How old is everyone suppose to be?


In Episode 1 how old King Viserys, Daemon and Rhaenyra are?

When she married?

When change of actress happened?

How old all kids were in episode 7 when the eye thing happened?

Now ts another time jump in episode 8 where kids are grown up. So Rhaenyra and Alicent are suppose to be 40? And Daemon like 50? How much older then Rhaenyra Daemon was?



reply

Rhaenyra was 8 years old in ep 1.
Daemon was 24.
Criston Cole 23
Alicent 17
King Viserys 28
Now when the time jump happened, Rhaenyra was 28(when Joffrey was born), so the time jump was 20 years from ep 1.

Is that according to the book? B/c they changed the ages for the show. Alicent is 14, Rhaenyra 13, when we meet them.

reply

Yup, according to book.

LOL.

They should have cast children for earlier episodes then.

Because everyone’s age is so confusing.

Rhaenyra looks at least 15 in first episode. Well because she was played by 21 years old actress.
And to me she looks 35 in episode 7, having 3 kids. Actress just looks old. Maybe its the grey hair.

Daemon always looked 35. NO matter the time he is in )))

King Viserys looked like a 40 years old wise man in episode 1, Having teenage daughter and all. And being played by the actor who was 48 years old. Now they aged him and he looks like he is 65.

Alicent looked 17 in episode 1. Now she looks 28 like the actress playing her. Which is confusing because her Finn Woolfhad-like son looks to be 15 at least. He was played by actor who was 19 at the time.

Criston Cole looks to be 25 the whole time.

Yeah, definitely throws you out of the element. It's getting hard to follow now : script was all over the place, now actors are. People gonna lose interest soon (if they didn't already)
