Interestingly, the Reddit cofounder is also a big fan of the HBO TV series, Game of Thrones. The 39-year-old, once claimed that the show taught him to become a better family man.

The HBO fantasy series, Game of Thrones, was among the top television shows in the terms of viewership. The show ran from 2011 to 2019, garnering immense popularity across the globe. The series focuses on different royal families and their political struggle to gain power. The series emphasizes a lot on the family bond and that was something that appealed most to Alexis Ohanian.

Speaking about the impact of the show on his family life, the 39-year-old said, “I better understand Game of Thrones now because I understand wanting to do anything for my house. I didn’t get that until I had a wife and a baby. When that switch flipped, I had to choose my priorities in life differently.”
