Everybody in the cast seems compelled to mention as often as possible that Jack Gleason is the sweetest, nicest guy you'll ever meet. Which is absolutely fine, because Joffrey really is the worst, and he's wonderful in the role, and very much deserves to be seen as a separate person from that horrible, horrible little shite.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The actor also has been experiencing a lot of harassment and has contemplated leaving acting. So I think people are protective of him.

I read in an interview with him somewhere that one of his inspirations for Joffrey is Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator. I can see some similarities in the physicality of the characters.

Because books.
I always worried about Tom Felton after all those years as Draco, but Draco looks like a fuzzy kitten next to Joffrey.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Real leeches don't hurt, except emotionally -- their mouths secrete an anesthetic so you don't notice them. And the wound they leave keeps bleeding for a while, because there's also anticoagulants.
