Ever wonder what “Games of Thrones” and “Twins” actor Kristofer Hivju beard looks like without his beard?

Check out these photos of Norwegian actor Kristofer Hivju. In the first two photos below Hivju looks marvelously like a classic gentle Thor, and in the second photo, he appears as a classic wild man complete with a pair of mischievous twinkling blue eyes from any manic horror movie.
