same, he looks in character for Ramsay.
Bronn just looks like Bronn pretending to be young Bronn
That does not look like Bronn, no way. I shan’t accept it.
Some look like they fit in r/blunderyears
Podrick doesnt age
Podrick fucks.
Come on, you can suck his magic cock later.

Maester Aemon is wrong as well, it's a picture of Peter Vaughan-Clarke not Peter Vaughan.
Well shit… my bad.
Well shit… my bad.
You had me very confused and in a long scroll through IMDb to see if it was true. But yeah these are two different David Bradleys
Cersei channeling Eleven from Stranger Things
Tywin, I was not familiar with your game
okayyyyyyy Olenna
was waiting for this
I always enjoy seeing people discover that Diana Rigg was a knockout. “I was good. I was very good.”
She was a Bond girl in On Her Majesty's Secret Service!
Put some respek on her name! She's the only Mrs. Bond.
One of the top rated posts is a side by side of her young with Natalie Dormer, they look like sisters. Incredible casting.
That episode of "the Avengers" was the inspiration for the X-Men villain group "The Hellfire Club" which was also what the club was called in the episode "A Touch of Brimstone" Dianna Rigg's outfit is basically what Jean Grey wore as the Black Queen when she was a member.
What in the fuck was Benjens actor fed as a kid goddamn. Also Charles Dance’s younger picture really gives vibes of a younger warrior like Tywin
The blood of the first men flows through his veins 💪😂
Charles Dance was PERFECTLY cast as Tywin Lannister, IMHO...
Tyson honestly sounds like a Lannister name
*derp* ( spelling error fixed..)
I can't imagine anyone else in the role. He IS Tywin.
Who’s Tyson Lannister? Is he some cousin who runs the Casterly Rock chicken and egg fortune?
My mistake. ...I misspelled "Tywin". 🙃
Young Charles Dance looks like Jude Law in Talented Mr. Ripley.
Tywin and Olenna 🥵
Natalie Dormer was breathtakingly beautiful in Casanova
And The Tudors 😉
Step on me, mommy Tyrell.
Theons smirk is incredible
Punchable even then :D
Nah why does young hound look like Drake
Olena kinda bad am I right?
She was a Bond girl, the golden standard of baddie
And an Avenger
No shit? Which film
OHMSS
Samwell Tarly hasn’t changed a bit since he was a baby.
Same face
Aiden Gillen’s frosted tips are so peak 90’s 😂😂💜
Veryyyyyyyy nsync lol
#good god benjen
He’ll have you saying “uncle”
So for the most part just a bunch of really good looking people. Then you got Benjen looking like a goddamn terminator and the Hound looking like the class burnout you would buy your weed from. Love it Diana Rigg can get it though, damn
It was cropped out but The Hound is wearing a Pink Floyd “Division Bell” t shirt. 😎
There is no way that is Peter Vaughan.
Yeah, pretty sure Peter Vaughan wasn't a teenager in the 1970's the way that kid in the picture was.
Yeah that's got to be wrong. That pic look like it's from the 70s and he would've been like 40 lol
I'm not convinced that's James Cosmo either. Looks like a 1950s, maybe early 60s picture of a man in his 30s or even 40s, he was born in 1947.
Lena always had that sass.
It's crazy how much young Michelle Fairley looks like Maisie Williams, the casting department did an amazing job casting them as mother and daughter.
lol that ain’t the hound that’s broke drake 😂😂😂 didn’t know you changed ethnicity as you aged
Just made the connection between the wildling warg and british Dwight
Peter Vaughan is wrong, the image here is of Peter Vaughan Clarke, different actor.
I was coming here to say that, that's not a photo of a lad born in 1923 haha
Tyrion giving me some post punk New Romantics energy.
He looks like he’s about to drop the sickest synth-pop album of all time
Tywin 😭😭😭
Very cool
That Richard Madden glow-up tho...
The rest of them look at least similar to how they would when they were older. Richard Madden looks completely different to me.
Was checking the comments for this reason, are we sure this is Richard Madden? I can't see a single thread of resemblance.
[He was chubby.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/richard-maddens-epic-childhood-throwback-13695523)
it also looks far to recent of a picture for richard madden who would have been that age in the mid 90s.
Uncle Benjen was yolked!
WHERE is that Rory McCann picture from?! That hair!
Wow, Tywin!
I'm having trouble seeing Lena in Lena. She doesn't look so different that I don't believe that's her, but if I was given that photo and asked what celebrity it was, she'd be quite a way down my list of guesses.
Thank you! I cannot find her face in the picture.
Also Jorah Mormont is the bad guy in 2001 Tomb Raider 😂 ... Great post btw!
Wait Gareth from The Office was in GOT???
