Kit Harington: Before getting sober, I couldn’t be proud
“Game Of Thrones” star Kit Harington says he is "lucky" to have kicked his addiction issues before becoming a father because he "hated himself" when he was drinking.
Game of Thrones star Kit Harington, who essays the role of Jon Snow in the popular fantasy series, revealed that the end of the show made him cry.
In a recent interview with the Entertainment Weekly, the actor confessed that he twice became emotional when he realised that his show will end after its eighth and final season.
The 31-year-old actor said he initially refused to read the script for the final season which was sent to all the show’s stars in advance.

“I walked in saying, ‘Don’t tell me, I don’t want to know’,” Harington said.
“What’s the point of reading it to myself in my own head when I can listen to people do it and find out with my friends?” he added.
Harington cited another instance when he became emotional and said it was during the table read for the last episode.
“The second time was the very end. Every season, you read at the end of the last script ‘End of Season one,’ or ‘End of Season two,’ This read ‘End of ‘Game of Thrones’.’ And you realise, ‘okay, it’s really happening’,” the actor said.
Recently, the magazine Entertainment Weekly shared the first look of the HBO series, featuring Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke.
