This is a SPOILER-FREE ZONE guys, come on in.

Feeling a bit disheartened at the prospect of not coming into work for TWO WHOLE DAYS as we have to deal with yet another weekend? Yeah, right. Well, take a look at this amazing photo someone's found of Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage anyway. Because it's made our entire WEEK.

The grainy black and white snap shows the Hollywood actor back in the 80s at his high school graduation with what should go down in history as the best mullet of all time. And we've got to say… it kind of suits him.

The picture was taken from the 1987 Delbarton School yearbook, and Peter's chosen quote underneath should read: "Words are tools of imagery in motion."

It's a quote from playwright Sam Shepard and is perfectly pretentious for any self-respecting would-be theatre luvvie fresh out of school.

Speaking about his school career to Playboy, Peter – who plays Tyrion in the smash HBO series – explained that he showed dramatic promise early on.

"High school is a funny thing. On one hand you're so fragile. But I thought I was William Burroughs by the age of 13, so I had this massive ego as well," he said.

"Everything in high school feels like it's life or death. I went to a pretty athletic high school, and I didn't have many friends. I remember once talking to my best friend, and we came up with the idea that we should hang ourselves off the bell tower. "That'll show them." We totally had no inclination to commit real suicide at all; we just liked the idea of the whole town responding to this tragedy, how the school would mourn. Oh god, we were so dramatic."

See what Peter and the rest of the GoT cast look like IRL compared with their characters in the gallery below.
