Game of Thrones had its fair share of iconic villains. Whether it was ice-cold Night King, brutal Ramsey Bolton or pure evil Cersei Lannister each one of them made us despise them wholeheartedly. However, there was another character who made us hate him with all our hearts. Joffrey Baratheon remember him? Of course, you do! Jack Gleeson who brought the notorious character alive is making a grand comeback after 6 years and we can’t keep calm! Read on.
As per the BBC, the upcoming comedy series Out Of Her Mind is going to star Jack Gleeson after the gap of 6 long years. Gleeson was last seen in Game of Thrones and shocked the world by declaring his retirement from acting.
The actor 27 now, had then said that he had stopped enjoying acting and needed to get away from it.
“I’ve been acting since age 8. I just stopped enjoying it as much as I used to.”
He had said that he didn’t want to make the living out of it:
“And now there’s the prospect of doing it for a living, whereas up until now it was always something I did for recreation with my friends, or in the summer for some fun. I enjoyed it. When you make a living from something, it changes your relationship with it. It’s not like I hate it, it’s just not what I want to do.”
Well, we are glad that he had a change of heart. Industry and audience were definitely missing a gem of a talent.
Along with Gleeson, Out Of Her Mind is going to star Juliet Stevenson (Riviera, One of Us, Truly Madly Deeply), Fiona Button (The Split), Cariad Lloyd (Crims, Peep Show), Adrian Edmondson (Summer Of Rockets, The Young Ones), Navin Chowdhry (Doctor Foster), Sean Gilder (Poldark, The Last Kingdom), Tom Stuart (Psychobitches), Scroobius Pip (Taboo), Jumayn Hunter (Attack The Block), Sheila Reid (Benidorm), Jack Gleeson (Game of Thrones), Cash Holland, Lorraine Ashbourne (The Crown, Cheat) and Cian Barry (Nina Forever, Doctor Foster).
