Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has spoken openly about his troubles with alcohol and depression.
The actor that played Jon Snow admitted that he went through dark times with mental health, but is now recovering well having found the strength to go sober.
“Things that have happened to me since Thrones ended, and that were happening during Thrones, were of a pretty traumatic nature and they did include alcohol,” he said in an interview with the Times.
“You get to a place where you feel like you are a bad person, you feel like you are a shameful person. And you feel that there’s no way out, that’s just who you are. And getting sober is the process of going: ‘No, I can change.’
“I went through periods of real depression where I wanted to do all sorts of things,” he added.
“Maybe this might help someone, somewhere. But I definitely don’t want to be seen as a martyr or special. I’ve been through something, it’s my stuff. If it helps someone, that’s good.”
