Hodor comes out

Actor Kristian Nairn finally gets asked the gay question

We all remember when during Game of Thrones Hodor went nude, right? No? Here’s a refresher. I’ll let you take a moment to take all of that in. (And if you never watch Game of Thrones, shame on you. Even if it isn’t your thing, the show is filled with beautiful men.)

Back? Okay. Actor Kristian Nairn, best known for his role as Hodor, recently came out in an interview with the Game of Thrones fan site, Winter Is Coming.

He gives a delightful interview, so be sure to read it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go back to daydreaming about being Bran so I can ride Hodor’s back all day long.
