Before and after Gwendoline Christie transformed into Brienne of Tarth for Game of Thrones

At 6’3″ Gwendoline does fit the description of towering over a lot of men, but after years of the model life she definitely wasn’t buff enough the play Brienne. The main issue with Brienne isn’t her ugliness anyway, it is with her perceived ugliness in the Westros world, which isn’t very accepting of tall, masculine women.
