A sad farewell to Darren Kent, the amazing actor we came to know and love from 'Game of Thrones'. He passed away unexpectedly at the age of 36, and it's left us all feeling deeply saddened.
You might remember Darren Kent as the talented actor who played a goat herder in the popular show 'Game of Thrones'. Sadly, he's no longer with us. He left us last week at the age of 36, after facing health challenges that he bravely battled. This news came as a surprise to many, especially after some worrying pictures were shared on social media, showing him looking very thin alongside his friends and fellow 'GoT' actors, like the wonderful Emilia Clarke.
His talent agency, Carey Dodd Associates, shared this sad news on Facebook, saying, "We have to share the sad news that our friend Darren Kent peacefully passed away on Friday (11.08.23). His parents and closest friend were by his side. Our thoughts and love are with his family during this tough time. Darren was not only a talented actor, director, and writer, he was one of the kindest people I've ever met. It was an honor to be part of his journey. Rest in peace, my friend."
We don't know exactly why he passed away, but we do know the impact he had. Darren wasn't just a talented actor in 'Game of Thrones'; he also appeared alongside Kristen Stewart in 'Snow White and the Huntsman'. He even played Scott the Builder in two episodes of the TV show 'EastEnders'.
People on social media have been sharing lots of love and memories about Darren. Actor David Streames shared a heartfelt message on Facebook with a picture of him and a thin Darren dressed as Superman. He said, "I’ve been putting off writing this because I can't believe I have to say goodbye to my wonderful friend Darren Kent. He was an inspiration to me and many others. Sending love to his family. I'm going to miss you, Darren. As you always said in your messages and voicemails, I love you, buddy. You truly were a Superman."
Darren's talents were celebrated too. He won a special award for Best Actor at the Van D’Or Awards for his role in 'Sunnyboy'.
