Kit Harington has expressed how he’ll never be happy with 70 per cent of his scenes from Game Of Thrones, in a new revealing interview.
The 32-year-old actor has played Jon Snow since the HBO show’s inception in 2011, and has subsequently launched his career into the stratosphere – landing voice roles in the How To Train Your Dragon franchise and lead roles in BBC dramas like Gunpowder since.
In an interview with Variety, Harington explains how growing as an actor through Jon Snow, however, has its downsides – including the overwhelming attention you’re faced with.
It also seems he’s own worst critic too, saying how he’s now content with not entirely being happy with his performance in the show.
‘Looking back at the entirety of Thrones,’ Harington said. ‘There’ll be 70% of the scenes that I’ll just never be happy with. I’ve come to terms with that.
‘I know who this is now, and I’m at peace with who this is. I just got a feeling that it’s the most satisfied I will be with my work as Jon Snow.’
Before this realisation, Harington’s concern over his work in the show led him to dark places, adding: ‘That was a time when I started therapy, and started talking to people.
‘I had felt very unsafe and I wasn’t talking to anyone. I had to feel very grateful for what I have, but I felt incredibly concerned about whether I could even f***ing act.’
Game Of Thrones is barreling towards its final season next month, with a recent trailer now suitably dissected within an inch of its frame.
Game Of Thrones season eight kicks off 14 April 2019.
