It's pretty easy to spot Thoros of Myr (Paul Kaye) on Game of Thrones [1]; the 52-year-old English actor [2] is most recognized for his signature topknot [3], scruff, and brown dirty clothes [4]. But when he's not bringing the dead back to life on Game of Thrones, Paul actually looks like a completely normal guy, and to be honest, we'd have a pretty hard time recognizing him on the street.
Paul is just one of the many actors on Game of Thrones who look totally unrecognizable [6] out of costume, and unlike his ballsy character, Paul struggled with moments of insecurity [7] before his first day of filming. "When I first got the gig, I was pretty terrified and couldn't sleep. I got to Belfast and I was being picked up at 4:30 a.m. for filming, and at 2 a.m. I was on Google typing in, 'How to act'," he told UK's Express back in October 2016. "It was like the first day at school. I might be 51 but my confidence levels fluctuate and there was pressure. I've still got to pinch myself that I'm in it after six auditions. Every time I figured it had gone away." Thoros may be long gone [8] on Game of Thrones, but at least we'll always have these photos to remember him by.
