Star of the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones,” Jerome Flynn, will appear in the upcoming Yellowstone prequel, “1923.
In the States, Flynn is recognized primarily for his role as Bronn, the sellsword who grew very close to House Lannister on the HBO fantasy show.
His addition to the Yellowstone franchise was recently announced by Deadline, though it is unclear how similar his new persona may be to his previous ones.
In 1923, the second prequel spinoff to Yellowstone on the Paramount Network, Flynn joins an all-star cast that also includes Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.
Although he may not be as well-known as his co-stars, Flynn has become a worldwide celebrity in recent years. Flynn’s fan base kept him on Game of Thrones for years, even though the part of Bronn didn’t have to be as significant or as long-lasting as he made it.
Flynn’s English birth and upbringing made it natural for him to follow in his parent’s footsteps and become an actor.
Before his international success, he was recognized for various roles on ITV, and he had retired from acting for over ten years before being offered the part on Game of Thrones.
In the first few seasons of “Game of Thrones,” Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) comes to trust Bronn because of his ruthless pragmatism as a fighter.
In the books, he is given an arranged marriage to a noblewoman outside the capital, but he has retained a part of the main plot by the show’s producers.
Flynn’s portrayal of the role and his overall popularity are much to credit for his survival, especially considering the ease with which he could have been eliminated had real-life drama not intervened.
Flynn dated his GoT co-star Lena Headey for a while, but they split up at the beginning of 2014. Queen Cersei Lannister, portrayed by Headey.
The Telegraph reported at the time that their romance had ended badly and that the production had made arrangements to keep them apart during filming.
Later, at Con of Thrones, Flynn disabused fans of this belief by saying it was an outright fabrication.
We were in the same scene together,” he reportedly told Huffington Post.
The last time I spoke to Lena, we were having a pleasant conversation, so don’t believe everything you read; as I mentioned before, the media can get quite thirsty for stories. Lena is a beautiful person and a wonderful actor.
