‘Game of Thrones’ star Jack Gleeson Quit acting after the show because he couldn’t handle his new found fame

“It was always a recreation before,” he explained, “but when I started doing Game of Thrones perhaps the reality was made too real for me.

Gleeson also admitted that he doesn’t watch Game of Thrones because the cruel King Joffery is “too maniacal and unredeemable” for him to bear. “You tend to abstract yourself from the creepiness of it when you’re playing it, but when you see it on television, it sends shivers down my spine.”
