VIDEO: Let 'Game of Thrones' Alum Iwan Rheon Read to You for Kraken Rum's New YouTube Series
Apparently, Ramsay Bolton likes a good story time like the rest of us.
As reported by Nerdist, the company Kraken Rum, which sells a Caribbean black spiced rum distributed in the United States, has started a new series on YouTube. Their name comes from the fictional giant squid-like sea monster, the kraken. So it's only appropriate that the weekly series, dubbed Krakenory, features celebrities reading excerpts from nautical stories.
Actor Iwan Rheon, who played the sadistic Ramsay in Game of Thrones, is one of the most recent celebs to appear in the series. Rheon read a selection from French novelist Jules Vernes’ classic novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. You can check out the video below. Sit back, relax, and let Rheon's voice carry you away to a land of maritime adventure.
Rheon's episode is the third installment in the YouTube series. Krakenory has also featured Carl Barât and Mark Strong from the English rock band The Libertines. Like Rheon, Barât read from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, while Strong recited a collection of poetry, including Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “The Kraken.”
According to Nerdist, the nautical YouTube show drew inspiration from a children’s TV series called Jackanory, in which actors sat in an armchair to read children’s novels or folk tales to an audience. I can't wait to see what they read next week!
