Nairn's portrayal of Hodor on Game of Thrones was his first acting role; Nairn earned enough to buy his mother a house.[4] He is a progressive house/trance DJ, and used to be the resident DJ of Kremlin, a gay club in Belfast.[5] Since Game of Thrones began, Nairn has toured as a DJ with "Rave of Thrones" using musical themes and costumes from the television series.[6] [4] At the end of 2017, he performed the first part of the Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike concerts in Antwerp .[7] [8] He was the DJ during the BlizzCon 2016 anniversary party and BlizzCon 2018 closing festivities.[9] [10] In October 2018, Nairn appeared in a commercial for eToro that was launched on YouTube , featuring the Internet meme HODL .[11] [12]
Nairn is an accomplished guitarist. He got the opportunity to play backstage with Megadeth during the Hellfest Open Air Festival in Clisson , France, in June 2018.[13]
Since 2022, he has portrayed Wee John Feeney on the HBO series Our Flag Means Death .[14] [15]
Personal life [ edit ]
In March 2014, Nairn publicly discussed his gay identity in an interview with a Game of Thrones fan site.[16] He stated: "When you talk about 'the gay community,' you are talking about MY community. [...] I've never hidden my sexuality from anyone, my whole life in fact, and I've been waiting for someone to ask about it in an interview."[17] He went on to say that his sexuality is "a very small part of who I am on the whole, but nonetheless, in this day and age, it's important to stand up and be counted."[18] In 2015 Nairn clarified in an interview with Chicago Go Pride that it was really his "second coming out. I'd done it when I was 14 and didn't think I'd have to do it again. Especially since every single person in my life knew."[19] In April 2023, Nairn revealed to the BBC that he had witnessed the shooting of policeman Darren Bradshaw at the Parliament Bar in Belfast in May 1997.[20]
