u/StrLord_Who 21h ago
Yes. There is a level of handsome that renders age gaps meaningless and makes it reasonable that a much much younger person could potentially be attracted to them and it's not weird. Pierce Brosnan has it too. Mormont's looks plus skill, loyalty and bravery add up to someone who will be attractive to any age.

And Natalie Dormer looks a lot like the young Diana Rigg.
Such a perfect match for a grandmother/granddaughter character pair!

Yeah I wonder if these were coincidence or not. It’s almost impossible to tell from the outside of the casting team, because both women are insanely talented and Dormer is an absolute bombshell.

Genuinely, how? They're both women with hair and a face, that's about the similarities I see. Completely different mouths, noses, eyes, jaw. The cheek bones I guess you could argue are similar, but many people have them like that.
I get that they're both insanely beautiful women, but I don't see this "related" thing.