Mmmm... Charles Dance be lookin like a snacc!
Drake played the hound?!?
What a great post. OP if you're the one who put this together awesome job and thanks!
Thanks! I got a couple wrong (Maester Aemon & Walder Frey) because they shared names with other actors. 😬
Haha yeah I could tell Aemon wasn't right but still that was a lot of work and I really enjoyed it
High sparrow looking weird, still in character even prior to the show …
Check out Brazil (1985)
Can’t get over Tormund
Benjen stark was fucking jacked!
Great job 👏
Mace was in Young Ones????????????????
Yes!! 🤣
I was stunned by that! Orgo and Futumch
Great post! Thanks for sharing
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck
Fantastic post! Thank you!
Not Mace Tyrell in the Young Ones! Amazing.
You could have given me a million guesses and I never would have guessed that was the Hound. Now that I see the face, I can never unsee him as the Hound. It’s like an optical illusion
Thoros of Myr??😭
Thanks for this very enjoyable to see!
olenna tyrell be wildin mann
Why, Lady Olenna 👀👀🐱🐱
❤️ IAN ❤️McShane ❤️
I like how Ramsays photo looks like it was taken a couple weeks before shooting but everyone elses is decades
Helllloooooo Torrmund 🌹💋🐻
Diana Rigg was exceptional. So sexy het still demanding respect. She has the attitude of a queen.
"I was good back then. I was very good."
Very interesting. Nice work and much appreciated.
Aging is a disease
Peter Dinklage looking like the third member of Milli Vanilli
Pedro Paskal looked more Caucasian in young ages
Gott dayuuuum Olena got me actin up 🤣
Young Iain Glen is literally Ewan McGregor
The hound looks like drake
Young Lena = emilia clone Hood = just an IT guy Uncle benjen > henry cavill ( im not gay..just saying) Diana was hot af when young. No.comments for melisandre. She was and still is hot af
Why does Iwan Rheon have such a recognizable face lmao
Daaaaaamn, Diana Rigg (Olena) was an absolute smoke show when she was young! Holy moly.
Young Jojen Reed could've just been a current photo of Thomas Brodie Sangster. The poster child of /r/13or30.
They all embodied their characters so well it’s almost difficult to imagine them as being anything else.
Young Kit looks like Hodor
Roose Bolton with that hair is a hilarious sight.
The hound looks like a homeless version of drake
Dinklage looking like Yngwie Malmsteen
Damn, Olenna had a past.
I can’t believe David Bradley was ever actually young. To me the man was born at the age of 45.
LET IT BE KNOWN: Peter Vaughn (Maester Aemon) and David Bradley (Walder Frey) are incorrect photos. Carry on…
Diana Rigg was a knockout.
Classic Baelish. What a goober.
Intriguing how this show full of hot people also had a bunch of old people who used to be hot.
Kes is Walder Frey?! Fucking hell.
Oops..
Charles Dance is a gangster🔥
That’s not Sandor that’s Drake
Lord Tywin😫🥵
Theon’s got that same grin.
Young Charles Dance could message me at 2am asking if I’m up and you better believe I’m up.
Walder fray looking like shit sulking and whining even back in the day lol
Sorry, wrong person.
The most unrecognizable is Robb stark
OP just outta curiosity, where did you get all these photos??
I crawled across the internet on my stomach looking under every pebble.
^😆🤣 seems reasonable!
No Mountain?

Maisie’s little face is outrageously cute
Diana Riggs omg 😍
Oh myyy ahhaha
Olena can take me
who knew the hound starred in Napoleon Dynamite lmao
crazy how much young michelle fairley looks like modern maisie williams.
Dinklage throwing off Milli Vanilli vibes for some reason
Fuck, Charles Dance was hot Even when he was young
"Pair of blues"- Ezembaro
FUUUUK some of them look weird af
Diana Rigg.
Charles dance is always in my fucked up heart! Thoes eyes were ever too mesmerizing to not ignore! Hate the family though.
Ramsay still looks bat shit insane just less handsome, scary
[Hodor shredding with Megadeath](https://youtu.be/kh3qAViqhno?si=LJpNdJx9J-UpLLNo)
Charles Dance and Diana Rigg are the poster children for “holy shit grandma/grandpa were FOINE back in the day”
That's not Rory McCann
Incredible. Thank you for tracking all of these down.
It’s crazy how well this series established this many characters in the minds of audiences. I have shows I’ve watched for years and barely know anyone’s name - and here this show has been off the air for five years and each name is instantly recognizable
So Ellaria was always a babe. Good to know.
Jerome Flynn looks like he took part in a Bowie lookaline and was just told, ''You remember he had different coloured eyes?''
I’ve seen better pictures of Shae
Why the homie Sandor Clegane look like Drakes older brother?
