Photos: Here's what the Night King from "Game Of Thrones", Vladimir Furdik looks like in real life

Last night's episode of 'Game of Thrones' still remains the most epic one yet as it finally saw the end and death of 'The Night King' who has tormented the seven kingdoms since Season 6 of the show.   While the Night King never spoke a word on the show, his brutal character spoke for him.    Behind all the makeup and CGI eyes, the man who plays the Night King is Vladimir Furdik; a stuntman, actor, stuntdouble, sword master and fight choreographer.     The 48-year old actor hails from Slovakia. Since, 1990 FurdĂ­k has worked in Hollywood as an actor and stuntman, appearing in films such as Tristan and Isolde, ''Eragon, War Horse, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Skyfall as a stuntman. He also appeared as a Andrzej in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and as one of the four ship guardians in Prometheus.  

Confirmed By Club: Manchester United Chase Signing Of World Class Herrera Replacement

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has confirmed Manchester United are one of the clubs chasing the transfer of Tanguy Ndombele this summer. The 22-year-old has had a superb season in Ligue 1, showing himself to be one of the most exciting young players in Europe to attract interest from a host of top sides. With  AS  reporting that United midfielder Ander Herrera has agreed terms on a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain once his contract expires this summer, it makes sense that the Red Devils could be tracking a player like Ndombele to replace him. Still, they’d face plenty of competition for a quality player like Ndombele, with Aulas also naming Manchester City, Juventus and PSG as among his admirers in an interview to Tuttosport, as translated by  Sport Witness . “It’s true [Juventus are interested]. But there’s also PSG, Manchester United and Manchester City,” Aulas said. “Honestly, I’d like to see Ndombele at Juventus with Pjanic, a player we helped developed at Lyon to

Computer Village Shut Down Over Installation Of Woman As Market Leader

Traders in the Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos, on Tuesday shut down activities to protest the planned installation of female and male market leaders “Iyaoloja” and “Babaloja” respectively in the hub. The traders told Newsmen covering the protest that the computer village was an international market that did not need such imposition of Iyaoloja. Mr Wasiu Agbaje, an Information Communication Technology (ICT) Engineer, said that hub was not like the regular markets where such should be imposed. Agbaje said that installing such would undermine the hub because there was no relationship between technology and Iyaoloja. “What does the Iyaoloja and Babaloja have to offer, what value are they going to add to the hub? And what technological innovations are they bringing? ‘“The computer village is not like any other street market where pepper and other things are sold. “It is an international technological hub and it should be treated as such,” he said.

Ahead of Tothenham Clash, De Ligt States His First Choice Team Despite Agent's Opinion

Sensational Ajax centre defender Matthijs De Ligt’s move to Barcelona has sparked a lot of speculations ever since it began. The Ajax defender has had an outstanding form this season and has since helped his club achieve a lot this season. Ajax is currently in the first position in the table standings with 80 points after playing 32 matches, same points as PSV Eindhoven but Ajax is leading with goal difference. De Ligt hit Europe by storm by his good display in Champions League games. In fact, he played a big role in eliminating Juventus to make Ajax qualify for the semi-finals. With that, his move to Barcelona became more real and since then he has developed the desire to go to Nou Camp albeit being linked with many other clubs. His recent comment, however, made it clear where he thinks of going to; View image on Twitter BarçaTimes@BarcaTimes [MD] | De Ligt's first choice is clear He wants to play with Leo Messi and his friend De Jong at Barca Howe

Check out 5 Nollywood Celebrities Who Started Out As Child Stars

The best thing that can ever happen to any celebrity is having the opportunity to recognise their talent early and actually make big use of it. Over the years we have had a number of these celebrities who started off as child stars and we were all amazed at such talents at an early age. These celebrities didn’t slow down, they continued to excel and have become the grown-up celebrities we all know today. We will be bringing to you guys five celebrities who started off as child stars and have remained relevant in the entertainment industry. 1.

10 WWE Superstars Who Never Tapped Out

Winners never quit. WWE.com Tapping out is seen as a massive personal failing in the kayfabe world of WWE, even though - in real life - admitting that you have a normal human pain threshold is clearly preferable to getting your arm snapped like a twig because you were too proud to quit. Despite this, most of the company's top stars have, at one point or another, been made to submit. Triple H tapped at WrestleMania XX. Brock Lesnar gave up at SummerSlam 2003. Even John Cena, the walking embodiment of wrestling's never say die spirit, was forced to break the habit of lifetime during his early days by Kurt Angle. While each of the aforementioned are guilty of bringing shame upon their families, a handful of others have managed to avoid this fate, going the entirety of their WWE career (at least, so far) without once giving up like a little baby. Note: the case of The Undertaker is a slightly dubious one, since most of the times he has "tapped out" there have

Twins With Different Fathers: How Possible???

Is it possible to have twins with different fathers? Seems like there are more chances to win a lottery than to have twins from different men. Is it really possible? If yes, how does this phenomenon happen? Image: pexels.com If you are still confused, we can say that again: having two children, twins, from different men is really possible. That happens very rarely, but as it exists, we can not leave it without attention. Twins with different fathers: How is it possible? Image: unsplash.com Such a phenomenon has a scientific name: superfecundation. There are two  types of superfecundation : heteropaternal superfecundation and homopaternal superfecundation. If you know at least some basic Latin, you will be able to guess that heteropaternal superfecundation is the type of fertilization of two different ova by two different men and homopaternal superfecundation refers to fertilization of two different ova by one man. Even though the heteropaternal type of superfecundation is

Femi Kuti and Kalu Ikeagwu When two guys are just handsome in a particular way, they tend to look-alike.
