Kit Harington has no qualms about one day showing his son his raunchier Game of Thrones scenes.
The actor, who shares his 9-month-old baby boy with Thrones costar and wife Rose Leslie, recently chatted with E! News’ Daily Pop about his whether he’ll eventually let his son watch the series — and how he plans on discussing the show with his little one.
Harington, 34, said he’ll most likely tell his son, “Look, I mean, you can just be thankful that it happened because otherwise you wouldn’t be here.”
“So that will be it,” he said, cracking a smile. “I’ll be like, ‘You don’t like watching it? Well, tough luck.”

As for now, Harington said he is staying focused on spending time with his baby boy.
“I’m going through something at the moment which is that I spend weeks prior to coming out here sort of, you know, feeding him, pampering him, looking after him,” the actor said. “And then I go to get on a flight, come here, and now I’m looked after and being pampered. So I’m living the dream right now!”
Leslie, 34, confirmed their pregnancy in September 2020 after she debuted her baby bump for U.K.’s Make Magazine and spoke about how the couple had been spending quality time together in their Tudor manor house in East Anglia amid the pandemic. PEOPLE then confirmed in February that Harington and his wife had welcomed their first baby.

Speaking with Access in August, the Modern Love actor gave rare insight into his life as a new dad, sharing what has surprised him most about fatherhood.
“I think the thing that’s surprised me most is, you know, they tell you but they don’t; everyone goes, ‘Look, it’s big. What you’re about to go through is big.’ And you have no way of knowing that until it happens,” he said. “Then what surprises you is you go, ‘Oh, this goes on forever!’ You don’t get a break from it. You’re just like … every day I wake up and look after this little human and now we’re part of a unit together.”
“You are now a unit, the three of you,” added Harington of his family. “That’s a whole new dynamic you need to find, and pretty much find every day as he grows and changes, and how does that change you? It’s a beautiful thing, it really is.”
