What better way to celebrate the imminent return to our TV screens of Game of Thrones than by feasting your eyes on King Joffrey Baratheon in the nip?

Actor and Trinity College, Dublin student Jack Gleeson - everybody's least-favourite Lannister, which is quite an achievement, given the competition - has stripped off for a 2014 charity calendar.

This image from the Trinity Scholars and Fellows charity calendar was spotted on the TCD Alumni Facebook page.

We don't know who any of the others in the pic are, but according to Facebook comments the lad with the visible bum is called 'Furdog', which confirms everything we feared about Trinity students.

It's on sale for a fiver here and all proceeds go to the Trinity Access Programmes (TAP) and the Community After Schools Project in north inner city Dublin (because a Lanniser always pays his debts, natch…).

Cork native Gleeson studies Philosophy and Theology in Trinity and by all accounts is a lovely chap, and nothing like the despicable git that he plays so well in GoT.

Valar Morghulis.
