Children always suffer from unrealized plans of their parents, especially when it comes to the offspring of kings. Tomman Baratheon is the son of Robert Baratheon, at least that's what citizens and people think. That's just the boy’s mother hides too many secrets that can harm the entire royal family.
A little prince
In the first season of the series, Tomman Baratheon is a little prince who spends most of his time with his uncle Tyrion. He has fun, and he does not think at all that in the near future his childhood will end.
In the meantime, the guy is sure that he will not be king soon. After all, the father is alive, and there are enough heirs who want to take the Iron Throne. The hostilities force Tomman’s mother to take an extreme step, she does not want to surrender to her enemies and is ready to poison the little prince with poison. But she is disturbed by her own father, who triumphantly drives into the throne room on a horse.
One hero and two actors
Not all viewers noticed that Tommen Baratheon was played by two actors. In the first and second seasons of the Game of Thrones series, the little prince was played by Callum Warry. This is the first role of a young actor. In the third season there is no this hero at all, the audience only hears about him. And in the fourth and fifth seasons, Tomman is played by Dean-Charles Chapman, who successfully starred in the third season of the series. There he was Martin Lannister.
These replacements in the cast were noticed only by a few spectators. Such changes were needed in order to naturally show how Tommen Baratheon grows. The little prince is 8 years old at the beginning of the series, and in the fourth season he is already 15 years old, and he is even ready to get married.
Tomman's wife
In the fourth season of the series, we are talking about the fact that the guy couple to conclude an alliance with other kingdoms. To gain allies, he must marry a young pretty lady Margery, who is also interested in this marriage. Skillfully seduces the girl of a young man, Tommen Baratheon is ready to do everything for his bride. Actor Dean-Charles Chapman, who played the prince in seasons 4 and 5, admits that he was very worried when he had to shoot scenes with kisses.
In the fifth season, young people were declared husband and wife. Tommen Baratheon is afraid to disobey his mother, and his wife tells the king that he is just a pawn in this war. The guy does not want to believe in these words, but realizes his powerlessness when his legal wife and her brother are arrested. Queen Cersei consoles her youngest son, she is happy that her daughter-in-law was in prison. Tomman's mother felt threatened by this young girl, so she took no measures to protect her during the charges. The king wants to free his wife, but he faces a new test - Cersei is also under arrest. Now the young king must independently fight enemies and make decisions.
The truth that ruins
That's just one thing Tomman Baratheon does not guess - he is not a real king. His father is not Robert Baratheon, but his mother’s brother. Such connections are vicious and punishable, which is why the beautiful and smart mother is in prison. What about a guy who is so young and young? He realizes that it’s really a pawn, only whose hands in the new season will show him the right path?
The creators of the series thought out every moment. Even the children in this exciting project play like real professionals. It's always hard to work with small actors. The main disadvantage is the appearance, which changes naturally, or the age, which is not always true. That is why it was necessary to attract two actors for one role. It is possible that there will be other guys who will portray King Tomman.
