Game of Thrones Cast: Then & Now
Game of Thrones season seven is sadly over but that has not stopped our obsession. With conspiracy theories and predictions all over our news feeds, we've taken a different route and thrown it back to the early days.
Since the show began in 2011, it would be an understatement to say that their characters have gone through a lot as they've risen up the ranks of Westeros. Though many characters have been dramatically and unexpectedly killed off (lest us forget the Red Wedding), the remaining actors have grown up before our very eyes. Take a look at our favourite stars as you've never seen them before...

Peter Dinklage plays smart-talking and smart-thinking Tyrion Lannister but before that...
Getty Images... the Game of Thrones star was in a, wait for it, PUNK BAND in the early 90s. Called Whizzy, Dinklage was the frontman. Much to our disappointment (but probably not Peter's), there is no actual footage available.
Kit Harrington
Kit Harrington (or Fit Harrington as we like to call him) is known for his impeccable locks - often scraped back into a man bun....
Rex FeaturesKit looks unrecognizable without his trademark long locks and rugged facial hair. Back in 2009, he was all about the baby face look.
Lena Headey
Game of Thrones fans will know Lena as blonde ice queen Cersei Lannister. But that hasn't always been the case...
Rex FeaturesBack in 1994, Lena Heady was serving all the 90s sass while sporting a brunette bop - so chic. And how cool is that jacket?
Rex FeaturesMaisie Williams
Viewers have watched MaisIe grow up on Game of Thrones and in the latest season, her character, Arya Stark, not only looks older but turns out to become a lot more powerful.
Rex FeaturesMaise Williams
But how cute and innocent does she look here? At the age of 14, Maisie sported a fresh face and shorter hair style as she attended a cast signing for the show in 2011.
Sophie Turner
Like Maisie, we've watched Sophie Turner transform from sweet teenage girl to perceptive and power woman. But one thing has always remained the same...
Rex Features.. Her gorgeous red locks! Here she is aged 16 in 2012 at a Game of Thrones DVD launch party.
Alfie Allen
He may not have a penis but Alfie's character Theon Greyjoy does have some undeniably sharp cheekbones. But ever wondered what the bad boy gone good looked like in his younger years? Wonder no more...
Rex FeaturesBack in 2007, a 20-year-old Alfie rocked a clean shaven face and was all about the adorability factor.
Nathalie Emmanuel
Nathalie joined the Game of Thrones cast in 2013 as Missandei, a slave/interpreter who was freed by Daenerys and becomes her loyal sidekick.
Getty ImagesIn this throwback photo from the British Soap Awards in 2007, Nathalie looks just as gorgeous with her signature locks braided into a youthful style.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Nikolaj plays Jamie Lannister, known as an amoral knight of House Lannister, one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the whole of Westeros, but his character has definetly evolved over the six series. We are eagerly awaiting his reaction to the events at the end of series 6 no spoilers here.

Isaac Hempstead Wright
Isaac joined the Game of Thrones cast when he was just 11 years old, portraying Bran Stark who suffers a near-fatal accident at the end of the very first episode and is forced to embrace surprising new talents.
Rex FeaturesShooting up to 5"9 throughout the HBO series, Isaac looks adorable in this photo from 2011.
