The very severity: how have the stars of the Vikings series changed from season 1 to season 6

It's no secret that movies and TV shows often influence actors. Many of them seem to really live the life of their hero and change with him. Let's find out how the actors of the Vikings series have changed in 7 years.

The star of the series "Vikings" Travis Fimmel starred in such films as "Tarzan", "The Beast" and "Baytown outlaw", but became popular thanks to the film adaptation of the story about the brave Viking Ragnar Lodbrok. This project made Travis a real star.

In 2012, even before the release of season 1, with long hair and a cap, Travis looked more like a sexy surfer than a brave Viking. Later, for the role, the actor needed to grow a beard, which he still wears.

Actress with Ukrainian roots Catherine Winnick starred in many films produced by Paramount Pictures, but she made the main breakthrough in the image of Lagertha in the historical multi-part film "Vikings".

In 2013, she seemed like a sweet and gentle blonde with green eyes. But after the release of the first season of "Vikings", fans looked at her from a different angle. The actress began to look stronger and more confident. Catherine seemed to become more serious. Even in the Instagram photo, the girl rarely smiles now.

Alexander Ludwig, at the age of 27, is known for many films, including "The Hunger Games" and "Odnoklassniki-2". The series "Vikings" supplemented his collection and showed us the actor who played Ragnar's son, on the other hand.

In 2013, and indeed in season 1, the blue-eyed blond Alexander looked like the perfect heartthrob guy from a romantic comedy. However, for the role, the actor needed to become stronger and more courageous. A beard like a Travis Fimmel, of course, could not be grown, but it was quite possible to pump up a steel press.

Popularity to Jessalyn Gilsig came in 2000, when she began acting in the TV series "Boston School". Then the actress showed herself in the project "Body Parts", where she starred for 5 years, as well as in the TV series "Chorus".

In the drama "Vikings", Jessalyn got the role of the wife of the warrior Jarl Haraldson and the mistress of the Viking Rollo — a woman named Siggy. Like Catherine Winnick, Jessalyn has always been in the image of an eternally smiling beauty with curls. The series revealed the actress in a new way, forcing her to skip through all the events of the drama, which, of course, affected Gilsing's appearance and character, who has now become much more confident and mature.

One of the most eccentric and even frightening images of the drama is the image of Floki, in which Gustaf Skarsgard appeared before the audience. Before the historical drama, the actor played a boy from a boarding school in the film "Evil" and a musician in the film "Children of the Suburbs". But it was the image of Floki that was able to reveal the versatility of the actor's talent.In 2013, Gustaf was 33 years old. Then he was not bald yet, did not wear a beard and took b/w photos. Now the love for black-and-white pictures has not faded, but Gustav himself has changed his image.

Charming Briton Clive Standen fell in love with the public thanks to his bright roles in rating television series. He played in "Doctors" and the movie "Raising the Dead". Now Standen is known to the public precisely from the TV series "Vikings", where he got the role of Rolland, the brother of the main character.

Seven years ago, the actor, like many on this list, did not wear a beard. However, seriousness, even if it was assumed, was always inherent in him. Now Standen wears a short beard, which suits him very well.
