Alfie Allen: The Little Brother Grows Up

Do you find gingers attractive? Well, Lily Allen's brother is one hot ginger and he now kicks ass  for the 'Drowned God' in the HBO fantasy blockbuster Game of Thrones where he plays the role of Theon Greyjoy.



Alfie Allen plays Theon Greyjoy to perfection with a great amount of risque scenes thrown in every few episodes. The guy has his pants down on every ship and dock, and awkwardly, even made a pass on his sister Yara Greyjoy.

Alfie Allen may not be that be typically goodlooking,but he is ruggedly sexy and there's that swagger about him that would remind you of a young Malcolm McDowell- same intense acting chops.

Brit Pop Goddess Lily Allen actually wrote a song about her brother in her debut studio album, 'Alright, Still' , with the eponymously titled song called Alfie. The lyrics pokes fun at Alfie Allen's laziness :

"My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed, I tell him he should get up cause it's nearly half-past three."

But Alfie is quick to say he's beyond that now and he's more productive as an actor, he's garnered more work after his theatre stint in Equus and the film 'Atonement'.



In the season 2 of the Game of Thrones, Theon Greyjoy is turning his back on the Starks to reinforce his place as the last remaining son of the Greyjoys, Theon is coldly welcome by his father, the Lord Reaper of Pyke, Balon GreyJoy.

On his first mission, he is given a single vessel to raid a fishing village called Stony Shore while his sister Yara is given 30 ships to wage an attack on a major fort called Deepwood Motte, a stronghold of House Glover. To add salt to Theon's wounds, Yara calls his ship the 'Sea Bitch.'

With so much at stake, it's a delight to watch Alfie Allen man up as Theon, to take on the character's journey into familial bonds, kinship and politics prevalent in the seven kingdoms of Westeros.
