Holy shit there’s actually a legit answer to this? I thought that was Joffrey in a bonnet lmao
The comparison goes deeper. Nellie and Joffrey were basically the same character (minus the whole royal drama). Both evil, spoiled brats with rich parents who usually got away with whatever they did. The fact that decades apart and in completely different shows that their actors look strikingly alike is pretty interesting.
I’ll never forget the episode where Nellie had Pa’s head cutoff in the town square, then made Laura go look at it with her.
Or when Nellie shot the hooker with a crossbow because she was bored.
Yeah, that show got dark after the 3rd (or was it the 4th?) season.
3rd.
But jokes aside, Albert getting hooked on morphine and Pa taking him to a cabin in the woods to get clean was actually pretty accurate. And later when Pa found the guys who shot Albert and nearly beat them to death was far more violent than your average “family” show.
Not even in my top 10
It's almost like casting directors see those features and think "that's our brat".
Well, that's some near useless information that I truly enjoyed. Thanks!
The resemblance is even more pronounced when Joffrey has the same expression!
