It’s been over a decade since the first episode of the hit series Game of Thrones aired.
Ned Stark’s youngest child Rickon who was played by Art Parkinson looks unrecognisable since starring in the HBO series.
Fans of the fictional fantasy series will remember Art as a baby-faced actor who started off as a guest star in season one of GoT and later returned in his role for the second and third series.
Now the 20-years-old has well and truly grown up.
The actor was born in the seaside village of Morville, Ulster in Ireland in 2001.
Art is definitely best known for playing Rickon however he has appeared in many other films and series.
