World of Warcraft helped Game of Thrones star kick his drug addiction
In his novel Beyond the Throne: Epic Journeys, Enduring Friendships, and Surprising Tales, Game of Thrones star Kristian Nairn attributed World of Warcraft to helping him detox and kick his drug addiction.
The Hodor actor revealed in his autobiography that he fell in love with a person who had a drug addiction, which, in turn, led to him abusing narcotics. But after a nearly fatal experience, the actor headed to a bungalow at the foot of the Mourne Mountains in Ireland, where he detoxed from drugs while playing World of Warcraft “from dawn till dusk.”
