Over the past two months, Game of Thrones Season 5 has generated a fair amount of debate over some pretty serious topics.
As usual, the show went to some dark places, and provided us with some serious nightmare fuel. (Can someone please kill Ramsay Bolton , already? We’re looking at you, Brienne!)
Fortunately, even as winter and White Walkers come baring down on Westeros, the cast of HBO’s most-watched show knows how to have fun on social media.
Check out some of the most memorable pics that the actors and actresses of GoT have posted over the years. You’ll find definitive proof that even if he knows nothing else – Jon Snow knows how to take a selfie.
Emilia Clarke and Nathalie Emmanuel The Khaleesi and Missandei in da club. We can’t decide if they look hotter in or out of costume? Is “both” an acceptable answer?
Lena Headey and Charles Dance Cersei and Tywin Lannister out of character. Looks like they’re a lot more fun in real life.
Alfie Allen and Nathalie Emmanuel Reek and Missandei hanging out. It’s good to see the former Theon Greyjoy smiling for once.
Kit Harington and Richard Madden Jon Snow and Robb Stark together again. Don’t be ashamed if this one makes you a little misty.
Finn Jones and Maisie Williams Loras and Arya in the same selfie. GoT worlds collide on Instagram!
Natalie Dormer, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Pedro Pascal Apparently, the entire cast loved Pedro Pascal. It’s a shame the Mountain didn’t feel the same way about Oberyn.
Jason Momoa and Gwendoline Christie They may have never crossed paths on the show, but it looks like Khal Drogo and Brienne of Tarth get along swimmingly in real life. GoT launched both actors’ careers in a major way.
Peter Dinklage: GRRM Shirt Dinklage makes a simple plea to George R.R. Martin. We’re with him. Unless, of course, he wants to kill Ramsay.
Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, and Nikolai Coster-Waldau A Lannister family reunion. Not surprisingly, it looks like Tyrion isn’t enjoying his siblings’ company.
Kit Harington, Gwendoline Christie and Joe Dempsie Finn Jones, who plays Loras, shared this photo from the set. Looks like the cast was feeling artsy that day.
Kristian Nairn and Jason Momoa Hodor and Khal Drogo just chillin’. We’ve missed both of them this season.
Sophie Turner and Nathalie Emmanuel On the show, they’ve never even been on the same continent. In real life, Sansa and Missandei love to pose for selfies together.
Pedro Pascal and Hafthor Julius Bjornsson Looks like the Mountain and the Viper got along better in real life. This pic gives you an idea of why the smart money was NOT on Oberyn.
Jack Gleeson, Lena Headey Joffrey and Cersei in happier times. Oh, how the Lannisters have fallen.
Pedro Pascal, Nikolai Coster-Waldau Pedro captioned this pic, “Dapper dudes. Done.” That about sums it up.
John Bradley-West, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sophie Turner Sam hanging with some of the ladies of GoT. Fortunately, the set isn’t as much of a sausage party as Castle Black.
Game of Thrones: Cast and Creators Showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff sharing a serious moment with their cast. Looks like the set is just as grim as the show.
Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa reunite here for an epic Instagram photo. We miss these two together on Game of Thrones!
