Fans compare King Viserys’ final appearance to Lord of The Ring’s Gollum

King Viserys Targaryen’s death in House of The Dragon episode 8 was a long time coming. His health steadily declined over the time skips in each episode. He looks old beyond his years while he’s supposed to be in his late thirties. Paddy Considine, who plays the character in the Game of Thrones prequel, thinks that his character had leprosy. His condition worsened to the point many fans began comparing him with Lord of The Ring’s Gollum.

Here’s what the fans said about King Viserys’ worsening condition in House of The Dragon:
