Games of Thrones King Joffrey aka Jack Gleeson marries girlfriend in 'simple' Irish wedding, see pics

The popular HBO series "Game of Thrones" actor Jack Gleeson, who played the annoying young King Joffrey, wed his long-term fiancee last weekend in a "very simple" ceremony at a small church in his native Ireland, according to the priest who officiated the wedding.

"Very simple, prayerful and dignified marriage ceremony for Film Celebrity [Jack] Gleeson and Roisin [O'Mahony]," Father Patsy Lynch wrote on Twitter on Monday along with three photos showing the dressed-down couple wearing a button-down shirt with slacks and a pink and blue summer dress.

According to Fox News, the Sacred Heart Church in The Glen, Ballinskelligs, County Kerry, served as the venue for the ceremony.

The marriage was a "pre-wedding ceremony," according to Lynch, and the "real ceremony will take place over in England." "The family have been holidaying down here in Ballinskelligs, The Glen, for many years and they have so many happy memories here," he said.

Lynch told the newspaper that "there was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere right from the very beginning" and the couple went for a meal after the ceremony.

"I think it was the sheer simplicity that just touched everyone, and everyone was happy and content, he said. "Everyone down here knows Jack and that shows they're just part of the whole community. When I met him, it was as if we knew each other all our lives, he's that kind of person. There's nothing artificial."

With Twitter users who left comments on his pictures of the ceremony, Lynch also made jokes. When a lady expressed her affection for "The father laughed, "Thanks, your dress," alluding to O'Mahony. I enjoy how I look. Self-care is essential."

The ceremony for the couple was considerably less dramatic than that of his on-screen persona King Joffrey, who in the fourth season of the show was poisoned during his own wedding.

After "Game of Thrones," Gleeson took a break from acting, but he later made a comeback in the BBC series "Out of Her Mind" and the Irish thriller "In the Land of Saints and Sinners" with Liam Neeson.

Jack started acting at the age of eight and made appearances as a young actor in blockbusters like Batman Begins and Reign of Fire (2002). (2005). When he was 18 years old, he played the lead in the critically acclaimed movie All Good Children. He made his debut in the wildly popular fantasy series Game of Thrones the following year as Joffrey Baratheon.

‘Maybe Happy Ending’ wins six Tony Awards as Korean musical makes Broadway history

South Korea just scored a historic milestone at the Tony Awards, with the musical Maybe Happy Ending bagging six trophies, including Best Musical and Best Lead Actor. The show, centred on two ageing helper robots living on the edge of Seoul, left the awards night buzzing. Korean entertainment, long a force in film, television, and music, is now making serious inroads into Western theatre too.


From Seoul to Broadway: A story born in two languages

Maybe Happy Ending wasn’t always destined for the bright lights of Broadway. It first opened in a small Seoul theatre in 2016, a result of a local arts foundation’s programme. Co-created by South Korean lyricist Hue Park and American composer Will Aronson, the story explores loneliness, connection, and memory through the eyes of obsolete robots. Written in both Korean and English, the piece has been reimagined several times since its debut.

Darren Criss, known to many as a Glee star, played Oliver and took home his first Tony for the role. His co-star Helen J Shen portrayed Claire, the other robot. Together, they brought the emotional weight to a futuristic love story that’s more human than it sounds.


While the robots explore feelings in a near-future Seoul, the show managed to preserve distinct Korean elements like Jeju Island and the traditional plant pot hwabun on the Broadway stage, something fans celebrated online.


A cultural shift, decades in the making

With this win, South Korea joins the rare club of nations with major victories across all four major American entertainment awards, including the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and now Tonys. From Parasite to Squid Game, and now Maybe Happy Ending, Korean creators are no longer breaking into the global scene, they’re leading it.

The success also validates years of quiet work in South Korea’s theatre scene. Original musicals like Marie Curie and The Great Gatsby have made appearances in the West End and on Broadway, but Maybe Happy Ending marks the first time a Korean musical has truly swept the Tonys.


As one critic noted, more than awards, it’s about shifting global perspectives. Korean musicals are no longer export hopefuls. They’re now centre stage.
