Kristian Nairn, who plays Hodor in hit HBO series 'Game of Thrones' has revealed that he is gay.

The British star, who first shared the news with a 'Game of Thrones' fan blog 'Winter Is Coming', said that when people talk about the gay community, they talk about his community, Us Magazine reported.

He said that there is not a day that he doesn't get a few messages about his sexuality, but 99 percent or more are super sweet and there is nothing smutty about them.

Nairn added that he has never hidden his sexuality from anyone his whole life and has been waiting for someone to ask about it in an interview, as it is not something that one just blurts out.
