The guys behind Game of Thrones have gone to interesting lengths in their efforts to cast the right actors
For example, in season four, the character Gregor Clegane will be played by an Icelandic strongman competitor called Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson. The man has never acted before in his life.
Meanwhile, at least six female characters on the show have been played by current or former porn stars.
Warning: Their may be some spoilers below, depending how much Got you’ve seen.
SIBEL KEKILLI
Kekilli appeared as a guest star in season one, and has since become one of the show’s regular characters. The German native plays the role of Tyrion Lannister’s mysterious, headstrong lover, Shae.
Kekilli appeared in a series of adult films more than a decade ago.

Jensen entered the adult business in 2011 and was named “Best Newcomer” at the Producers Awards the following year. Much like Bentley, she has been included on the list of cast members for season four, but we don’t know who she’ll play.
