Gendry


DrunkenGiant

Recommended Posts

I like the actor. :dunno: I don't really see a problem with his build, either.

His dad was one of the physically strongest men, perhaps the strongest man in the Seven Kingdoms. Gendry is supposed to be the spitting image of his father and supposed looks to have his strength as well.

Someone like Armie Hammer who is 6'5" and only a year older than Joe Dempsie but looks young would have been perfect for the role. Gendry's nickname is the Bull and he is the son of the Demon of the Trident and supposed to have his likeness but a smallish actor was cast.



It would be like casting Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. Oh wait, that has already been done.

I think he's fine. He can pass as Mark Addy's son, which is more important than his muscles, which aren't exactly that bad...



I don't know his career, but it looks like he was slender once. Now he isn't.

I'd say you have to let this one go. Most of the people I talk to about Gendry go "oh the one with the glistening abs." He's pretty well-built. Besides, we haven't seen Bobby in any flashbacks, so it's not like he pales in comparison. And as others pointed out, take a look at Renly.

I'm more miffed by the fact that the Lannister boys are now brunettes.

The guy who plays Gendry looks his part much more than the guy who played Robert.

I tried to find a pic of a young Addy to compare and I couldn't find.

Anyway, Gendry does look like a maiden's fantasy... I guess the show couldn't "sexualize" him that much because he shares screen with Arya, who is still too young.
