Just recently, Kit Harington (Jon Snow) gave us some insight into his home life when he revealed that his wife, fellow Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie (Ygritte) wouldn’t talk to him for three days when he told her how “last year how it ended.”
“And she’d asked!” Harington insisted.
But is that the whole truth? Entertainment Weekly, ever the news hounds, reached out to Rose Leslie to get her side of the story, and it ends up we’ve been coming at this all wrong. “I genuinely don’t know the ending [of the show],” she said. “He told me the ending of last season and I remember getting a bit uppity about that.” Ah, so the spoiler was for season 7, not 8.
He happened to tell me – and this is a spoiler for anybody who hasn’t seen the last season – he happened to tell me that one of the dragons fall into the ice lake, and then we see the dragon being dragged out of the water and the dragon breathes fire — or ice, I can’t quite remember which one it is, I think it’s fire — onto The Wall, and then, of course, that’s when all the [Army of the Dead] can then cross over. So he told me about the dragon and I got rather livid with him, because I said, ‘You weren’t supposed to tell me everything! And that’s a huge piece of information!’ And he’s like, ‘Well, you asked!’ And I was like, ‘I know.’”
But did she ask? She clarifies that, too:
To be fair I was probably rather ridiculous in the way I phrased it. I was like, ‘Tell me some things, but don’t tell me other things.’ But I actually don’t know the ending to [the show] because, believe it or not, it’s such a monumental phenomenal show, and I want to be like the rest of the world and watch it in real time and get that build up and anticipation. I want to finally come to the final episode and truly – and I honestly mean this – truly not know which way it goes.
See, that’s the problem with just trying to get a little spoiled. You run the risk of hearing something that piques your interest and getting drawn in further, or you see something you didn’t want to see, or there’s a misunderstanding and you get everything dumped on you at once. It’s hard to dip just a toe into the choppy waters of Spoiler Lake. You either jump in or stay on the shore.
And what about Harington’s claim that she wouldn’t talk to him from three days? “That was an exaggeration,” Leslie clarified. “I love that he said three days. Look at him trying to get a soundbite. That’s hilarious!”
The final season of Game of Thrones airs April 14. A reality show about Harington and Leslie’s home life has yet to be announced.
