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.
Actor Kristofer Hivju says he is not sure whether his beloved character of Tormund Giantsbane will be alive when the eighth and final installment of Game of Thrones premiers.
The 38-year-old actor, who plays the wildling leader in the HBO series, says the show runners have not told him if his character would escape death after a wight Viserion brought down The Wall in the season seven finale.
“It doesn’t look good though, does it? I don’t know. I don’t know. If this is my way out… Well, it’s the huge cliffhanger of the season. So, in that way, that people might have to wait two years to know whether he’s dead or alive?” says Hivju.

The actor says if he was the creator, he would also finish the show where DB Weiss and David Benioff have.
“If I was (a showrunner) and I wanted to kill Tormund and Beric off, I wouldn’t end the season with the death. I would end it with the cliffhanger. So, I understand that.
“But I wish he could have whispered something into one of those crows’ ears before it happened. But, you know, when the Wall is down, they won’t need the Night’s Watch or the Free Folk at the Wall anymore. It’s a hell of an ending,” he said.
