Kit Harington's Favorite 'Game of Thrones' Scene Is Definitely Not What You'd Expect


Kit Harington has revealed what his favorite Game of Thrones scene with wife Rose Leslie is—and we absolutely did not see this answer coming. The pair, who played on-screen couple Jon Snow and Ygritte, had plenty of memorable moments together, but the actor’s favorite scene together was somewhat surprising, to say the least.

“I liked her death. I know, it sounds bizarre. I thought she nailed that. And it’s the first time in Thrones that slow motion was used, and I think it’s a beautiful, cradling moment as this battle is raging in the background. It was one of those incredible shots,” he told People.

In the scene, which takes places during the show’s Season 4 penultimate episode, titled “The Watchers on the Wall,” Leslie’s character Ygritte and the wildlings attack Castle Black in an epic battle. But when she encounters Jon—a.k.a. the love of her life—she hesitates to shoot him and is shot in the back by a little boy named Olly, whose father she killed in an earlier episode.

Jon rushes to hold Ygritte during her last moments, in which she asks him if he remembers the cave they first made love. She says she wishes they could have stayed in that cave forever, and when Jon insists they’ll return one day, she iconically replies, “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”

It was a sad episode for fans who had hoped Jon and Ygritte would be together despite their differences. However, the fact that they fell in love on set and later got married in real life was enough to get us through the TV heartbreak.

As for whether we’ll ever see the two together on screen again, Harington said it’s very unlikely. “The saddest thing is that we may never be cast again together because we’re too synonymous with Thrones,” he explained. “It’s gonna be hard to get away from that. I’d love to work with Rose, but we’re married, and we played these lovers, so are we ever going to get to do that?”

New episodes of the final season of Game of Thrones air on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.

Watch Kit Harington Gag After Kissing Emilia Clarke on the ‘Game of Thrones’ Set


One of the most talked-about moments from the Game of Thrones season premiere happened when Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) shared a gushy waterfall kiss. Onscreen it looked like a romantic break from the Seven Kingdom’s drama, but now an outtake video shows that the whole thing was way, way sillier when it was being shot. Like, Harrington-pretend-gagging-after-kissing-Clarke sillier.

The scene happens in a lengthy behind-the-scenes look at the season-eight premiere that HBO posted on YouTube. In it, the show’s production team explains that they wanted to do something epic after Jon and Dany enjoyed a magical dragon ride together. So they decided to digitally add a striking waterfall to the scenery, as one does. Because of that, the actors had to kiss in front of a green screen—which is when Harington decided to joke around by gagging and groaning after making out with Clarke. It starts around the 13:38 mark:

Luckily, she didn’t seem too offended—and both of them have talked about their close-knit friendship, even though they admit it’s weird to play lovers (or, you know, aunt and nephew). “Emilia and I had been best friends over a seven-year period and by the time we had to kiss it seemed really odd,” Harington told the Daily Mirror.

Jokes aside, Harington seemed genuinely excited to get to show Clarke some of Iceland for the scene, where he’s had to do most of his work on location as a member of the Night’s Watch protecting the Wall. “I just love I could go there with Emilia,” he says in the video. “I got to show this thing that’s been such a large part of the Thrones world for me. I got to show her Iceland.”

Clarke, meanwhile, was less enthused. “This fire lady dragon mama is not used to the cold,” she jokes.

The Sweet Way Kit Harington Made Rose Leslie Feel Comfortable During Their 'Game of Thrones' Sex Scenes


Rose Leslie and Kit Harington have Game of Thrones to thank not only for the most high-profile roles of their careers but also for their relationship. The couple, who married in Scotland last summer, actually met while filming the hit HBO show.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Leslie’s Ygritte, a wildling who Harington’s Jon Snow met after he joined the Night’s Watch at The Wall—but the actress’s mark on the show lingers on via one of its most famous lines: “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”

Well that—and their characters’ steamy sex scene in a cave. Now, in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, she reveals how her now-husband made filming those scenes more comfortable for her.

Leslie recalls that only necessary personnel were on set that day and that she “felt very safe,” which Harington played a huge role in.

“[Harington] was, as ever, a gentleman, and he made sure that I was comfortable where he was going to be positioned, and he would always then turn around when they called cut, and the lovely wardrobe dailies would come in with a dressing gown, and then I would be covered. And only then would notes be spoken to us from the director,” she said. “But he was very considerate and made sure as much as possible that I didn’t feel awkward standing in front of people with your tits out. So it’s never going to be an enjoyable day, it’s always going to be an awkward one, but he and the rest of the crew were incredibly considerate, and it’s a conversation that we most certainly had in terms of where the boundaries lay.”

And as for that iconic line? Leslie loves being associated with it—but she and Harington don’t go around saying it to each other at home. “I feel incredibly privileged to have a catchphrase whereby, especially for the last few years, it’s been around me,” she says. “How lucky for any actor to walk away from a television show and have a catchphrase, but I’m sure many people find it the most irritating thing in the world, but there are still some people who find it fairly endearing. I think between he and I, no, we never say it to one another for obvious reasons—and not just ’cause it’s corny.”

Speaking of knowing nothing, we still have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen in the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones—even the cast, Leslie included, doesn’t. But luckily there’s not much longer to wait: It’ll premiere Sunday (April 14) at 9 P.M. ET on HBO.

