THE INTERNET HAS uncovered some photos of the Game of Thrones cast from a George RR Martin book signing in Belfast in 2009 and my, how they’ve grown. 

The photos were taken by fan Adam Whitehead before the first season even aired.

Here’s Kit Harrington AKA Jon Snow, who was “exhausted after three 17-hour shooting days on the trot”.

Here’s Kit Harrington, presumably well-rested.
