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

3. Petyr Baelish – Aidan Gillen

There was always something about Petyr Baelish (better known as Littlefinger) that never sat right with fans at home. Maybe it’s the fact that he looks just as much like a sniveling snake as his character has proven to be over the years. Oddly enough, the actor behind the character doesn’t look nearly as sniveling at all. Oddly enough, there’s not much about his appearance in front of the camera that drastically changes how he looks when he’s away from the set. Perhaps, it’s the rather unappealing mustache-goatee combo that makes Aidan Gillen look more like road-killed rodent left on the side of the road in the blazing hot sun. Without that scruffy look on his face, men and women would agree that Gillen looks hotter than the sun.

2. The Hound – Rory McCann

It should be rather fitting that a man dubbed as The Hound has a face that looks like something that a dog chewed up and spit right back out. Rest assured that in real life, the actor’s face doesn’t actually look like overcooked chewed-up baloney pulled off of the carcass of a starving malamute. That’s the product of a devastatingly convincing makeup job. In actuality, Rory McCann actually looks like quite the dashing gentleman. McCann himself has actually had an awfully interesting road to the top. He went from getting fired as an extra on the set of Willow for laughing too much, had a quick 15 minutes of fame thanks to a BAFTA win, and now has become a recognizable face from Game of Thrones, even though his actual face without makeup isn’t as easily recognized.

1. Tyrion Lannister – Peter Dinklage

Tyrion Lannister is often bad-mouthed on the show as some sort of monstrosity due to his dwarfism and is treated even worse in the books. Described in the books as “the youngest of Lord Tywin’s brook and by far the ugliest,” as well as having a “brute’s squashed-in face beneath a swollen shelf of brow” and “one green eye and one black one peered out from under a lock of hair so blonde it seemed white,” Tyrion comes off as one of the most unattractive characters in Game of Thrones history. Apart from the weird eyes, Peter Dinklage more than makes up for it with having a squashed-in face and a “head…too large for his body,” another book attribute. He lives up to his character, but in real life, his looks fall more on the chipper side.
