Contrary to what I assumed, the cast of Game of Thrones wasn’t always made up of hefty tribal warlords and fire-resistant blondes. All of them have old, varied, and highly embarrassing pictures of them floating around in the den of all things unforgiving, the internet. From Tyrion sporting a tragic mullet to Petyr Baelish rocking blonde streaks circa NSYNC (whenever that was), here’s a look at some before and after pictures of our GoT faves.

Varys had hair, Khal Drogo wasn’t always a hulking beast and Jorah Mormont looked like he was a total chick magnet. My whole life was a lie!
