Sam Coleman, an Actor on HBO’s Game of Thrones, Admitted to a Hospital with Covid-19

Sam Coleman, who played Young Hodor on HBO's Game of Thrones, was hospitalized after being exposed to Covid-19

Sam Coleman has been hospitalized after contracting the Covid-19 virus. His health is stable now and he is undergoing the required treatment for Covid-19.

Coleman, a Labour Rother District Councillor for Sidley in East Sussex and the council’s youngest member, required oxygen and was treated with a CPAP machine.

On November 20, Coleman was admitted to Conquest Hospital in Hastings after initially testing positive for coronavirus on November 14.

Coleman announced his test results, adding, “So today has been a journey…” and revealing that he had received the AstraZeneca vaccine.

I’ve gone through all of the motions this morning (temperature fluctuations, weakness, loss of taste, headaches, this pesky cough), but apart from that I haven’t experienced any difficulties breathing. ‘I hope it sticks,’ he concluded.

His health condition deteriorated with time and it led him to get admitted to a hospital due to a lung infection.

He informed his followers the following day, ‘…about that excellent result…”, several days after revealing the positive test. “I’m at the hospital, where they’re giving me oxygen.”

On November 26, the actor was discharged from the hospital and returned home after being connected to the oxygen machine for a few days and wearing an oxygen mask.

Despite the fact that he spent time in a hospital, actor Sam Coleman (who played Hodor in the HBO series Game of Thrones) stated that his stay was frightening but commended NHS staff who looked after him.

Game of Thrones got his first break back in 2016. After that, he showed his presence in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel, Leatherface, in which he played mentally ill bud.

He revealed to the Bexhill Observer in 2017 that he was a big fan of the show and that he had never imagined he would be cast in it, but that it was one of the greatest experiences of his life.

‘I was also astonished when Jack Bender, the director, asked me to make my character’s seizure as realistic as feasible, allowing me to educate the public on seizures.

‘I used my understanding of epilepsy and other disorders to try and come up with something recognizable even though the time-traveling, fantastic nature.’
