Things we didn't think we'd learn today:
- Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) once was a member of NSYNC.
- Olenna Tyrell (Diana Rigg) looked weirdly like Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer).
- Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) looks sweet with a mullet.
However, we are now glad that we learned these things.
Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, revealed recently that she adopted Zunni, the dog who plays her dire wolf Lady on the show. She says, "Growing up I always wanted a dog, but my parents never wanted one. We kind of fell in love with my character's dire wolf, Lady, on set." Once Zunni had finished filming for the show, Sophie got to adopt her very own dire wolf.
A few weeks ago we ran a list of photos the Game of Thrones cast comparing their past appearances to how they looked now.
Well now we're back for part 2, with some more characters (and a few new photos of several cast members).
Things we learned from this one:
- The Mountain wasn't always a mountain
- Charles Dance has always been a BAMF.
- Bronn looks a little strange as a blonde.

George RR Martin announced that he won't be attending San Diego Comic Con this year (as well as World Fantasy Con) because he's staying home to focus on writing Winds of Winter. Hear that? That's the sound of the bevy of "why isn't he writing?!" complaints you were going to hear during con season getting quashed in the background. GRRM did add however, that if he finishes the novel before the con (ha!) he reserves the right to change his mind and attend afterall.
