And it was the priest who revealed the exciting news on Twitter, calling their nuptials “very simple, prayerful and dignified”.Father Patsy Lynch posted photos from the private couple’s ceremony showing off the small village church in County Kerry where they exchanged vows.The newlyweds kept things casual with Gleeson wearing a grey/green shirt and brown pants, and his bride opting for a colourful patterned sundress.Gleeson, 30, who played King Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones, took a lengthy hiatus from acting after the series ended.But fans were still eager to wish the couple congratulations and comment on the stark contrast between Gleeson and the villain he played on the show.“He looks really sound. Totally different to the character he played in GoT. Gorgeous couple,” one user wrote, to which Father Lynch replied, calling the actor “a very down to earth, simple and relaxed person”.When another user commented on the “lovely wedding” and photos, the priest responded: “It was an amazing celebration. Everyone was so relaxed. I will treasure so many memories of this special day.”Gleeson starred in the Emmy-winning series from 2011 to 2014, for which he will go down in history as one of the best villains in TV folklore, before his character was shockingly killed off in season four.But following on from his starring role in the global hit, Gleeson decided to take a lengthy break from acting.In 2019, he said he was living by himself in a London flat and was consciously trying not to feel like a “celebrity”.Stream Game of Thrones and prequel House of the Dragon on Binge.

That’s what makes me feel really uncomfortable. I try to eschew that as much as possible.“When I started doing Game of Thrones perhaps the reality was made too real for me. The lifestyle that comes with being an actor in a successful TV show isn’t something I gravitate towards.“I’m happy to sacrifice a big pay cheque for my happiness if that’s not too corny a thing to say. It’s probably more naive than mature to say that, maybe, but that’s how I feel.”After a six-year break, he made his return to television on the 2020 BBC show Out Of Her Mind and is set to star in The Land Of Saints And Sinners, alongside Liam Neeson, next year.This story originally appeared on New York Post and was reproduced with permission
