Pic: Game of Thrones fans will enjoy this Joffrey lookalike

We’re big fans of the HBO Show here in JOE, which is why we got a good kick from this lookalike comparison in Buzzfeed. Little did we know that the actor is the head off Caligula, the Roman Emperor from way back when – or 37 AD to 41 AD to be more precise.

Cited in some quarters as insane, cruel and sexually perverted – Caligula, not Gleeson – we hope that the facial similarity is all they have in common.
