Kristian Nairn, best known for his role as Hodor in HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” revealed that he was present at the 1997 gay club shooting in Belfast.
Nairn spoke about the shooting for the first time on BBC's Blood on the Dance Floor Podcast.
The victim, 24-year-old police officer Darren Bradshaw, was shot and killed at the club, which was the city’s only LGBT venue at the time. To this day, the case remains unsolved.
Nairn said he and his friends had just arrived at the club when the shooting happened.
“It happened so fast. It was just like stunned silence, just like a bomb had gone off,” he said.
