Last night was the LA premiere of Season 3 Game of Thrones. SO MANY PHOTOS. I had so much looking through these and getting freaked out by how different everybody looks out of their GoT costumes. Since I’m devoting this post to dudes that I would conceivably bang, there will be NO GREYJOYS. Screw the Greyjoys. I’m also thinking about doing a post for the Game of Thrones ladies, just because I have such a girl-crush on Emilia Clarke/The Khaleesi. Unfortunately, we don’t have any photos of Jason Momoa – he was at the premiere, but he didn’t walk the red carpet (you can see photos of Momoa here). Let’s start with Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow (the bastard son of Ned Stark). Jon Snow is really pretty on the show, but his storyline in the second season just annoyed me. And Kit looks kind of puffy and carby here, right? And where the F is his dire wolf?!
Peter Dinklage is so amazing. I love what Game of Thrones has done for him. Sigh… I would hit it.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jamie Lannister) – so evil, so gross, so sister-boning (on the show!). But he is so, so pretty.
Richard Madden (Robb Stark) – I wasn’t into Robb at all in the first season, but his chemistry with that nurse lady in the second season made me think twice about him. Robb can seem very Boy Scout-ish, meaning too straight-arrow, too vanilla. But he really got me going with his love story. That being said, I dig Richard Madden way more in his GoT costume than in a suit.
Okay, one Greyjoy, just because this dude looks so freaky with blonde hair – this is Alfie Allen, who plays that terrible wimp Theon Greyjoy.
Here’s the newest trailer for Season 3. Motherf—king dragons, y’all!!! God, I hope Joffrey eats it. I feel weird saying that about a kid, but it’s the truth. I hope he dies a painful death.

Nikolaj! Sadly (not really, but you know) he’s happily married but he’s my pick all the same 😀
Richard madden is delicious
OMG, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau… *drool*
I have not read the books (on purpose, I want to be surprised every week) and I am worried about his character… I hope nothing bad happens to him because television needs more hot Scandinavians! (no spoilers, I beg you!)
*ahem* Join the queue, sister!
Nikolaj has been hopelessly devoted to me since Wimbledon! (Fun fact; he was Paul Bettany’s best friend in that film).
Also, because he’s Scandi I can talk to him without anyone knowing (although my Danish isn’t too hot, actually. If only he was Norwegian..)
Ja, det ville være flott! 😀
Biting my tongue, biting my tongue, biting my tongue….
You should watch Virtuality. Nikolaj looks really good with cropped hair.
Oh LAWD it’s so hard not to scream out “Spoilerssssss!” and then let er rip with all the stuff that ought to happen this season. I’m seriously biting my lips, that’s how much I want to discuss it. Honestly, people should read the books – they are really, really good.
As for the men here – Nicolaj! So delish.
I read the books and have such a love/hate relationship with Jaime Lannister.
I read the books after the seasons are over – I just want to be surprised by the show. And there’s so much more going on in the books it’s almost like two different experiences. I’m very eager to read the next parts, but I just really enjoy not knowing what’s coming next. 🙂
I saw the episodes for season 1 and then burned through the first 4 books after that!! This series is so incredibly well cast, they REALLY got the chracters right. Helps that Mr. Martin is a big creative force on the show. 🙂 I love Arya to pieces, love where the story goes with Bran, and am girl crushing HARD on Khalisi & her dragons. I would do Jamie, Jon, and/or Tryion, but they have to be in character. “you know NOTHING Jon Snow”
Agreed!! I did hear that they’re killing off some characters who didn’t die in the book. They need to make room for more. I’m waiting for the scene with Jon and Ygritte in the cave!!!
merski I am impressed that you haven’t been spoiled yet. The internet is spoileriffic, I think almost everyone knows what’s going to happen this season.
I know, I’m trying really hard not to read anything GoT-related on the internet. I’m even reading the comments here with my eyes half closed 😛
“Alfie Allen”? Is that Lily Allen’s brother?
Also, I kind of wish I could go into the GOT series without knowing exactly what’s going to happen. I LOVE the books, and LOVE the show, but knowing what’s coming next is kind of killing the fun for me a little bit. Although there are some changes sometimes.
Yep, that’s her brother!
Yes and every time I see him on screen her song ‘Alfie’ runs through my head.
Hahhahahha same here!
if I had to choose one either Madden or Dinklage..
when did carbs become an adjective? what does it mean? bloated? is it a nice way of saying “you’re having a fat day?” odd.
He is about baby-faced, but I think it fits his character and looks rather soulful.
He doesn’t fit the character of Jon Snow at all. Physically, I mean. To pretty, to short, reading the books I imagined Jon to look much more, I don’t know, interesting.
