If you watched the latest episode of Game Of Thrones (which of course you did), you’ll know that things are taking a serious turn, and it’s all the Night King’s fault.

He and his ice-cold bros have made their way down to Winterfell to cause absolute mayhem amongst the living, who are being led by Daenerys and her boyfriend/nephew Jon Snow.

But forget all that nasty business because we’ve just remembered that the actor who plays the Night King is pretty damn hot. Yes we’re shallow, and yes we’re fine with that.

Vladimir Furdik has been playing the Night King since season 6 (Richard Brake portrayed him in seasons 4 and 5). He’s been working on the HBO show in one way or another since 2015. As well as playing that jerk, the Night King, Vladimir has also worked as a stunt performer and stunt supervisor on GOT.

You’ll remember the 38-year-old best with his icy blue makeup on, but he also starred as the Night King before he became, erm the Night King.

Here he is during that iconic moment when Leaf turns him from simply one of the ‘First Men’ to the NK himself. There's nothing hotter than a guy in lace-up trousers, right?
