He disclosed that he was in some serious debt after his character got killed off of “Game of Thrones,” revealing that he and his family “were starving.”
In an interview published this week according to reports by HuffPost, the 41-year-old actor opened up about his career struggles. He explained that after his character, Khal Drogo was dispatched from the hit HBO series in 2011, his financial situation was in confusion..
He told the publication that he and wife, Lisa Bonet were struggling to foot the bills at their home in the Los Angeles area’s Topanga Canyon home, where they live with their two young children. He said:
“I mean, we were starving after ’Game of Thrones.′ I couldn’t get work. It’s very challenging when you have babies and you’re completely in debt.”
Luckily, his situation improved not too long after when he was cast in “Justice League” as Aquaman. He would go on to headline an eponymous film as the character in 2018, upgrading his status in Hollywood as an A-List actor.