I don’t really remember the books providing any description of Jon Snow beyond having black hair…
Well, I don’t know how the english description goes, but he looks like Ned, he’s tall, pointy, not really handsome.
Give us the khaleesi photos!
Team Arya & all hail the mighty Khalessi. I want a direwolf. I want Arya & Sensa to team up and take down Joffrey and then say “that’s for you, dad”. I want to stand on the Wall with Jon Snow. I just adore GOT and can’t wait for Season 3.
All of these men look far better in their GOT costumes, indeed.
I LOVE the character of Arya. I haven’t read the books, so I’m only speaking in reference to the TV show. The first episode ever, I thought she was just a little brat lol. But they way her character started to develop was just awesome. Who would have thought a “child” character could be so damn interesting!
oh so do I. She’s been perfectly cast. Haven’t read the books so I wait on each episode with bated breath. Interested to see what happens to Sensa. Loved the Hound offering to rescue her and take her back to Winterfell. Sorry I’m digressing… such a GOT fangirl! Dragons are coming!
Gah! Peter Dinklage looks hot! *heart eyes*
Nicolaj, well we can play brothers and sisters anytime you want…..
LOL at Richard Madden’s Superman hairdo 😀
Peter is a great Tyrian Lannister, but he always looks so sullen. I really can’t find anything attractive about him other than his voice.
Game of Thrones – f**k yeah!
Richard madden has great chemistry with Oona Chaplin onscreen (i love her too)
Agree about Richard and Oona’s chemistry.
Jon Snow- all day, erry day.
Is Kit Harrington doing a Blue Steel?
Peter Dinklage is all kinds of awesome. My husband and his friends started using ‘peter dinklage’ as a penis euphemism – “I got hit right in the peter dinklage!” But, really, that is a complement coming from them.
Quibble: I think Oona Chaplin’s character would qualify as a doctor, not a “nurse”. I like her, smart, capable, no patience for BS.
Theon – he almost eclipses my Joffry hatred. Such a damn tool! I want his sister to kick his ass in public.
I’m kind of in love with Cersei Lannister. I don’t know why, I just am. I know it’s sick, but she and Jaime are a HOT couple.
Eek! I meant a “compliment”.
I’ve loved Cersei and Jaime since day one even though my friends give me crap about it! They just go together so well. And I love how Nikolaj is a super vocal fan of them together in all his interviews.
Thanks for doing a men of GoT post. I am kind of tired of Khaleesi as the only person on this show people seem to talk about.
That being said. Kit was not looking his best last night, he does look bloaty and he said he is training (?) for his new movie Pompeii (which does not sound like a good movie). I hate the character of Jaime Lannister so much that I can only find Nikolaj attractive out of character, I just wish he dressed better. For some reason he always looks like he just rolled out of bed. But I’d still hit it.
And best two for last-Peter Dinklage…that man knows how to dress and yes I would hit it because I am always a sucker for a man who dresses well.
Richard Madden, I would hit that constantly. I think he is the most attractive man in Hollywood, doesn’t nearly get the attention he deserves. I love the fact he dresses well and manages to look good for public appearances. And he has been dating the new Dr. Who companion, Jenna Louise Coleman, for the past couple of years.
I totally fangirl over the GoT guys. I can’t help myself.
Of the younger guys, Alfie Allen and Richard Madden are the strongest actors, in that order. Kit only has two facial expressions–he’s just awful.
I love Alfie! He’s great in GoT.
Kit was good in Season 1 although by Season 2 everyone was running circles around him. He has this constant open-mouthed expression which I got bored of after a while.
He was up against Ciaran Hinds this season and I hope Julius Caesar taught him a thing or two about acting.
I really need to watch this show. Alas, no HBO. Why does the guy in the top picks look like he’s about to cry?
No HBO for me either. I’ve watched the entire first and most of the second season via Netflix DVDs.
I haven’t read the books, or quite finished the second season, so forgive my ignorance. But doesn’t it seem like a lot of things would be solved by marrying Daenerys and Joffry? I know the families hate each other and all that, but really, that would give them a very solid claim to the throne.
And then Daenerys’s dragons can “accidentally” light Joffry on fire!
by the end of season 2 you won’t be saying that about Dany & Joffrey. Must watch!
I’ve been reading the books, so I have an idea of what lies ahead. Fasten your seatbelts, me hearties! I won’t slip any spoilers.
I’m all over Dinklage and I love the chemistry between Tyrion and Shae. I am very much looking forward to plenty of Brienne and Jaime. Yum. Desperately want to see Joffreydie a hideous death.
