Game of Thrones star Rory McCann was spotted at a popular Glasgow restaurant.
The Scots actor, 54, is best known for his role as The Hound in the HBO series as well as Jurgen The Brutal in the Jumanji reboot. McCann posed alongside staff outside the Italian eatery Sarti in the snap posted on social media.
Alongside the picture, the eatery wrote: " Look who was in Sarti Wellington St over the weekend...Rory McCann! Great Scottish actor, most famous for his role as Sandor "The Hound" Clegane in Game of Thrones...and a really nice guy!"
Fans flocked to the comments of the post, as one wrote: "I would love to meet him someday." While another added: "BIG MAN! You look great! Good to see you!"
Someone else fumed: "Actually sat with him in the Harbour Bar - Troon a whole night listening to a jam session. Didn’t realise who it was till after he had left," as a fourth added: "love the hound."
The Scots star is best known for his role in Game Of Thrones but looks completely unrecognisable from when he started his career as a model. The Glaswegian actor was the face of Scott's Porage Oats when he started out, and looks worlds away from the well-kent face on screen fans know now.
Before staking a lead role in the fantasy series alongside Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington, The Hound favourite set pulses racing as he wore a vest and kilt for the iconic TV campaign.
