Photo Blind Item 42

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] We’ve talked about this actor in the past few months.

Despite our familiarity with him and his work, when shown this old photo of him… we didn’t even realize who it was!

A few hints:

  • The coloring in the photo is a bit off, so you may not be able to tell that he has blue eyes.
  • He is known for being a little wild.
  • He is attracted to big women.

Can you guess who it is without cheating?

SOLVED!

Actor/Any of his projects or characters: Kristofer Hivju, who plays Tormund Giantsbane on Game of Thrones

The Game of Thrones finale is this Sunday night!

The one character we are definitely going to miss when the series ends is Tormund Giantsbane.

His red hair and beard (“Gingers are beautiful. We are kissed by fire!”) … his Wildling ferocity… his sense of humor… his beautiful blue eyes (“I’ve always had blue eyes!”)… and his adorable pining for Brienne of Tarth (“Is the big woman here?) were all brought to life by the incredible actor Norwegian Kristofer Hivju.

Here are a couple more photos to show you what Hivju looks like in real life.

How could you not love that face?

Congratulations to Otter24 for being first with the correct response!

We’ll be watching with you to see who wins the Game of Thrones!

Enjoy the series finale!

    Kristofer Hivju! I’ve only seen him in GoT, but I love him. So sad things didn’t work out the way he wanted them to but at least he got Ghost

    The actor who plays Tormund on Game of Thrones. Love love love his character!! He provides comic relief on an otherwise serious show.

  38. Becky S says

    The Giantsbane fellow In Game of Thrones, Kristofer something, who was wild about Brienne of Tarth.

    Loved his character.

  41. gatovida says

    Why it’s Tormund Giantsbane, of course! Kristofer Hivju was a cutie… Love him!

    Kristofer Hivju aka Tormund Giantsbane

    I love him as Tormund! Haven’t seen him in anything else.

  48. KrazyCatLady says

    It looks like a weird Matthew McCoughnahey it Christian Bale but I think I’m way off.

  49. Kellikopter says

    Idk his name, but it’s the actor who plays Tormund Giantsbane. The hints have
    clues that reference GoT.
    2. “wild” alludes to Wildlings, although he’s Free Folk
    3. “Likes big women” is alluding to his crush on Brienne of Tarth on the show.

  53. PatioPrincess says

    MacCauly Culkin with a wig on. Some photos make a person unrecognizable like this one. It also could be Matthew McConaghy.

    Actor/Any of his projects or characters:
    Kristofer Hivju/Thormund Giantsbane from Game of Thrones

    LOVE HIM!!
    He brought the most amazing humour to GOT and was one of the standouts of the final two seasons. My one complaint is that Brienne of Tarth fell did not fall in love with him. So sad!

  68. elisemh says

    The guy who plays Tormud Giantsbane In GoT
    I love him! He brings a little life to the show. Since Tyrion went all serious/righteous there’s not much levity anymore. Seems like he’d be fun to hang with IRL too

  72. mrs_right says

    Yes! It’s the actor who play the Giansbane character (a wildling) on GoT.

    Love him!

  80. MzDBDB says

    Kristofer Hivju from Game of Thrones? The one in love with Brienne (big woman).

  82. with a twist says

    Omg, it’s Tormund Giantsbae….sorry, Giantsbane! I figured that’s who it was even before the clues, although they helped!

    Real name Kristofer Hivju (yes, I had to Google how to spell it).

  85. aaaSLF79 says

    I think he’s Kristofer Hivju, Tormund of GoT.
    Love him, the season 8 best scenes so far are his!
    “The big woman still here?”😂🤣🤣

  87. pajuxy says

    Gonna guess kristofer hivju from game of thrones. Took me a min. Thought it could be Michael Fassbender but the clues didn’t make sense. Likes big women is referring to Brienne of Tarth I think. Great photo blind!

  90. CherryBomb27 says

    It’s Kristopher Hivju aka Tormund from GOT! I absolutely adore Tormund, he’s a good man and Brienne made the wrong choice!!
