Game of Thrones star treated to some Kilkenny hospitality
Irish actor Jack Gleeson, famous for his role as King Joffrey in Game of Thrones, was given a royal welcome by Kilkenny Taxis & Minibus Hire during a recent transfer to Cork Airport
A Game of Thrones star was treated to some Kilkenny hospitality recently as he made his way to Cork Airport.
Actor Jack Gleeson, best known for his portrayal of the villainous King Joffrey Baratheon in the hit HBO fantasy series, was a special passenger on board with Kilkenny Taxis & Minibus Hire.
The local transport company was delighted to welcome the Irish actor, who proved to be a far cry from his notoriously cruel on-screen character.
Sharing a photograph on social media, Kilkenny Taxis & Minibus Hire said it was a pleasure to have the star on board for his airport transfer.
"Not every day you have royalty travelling with you!" the company joked.
Describing Gleeson as "an absolute gentleman and a pleasure to meet", the Kilkenny-based business was full of praise for its celebrity passenger.
The company added: "From local journeys to airport transfers, you never know who might be travelling with us next!"
Gleeson became a household name for his portrayal of King Joffrey in Game of Thrones, one of television's most successful fantasy dramas.
And while his character might not have been known for his manners, it seems the man behind the Iron Throne left a royal impression.
