Kristian Nairn (född den 25 november 1975) är en irländsk skådespelare och DJ från Belfast, Nordirl

and. Han är mest känd för sin roll som Hodor i TV-serien Game of Thrones, som är baserad på George R.R Martin's serie fantasyromaner.

Kristian har inte döljt sin sexualitet utan han har bara aldrig haft ett tillfälle att berätta att han var gay. I tisdags hade han en intervju med WinterIsComing.net när han kom ut. 

Intervjuaren frågade inte direkt om hans sexualitet utan Kristian tog chansen och berättade. 

Interviewer: I have some friends in the gay community, “bears” as they’re wont to call themselves, who hold you on a pretty high pedestal. One good friend of mine (I’ve known since we were in the 5th grade together) says your bear following is “extensive.” Is this something you’re aware of?

Kristian: Well, in all honesty, when you talk about “the gay community,” you are talking about MY community, haha. I AM aware of it yeah, and I think it’s really lovely. There’s not a day that I don’t get a few messages, but 99% or more are super sweet and nothing smutty at all! Again, it’s a privilege, and I really mean that. I’ve never hidden my sexuality from anyone, my whole life in fact, and I’ve been waiting for someone to ask about it in an interview, cos it’s not something you just blurt out. I’ve tried to lead the questions a few times, to no avail!

Interviewer: Seeing as how some people might react negatively to it, did most of the cast and crew have an understanding of it? Or was it just never really brought up?

Kristian: I had an upbringing to respect other people’s privacy, and their right to be and choose what they want, and I expect, no, demand no less for myself. It’s a very small part of who I am on the whole, but nonetheless, in this day and age, it’s important to stand up and be counted. I have and always will stand my ground. So, yeah, people have been great, on the show, but I don’t see why it would be an issue.
