In a candid discussion, actor Kit Harington shared his mixed feelings about his time on "Game of Thrones," particularly during a recent Q&A at the Game of Thrones Convention. He recounted an awkward encounter with a tourist who mistakenly asked him to take a photo with them, only to clarify they wanted a picture with Big Ben instead. Harington described the moment as "excruciatingly embarrassing," revealing that he has been teased by friends ever since. Harington expressed a reluctance to revisit the series, stating, "I don’t think I’ll ever watch that show, and I don’t think I’ll watch ‘Game of Thrones’ again for a few years." His co-star, Emilia Clarke, echoed similar sentiments, admitting to Variety last year that she also struggles to engage with the show, likening it to attending a school reunion for a class she never belonged to. Reflecting on his character's fate, Harington noted the complexity of Jon Snow's ending, where he finds himself in a cell, facing execution. He described Jon's journey to the Wall as both a "great gift" and a "great curse," highlighting the emotional weight of the character's conclusion. Despite the nostalgia, Harington confirmed that the production of any future "Game of Thrones" projects is currently on hold. He mentioned that while there may be a possibility of returning to the franchise in the future, for now, the team has decided to pause their efforts.
