 Fans had very vocal reactions to the final season of Game of Thrones and that sentiment was also felt by some of the cast, including Conleth Hill. Conleth is almost unrecognisable out of his costume but the 58-year-old portrayed Varys, a key player in Westeros and a fan favourite. Back in 2019, fans spotted the Irish actor's face during a filmed read-through was less than pleased at his character's untimely end. As good an actor as Conleth is, it's hard to hide the disappointment felt in that final season, especially after all the build-up.

In the four years since the show ended, cast members have addressed their complex relationship with it and now Conleth has confessed he felt 'frustrated'. Conleth is almost unrecognisable as Varys (Picture: HBO) He looked visibly upset as the cast read the final season (Picture: HBO) Master of whispers, Varys, was one of the few cast members who survived from series one right the way through – although not quite to the very end.

Voicing a common complaint levied at the final season, Conleth told The Times: 'I felt that last series was a bit rushed. I was inconsolable, but now I'm fine about it.' He sat away from the table as his character met an unfortunate end (Picture: HBO) Gwendoline Christie and Conleth comforted each other (Picture: HBO) Varys' shock death had a mixed response from fans, who adored the Spider, but it wasn't the only poorly received decision in the final season.
