Real-Life Joffrey Smiles About 'Game of Thrones' Purple Wedding

Warning: Game of Thrones spoilers ahead. Looks like even Jack Gleeson -- the actor who played Joffrey Baratheon on Game of Thrones -- is happy his character died. The terrible boy-king kicked the bucket on Sunday's episode, poisoned by pie and/or wine, but fans (and most of the other characters) weren't the least bit concerned.