The 'Game of Thrones' Cast Crashed Kit Harington's 'SNL' Monologue to Demand Answers About Season 8


Everyone wants to know how the upcoming final season of Game of Thrones is going to pan out, especially when it comes to who’s going to wind up sitting on the Iron Throne itself. With the show’s premiere scheduled exactly a week away on Sunday, April 14, you can bet that Saturday Night Live is getting in on the hype. Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, hosted the show last night (April 6)—and as part of his opening monologue, he found himself having to field some questions about the show from the audience. As it turns out, he knew a few of his interrogators quite well: Some of his present—and former—cast members were there to demand answers, too.

Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the show, popped up to ask Harington to give her “a sense of how it ends.” Clarke’s character is one of the relatively few that hasn’t yet been killed off, and Harington reminded her that she did, in fact, know what was going on in the show’s last season.

“Well, yeah, but I forgot,” she quipped. “It’s been so damn long since the last season, plus a lot of my scenes are talking to a dragon, which is just a tennis ball on a green pole. I have no idea what’s actually happening.”

She also joked about the fact that their characters had hooked up during the show’s sixth season. “Did you know they filmed that?” she asked.

John Bradley, a.k.a. Samwell Tarly, also had a question for Harington. He told Harington he’d only been able to glimpse two pages of the season eight script, and all Tarly said was, “Arghhh.” Harington asked him what had come before that line in the script. “Dragon opens mouth,” Bradley replied.

Naturally, the Night King was also in the audience (played on SNL by Pete Davidson), and it seemed like he was feeling a little down about it all. He asked Harington if people actually hate him (“because it really feels like people hate me”) and if they could still be friends when the show was over. “We were never friends,” Harington responded.

Rose Leslie, whose character played Snow’s love interest until she was killed off (and who, in real life, is now married to Harington), also stood up to ask a question. After Harington told her that he was still sworn to secrecy about all things regarding the show’s final episodes, Leslie told him that she didn’t care because she “wasn’t a nerd.” Instead, she had a more pressing concern.

“My question is, what are we going to do for money now?” she said. “We didn’t save anything, and you kept telling me, ‘Oh I’m the King of the North, we can order UberEats every night.”

Sophie Turner Addresses Kit Harington Making More Money Than Her for 'Game of Thrones'


Sophie Turner and Kit Harington have been co-stars for, it’s safe to say, a while now: Game of Thrones‘ eighth and final season is premiering on April 14, and although we have so many questions about what’s to come on the hit show, there’s a 0% chance we’re going to be getting any satisfactory answers until each episode unfolds. (However, you can bet that this hasn’t stopped fans from coming up with plenty of theories about what’s going to happen.) There’s one thing that can be cleared up, though, and that’s the matter of why Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, and Harington, who plays Jon Snow, aren’t getting paid the same for the work they do on the show.

In an industry where there are headline-making gender pay gaps—remember when Michelle Williams reportedly got paid less than $1,000 while Mark Wahlberg got $1.5 million for a movie reshoot?—discrepancies like this are beginning to receive extra scrutiny. Turner was recently asked by
Harper’s Bazaar UK about her views on the difference between her and Harington’s paychecks for the show. Asking for equal pay on set, she told the magazine, is “a little tricky. Kit got more money than me, but he had a bigger storyline. And for the last series, he had something crazy like 70 night shoots, and I didn’t have that many. I was like, ‘You know what… you keep that money.'”

As The Hollywood Reporter wrote in 2014 about negotiations for the show’s seventh season, the cast—among the highest-paid on cable TV—is divided into tiers to determine compensation: Tier A includes the main roles, played by actors including Harington, Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen). Tier B includes Turner and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark); and there’s another tier beyond that’s filled by actors with smaller roles.

But Turner’s still been able to wield her influence to advance equality behind the scenes: As she told Harper’s Bazaar UK, she has an inclusion rider in her contract, which stipulates that the male/female ratio of a project’s workforce is an even 50-50. And when there’s so much work to be done in the industry, every step forward counts.

Emilia Clarke Just Called Out Kit Harrington for Complaining About His *Game of Thrones* Shoots


Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, and the rest of the Game of Thrones cast are currently doing the press rounds for season eight, which premieres April 14 on HBO. Granted, the show doesn’t necessarily need promo at this point—it’s a full-blown phenomenon—but we’ll happily watch the new interviews and dissect them accordingly.

Take Clarke‘s latest one, which happened on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Tuesday night. The Mother of Dragons hilariously teased her co-star Kit Harrington (Jon Snow) for complaining that his GoT shoots are intense. Colbert co-signed this, saying the last time Harrington was on his show, he complained about the tough GoT shoots in Iceland, where he wore about “40 pounds of fur.”

“He’s got the worst, I know,” Clarke said jokingly. “He does really like to tell everyone that. ‘It’s really heavy, it’s really heavy.'”

The actress continued, “That’s cold weather in Iceland, but there’s short filming hours because there’s only, like, four hours of daylight. Whereas, I’m in a quarry in, you know, Malta, in 100-degree heat—passing out every single season because I have two sets of hair on my head. But yeah, so Kit’s always complaining that he’s got it worst, but he’s definitely got it better. He’s drinking by 2 P.M. because there’s only, like, two hours of daylight.”

Watch her explain this for yourself, below:

Emilia Clarke also revealed she told her mother about how Game of Thrones ends. “I’ve got to be honest, I did, I did, not just my dog, I told my—I wasn’t supposed…I told my mom, but the good thing about telling my mom these things is she’s a vault because she’s just done forgotten it—I told her,” Clarke said. “I was like, ‘I’m not going to tell you twice, you missed your chance!'”

Luckily, we’ll all know who reigns on the Iron Throne soon enough.