I want some Richard Madden! Kit does nothing for me anymore 🙁 although to be honest they all look better in their GoT costumes.
Re: Talisa. I understand that they were trying to bring more of Robb’s love relationships on the series which is VERY important in the course of the story (and which was rarely seen in the books), but that was the wrong way to go about it.
This ridiculous woman married to Rob Stark isn’t even in the books! Stupid, useless plot point!
Also hate Shae.
Cannot wait ~ Book #3 was EPIC!!!!
Urgh, I totally agree about Talisa! It REALLY changes his character from the books to have him independently decide to fall in love with her. With the HBO changes, he just seems like a big dummy, and every time he’s on screen I want to yell at him for his stupid choices ;/ So my opinion about him is the total opposite of Kaiser’s, ha.
I used to hate Shae, but her scenes with Sansa made her grow on me a little. HBO has actually done a good job with her, IMO. I’m interested to see how they’ll handle the rest of her character arc.
Jesus none of them. MAYBE only that Richard guy. The one named kit kat is especially gross looking, chubby and greasy and like he’d cry if you touched him.
We refer to him as “Emo-boy” in my house.
I still want to bang Ned Stark. GoT just not the same for me without him.
^ this. Sean Bean was it for me, sigh. Jason Momoa was a close second and if i have to be limited to “Guys Who Have Not Died”, then Iain Glen, and I have a soft spot for The Hound. He’s wounded, broken, i could fix him! 🙂 Oh i love this series so much.
Ha-ha, I have a soft spot for the Hound, too 🙂 The Hound character from the books though, because the movie character is kinda creepy…
Yes, Iaian Glen too. I’ve just got a thing for those Northern guys.
But where’s Gendry? And Joffery? The boy who plays Joff has talked about getting punched, kicked, spit on and yelled at in the street. He’s a brilliant villain, it’s so unfair.
Bran is nowhere to be found too. Isaac is seriously very cute.
I haven’t heard that bit about Joffrey, if it’s true then it’s a bit sad. But he must be doing a REALLY REALLY GOOD job if he could get the public riled up with his fictional role.
I have heard that he is very serious with his studies and plans to pursue an academic career than acting. Good for him.
DINKLAGE FOREVER
None of them, thanks.
I wanted Joffrey to die too after the first season but I think somebody told me he’s around until the 3rd book.
And I believe he does die a horrible death.
Linda; may you die of wildfire being lit by Littlefinger and your remains be eaten by Ghost; why?! Why?!
Why tell me these things???
Srsly; but I wish you no harm, girl…
Richard Madden catches my eye. I love that thick, curly, brown-reddish hair on men… seriously drives me wild. His hair is just amazing.
My heart belongs to Kal Drogo though.
Mine, too….sigh.
I just wish Kit would smile more!!! Gosh his smile * whimsically looking away*
Dinky looks how i feel today.
i need some sunny, warmth in my life asap! 😥
I LOVE how the boys look in the series, all of them seem equally drool worthy…but they look so meh in suits. Put them back in costumes please.
It’s all about Peter Dinklage baby! And though Kit Harrington is adorbs he does look puffy in these pics. And the frown isn’t helping either.
Nikolaj is smoldering hot, I just wish he would wear a suit that fits! Looks like he has grapped his little brothers jacket.
He was just bad and sexy in Jo Nesbø’s Headhunters, one of the best movies in 2011!
God, I hope Joffrey eats it. I feel weird saying that about a kid, but it’s the truth. I hope he dies a painful death.
—-
You’ll love the books!!!!
The guy in the fourth and fifth pics…but his suit is too small.
Every one of them is doable except probably the Allen guy. Although I must say he looks better here than he does on the show.
I haven’t watched Season 2 yet but am on my second run of Season 1. I’ve read all the books though and am patiently waiting for Book 5 to be released in paperback although it has been pushed back for the last year and a bit.
Jon Snow looks coked out. His bloated face, his red nostrils, his ‘trying-to-hold-it-together’ expression… Not attractive.
Alfie Allen is Lily Allen’s kid brother.
Meh. Where’s Iain Glen?
I gave up on the show halfway through season 1. Should I give it another shot?
Dinklage is hot..love his craggy face.
Is Kit Harington about to cry??
Dinklage all the way.And Alfie Allen is a very good actor.I want to punch Theon Greyjoy in the tooth more than Joffrey.
Such a dissapointment! Nearly all of them are steaming hot while in character, but judging by these pics, there is very little to get excited about outside the show. Dinklage, no question about it, is the real deal here.
The dude who acts as the sister-effing-Lannister, just because he looks like Leon Kennedy.
I’m fond of Liam Cunningham.
