15 Unattractive Game Of Thrones Characters Who Look Hot In Real Life

13. Gilly – Hannah Murray

Sometimes, all it takes is some dirt smudged across the face for a normally stunning actress to look unlike her usual beautiful self. Take Hannah Murray for example. Whenever she’s playing Gilly on Game of Thrones, she’s playing one of the show’s resident Free Folk, and the Free Folk have never been the wealthiest, most luxurious people in the show’s history. To fit the part, she’s covered in dirt and tattered rags that she has to wear on a daily basis. Those who’ve never seen Hannah Murray outside of Game of Thrones were shocked to see how she looks in real life once she started hitting the red carpets.

12. Brienne of Tarth- Gwendoline Christie

As a soldier at heart and a fighter at her core, Brienne of Tarth was never a character who was going to win any beauty contests. With fighting the good fight being the main thing on her mind at all time, external beauty was never a priority for Brienne. Looking at how rough, bloodied, and battered Brienne tends to look like on the show on a regular basis, audiences would have been justified to be rightfully shocked to see what the actress looks like in real life. In direct contrast to her character’s more masculine presentation, Gwendoline Christie fits a more feminine aesthetic. The actress’s towering stature standing at 6’3 has allowed her a number of acting opportunities to play characters similar to Brienne. Most recently, she’s playing Captain Phasma for the new Star Wars sequel trilogy.

11. Septa Unella – Hannah Waddingham

Considering the fact that a major bulk of Septa Unella’s screen time sees her wrapped up from head to toe, we don’t usually see much of the actress herself. When she’s not playing the character on Game of Thrones, Hannah Waddingham is a highly accomplished theater actress and singer. She found her career breakout in playing the Wicked Witch of the West for a West End production of The Wizard of Oz. Her performance won the whatsonstage.com Theatregoers Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical, and Waddingham’s career started to truly sail off from there. She wound up nabbing her first lead role in the theater production of Kiss Me, Kate and then fell into several television appearances, her role on Game of Thrones being one of them.

10. Ramsay Bolton – Iwan Rheon

Ramsay Bolton was just the worst. The guy gave King Joffrey a run for his money as the most hated character in the history of the series. He truly was a despicable character. In real life, Iwan Rheon doesn’t look or come off as nearly the same kind of nasty villain as his Game of Thronescounterpart. While Ramsay the character always looked just as ugly on the outside as he was on the inside, Rheon actually looks quite ravishing. We’ve stated that most of the men on this list look like leading-man material in real life, but Rheon is already on the cusp of Hollywood stardom. After breaking out as the star of the UK superhero series, Misfits, and following that up with Game of Thrones, Rheon is set for another starring role in Marvel’s Inhumans.
