If you're a fan of 'Game of Thrones' (which seems to be just about everybody in the world - and yes, we're also eagerly awaiting the eight season), you probably got angry the moment you saw this picture, and then had to force yourself to remember that the evil boy-King Joffrey was just a character. If you hated him, it's because Jack Gleeson was excellent in his role. Joffrey made our skin crawl, and when he was finally killed off via poisoning at his own wedding viewers quite literally threw parties.
Gleeson enjoyed his time on the show and remains on good terms with his former co-stars, but for now at least, he's decided that acting isn't for him. He wanted to ensure that he had options to fall back on in the future, and so he enrolled as a student at Dublin's Trinity College, studying both theology and philosophy.
