Most little kids with a great head of hair would hate to shave their heads. But most kids don’t get to play a beloved character from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire on HBO like young Dexter Sol Ansell. He happily bid farewell to his hair after getting cast as Egg on HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. (In fact, he almost cut it all off for his audition to show how much he wanted the part!) Now that he’s a star, though, would Sol Ansell be just as eager to do it again for season two of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? This joyful video of him losing his locks more than answers that question.
Maekar’s youngest son, Prince Aegon Targaryen, shared a delightful pre-season video of himself getting ready for “series 2” of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Having to be totally bald might sound like the unfortunate cost of playing such an important character in Westeros’ history. Not for Sol Ansell. Being “back to bald” made him feel “back to normal.”
Have we said how much we love this kid? Oh, not in at least a month? Bad job by us. Real bad. Let’s fix that right now: we love this kid. Perfect Egg.
As for when we’ll get to see Sol Ansell return as Dunk’s diminutive squire, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms‘ second season is currently in production. (HBO had to stop/delay filming in April after a natural disaster.) We won’t see the legendary duo back, in an adaptation of the second Dunk & Egg novella “The Sworn Sword,” until at least 2027.
By then Dexter Sol Ansell’s terrific hair will likely be back to its full glory. And then we can look forward to yet another video of him gleefully getting it all shaved off.
