In Game of Thrones, there are many characters who do incredibly terrible things. Probably at the top of the list is Ramsay. In the series, he is a man who commits many cruel acts purely out of joy. In an interview, the actor explains how he interacted with his co-star after filming.
Who is Ramsay Bolton? In season 3, the character Ramsay Snow, played by Iwan Rheon, is introduced. He is the bastard of Roose Bolton. Despite his initially sympathetic and nice demeanor, he quickly shows his true face, especially to Theon Greyjoy, played by Alfie Owen-Allen.
Instead of just
killing Theon, he tortures him in the most brutal ways. Not to extract information, but purely for pleasure. In season 4, it is shown that Ramsay has turned Theon into a compliant slave. In a recent interview, Rheon revealed how he interacted with Owen-Allen after filming.
