George Paul Blagden (born 28 December 1989 in London, England) is a London-based film and stage actor.


He is best known for his role of the cynical revolutionary Grantaire in the award winning movie musical ''[[Film/LesMiserables2012 Les Misérables]]'' and for his role as the conflicted monk Athelstan in ''Series/{{Vikings}}''. His other endeavours include appearances in ''[[Film/ClashOfTheTitans2010 Wrath of the Titans]]'', ''Film/AfterTheDark'', and the French TV series ''Series/{{Versailles}}'' as King UsefulNotes/LouisXIV.

Known as unbelievably dorky but charming to his loyal fans, Blagden is friendly and easygoing off-camera, and enjoys interacting with his fans when he makes appearances.

!!His works provide examples of:

* DyeingForYourArt: Actually had to shave a circle in his head to play the monk Athelstan.
* ShipperOnDeck: If there's a ship for a character he plays, chances are he supports it (including [[Film/LesMiserables2012 Enjolras/Grantaire]] and [[Series/{{Vikings}} Athelstan/Ragnar/Lagertha]]).