Hmm, the only one here on the H!t L!st is Mr. Dinklage. but I have never seen any of the others in action so I will reserve final judgement until I do.
Tyrion and Robb all the way!
I’m just finishing up on Season 2. Unfortunately I don’t have HBO so I’ll have to wait forever to see season 3!!! :((((
If you have a friend who has HBO you can ask for their login info for HBOgo 🙂
Ugh I’m so disappointed in Kit Harrington looking like a miserable twat. What a waste. He had the same sour faced gormless gawp all of season 2 it was dire. Now he’s just confirmed that art imitates life.
HA!
I was going to call him dull, but miserable twat is so perfect!
Such a shame that King Joffrey was not at the premiere.
boo Joffrey. It’s a credit to his acting skills that Joffrey is such a hated character. He plays him as pure evil. Amazing for such a young actor.
All of them except Joffrey, in this order:
1. Harington (I seriously want to see what it’s like to sit on a face that pretty, and run my fingers through those curls. Also, I’m a little in love with his character)]
2. Dinklage (He plays my favorite character in the Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones series, and I have a feeling he’s as good in bed as his character is supposed to be.)
3. Clarke (She plays my second favorite character and I have a huge girl-crush on her.)
4. Coster-Waldoj (SO PRETTY and he just seems like he’d be a fun guy to hang around. He strikes me as a guy who know a lot of good dirty jokes. No idea why, but he does.)
5. Madden
6. Allen (But only if he dyed his hair back)
Peter Dinklage, his voice does it for me.
Why does Littlefinger never make it into these kinds of posts!?
I would rather Iwan Rheon even though I still wish he and Antonia Thomas would become a real-life couple. Where is he, I thought he was joining the show?
I’ve never started watching Game of Thrones. Is it good and worth starting the series? Can anyone tell me what other show(s) it’s similar to so that I know what to expect?
It’s bloody.
nikolaj (is soooooooooooooo hot!!!!!!!) and peter
Ser Jorah and Joffrey weren’t at the premiere?
No thanks.
WTF is with Kit Harrington? I thought his “woe is me” face in Season 2 was only because of the weather where most of his scenes took place. 😉
Peter Dinklage does it for me when he irreverently smacks Joffrey across the face. I swear Tyrion would (almost) side step an attack on the Lannisters just to revel in Joffrey getting his just desserts!
Arya is awesome! Love Game of Thrones!
I don’t have HBO :((((
Regarding Kit Harington’s dour expression; if you look at photos on other sites of the female cast members, you’ll see that Rose Leslie, i.e. Ygritte, looks just as glum. Rumor was these 2 were dating last year – maybe they’ve since broken up, and have now learned why you shouldn’t date a co-worker, because when it goes bad, you are forced to keep seeing your ex.
You guys make it SO hard not to discuss the books when all of you are saying “I hope this happens to so and so!” I’ve read the first three books so far and I’m really glad I do it before I watch each season. Otherwise I’d be SO lost trying to keep track of all the plotlines, I don’t know how you guys who don’t read them do it! However the books are very dense and I need to take a breather once I finish one.
Theon Greyjoy is Lily Allen’s brother?! Well that’s nice for him I guess… But I don’t find him attractive on the show or in real life…
I’m always confusing Rob and John on screen for some reason, they look way different in real life but they look similar on the show!
Also since I am slowly getting through season 2 of the show (already read the book so you can’t spoil it for me), I’m a bit confused as to why they decided to make the Renly character gay? (Or bisexual in any case?) Because he definitely isn’t in the book!
My sister doesn’t read the books and she gets along fine. When she doesn’t understand a few points she has me as her guide 😀
Renly and Loras were implied to be gay in the book. Credit to GRRM for his subtlety, I prefer it to the show punching us in the face with overtly sexual scenes, not to mention the armpit-shaving between the two.
You can find more clues here http://www.angelfire.com/ma4/mlarchives/faq/lorasrenly.html
Whoa, at that link. I did pick up on the implied relationship, but I missed like 90% of those hints.
Off to read the rest of that site (I can’t resist theories/guesses at future events). Thanks for sharing!
Edit: darn, it’s only current up to book 3. Sigh!
You’re welcome. I do hope they’ll include the quote “When the sun has set, no candle can replace it.” because that is one of my favorites.
AFAIK there aren’t any more hints with books 4-5, but my memory is dodgy right now.
Strangely enough GRRM did the exact opposite with one of the Book 5 characters and explicitly described him as gay.
The imp all the way!
I LOVE all the guys in GoT and all the women, too, except the Joffrey character, ugh. By damn, Peter Dinklage shine your damn shoes for the red carpet, please!
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau!!! ans richard madden too!
