Cat! The actor who plays the terrible Aemond Targaryen is completely different from what we see, check it out!

The second season of House of the Dragona spin-off of Game of Thrones, already had its premiere this Sunday (16), after a two-year hiatus, presenting new episodes of the emblematic family driven by blood, fire, dragons and platinum blonde hair: the Targaryens!

In addition to Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), legitimate queen of the Iron Throne, another Targaryen who is catching everyone’s attention is Alicent’s (Olivia Cooke) second son with Viserys I (Paddy Considine), Aemond, played by Ewan Mitchell . The actor has the spotlight for himself due to his enormous transformation to bring to life the prince who was, unknowingly, involved in the famous “Blood and Cheese” moment.

The boy has been wearing an eyepatch over his left eye since it was ripped off by Lucerys Velarion (Harvey Sadler/Elliot Grihault), his nephew and Rhaenyra’s second son, in the first season, while they were both children. Aemond placed a blue sapphire in the place of his original eye and sports a scar in the area. The transformation is so incredible that it would be difficult to recognize the star on the street if you only have the series as a reference.

Who is Ewan Mitchell?

Ewan Mitchell is an English actor, born on March 8, 1997, and is 27 years old. His career in the seventh art began to be built in 2015, when he began to make appearances on British television, in series such as The Halcyon and Grantchester.

A Dark Prince, a Charming Actor

On screen, Aemond is a dark character, with a striking look that conveys his tough and vengeful personality. However, in real life, Ewan Mitchell is surprisingly different. Unlike the menacing prince he plays, Ewan is handsome, friendly and very good-natured. Fans who are lucky enough to meet him at events and conventions are impressed by his charming appearance and friendly demeanor.

Fun Facts About Ewan

• Ewan loves interacting with fans and often shares fun behind-the-scenes moments on his social media.
• He has an infectious sense of humor, which is a stark contrast to his serious and sinister role in House of the Dragon.
• Off set, he is known for his casual style and warm smile, a refreshing sight for those who only know him as the somber Aemond.

Remarkable Transformation

Ewan Mitchell’s transformation to play Aemond Targaryen is truly remarkable. The makeup, visual effects and costumes make him almost unrecognizable. This contrast further highlights his talent as an actor, able to completely lose himself in his character and deliver a performance that resonates with fans of House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones.

Ewan Mitchell proves that even the darkest characters can be played by incredibly lovable and talented people. The duality between his real life and his role in the series only increases fans’ fascination with him and House of the Dragon.
