Game of Thrones are wearing clothes and acting scenes and seeing sports. These are their stories.
First up, Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) is showing off her versatility with in a behind-the-scenes pic from new movie, The Personal History of David Copperfield, an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic by Veep creator Armando Iannucci. She plays Jane Murdstone.
With her short black haircut and conservative dress, Christie couldn’t look more different here than on Game of Thrones. She still rocks the look, though. Let’s be honest: she rocks every look.

Best dressed person wherever she goes, this woman.
Coincidentally, Christie’s Thrones costar Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell) recently showed off a markedly different look that also involved a black bob, in this case for her role as the demoness Magda in Penny Dreadful: City of Angels. Short black hair for everyone!

Next up, Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) is developing a new reality show he plans to host with wife Gry Molvær: True Viking, an endurance competition where contestants will spend five weeks in the Norwegian Fjords living as the Vikings did. According to Deadline, they’ll navigate snow-capped mountains, smash through ice go fish for food, build their own shelters, and train for battle.
I got exhausted just reading those words, but for a rough-and-tumble guy like Hivju, it seems just about perfect. Hivju has partnered up with a few production companies currently on the hunt for international distributors for the series.
And finally, Sophie Turner turned out to support the Chicago Bears (represent!) when they played the Oakland Raiders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London this past weekend.
Why were two American football teams playing in London? I don’t know and haven’t looked it up — I prefer the mystery — but clearly the Bears were psyched to have the Queen in the North on their side:
Unfortunately, the Raiders beat the Bears, and the Raiders hit back at Turner with a tweet of their own:
Low blow, Oakland. The North remembers.
