Best known for playing Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, Kit Harington has revealed that the series finale did not bring with it the greatness many might have hoped for. On the contrary, the actor has decided to open up about a dark period in his life, marked by deep depression and addictions, especially to alcohol. Although he had already spoken briefly about this period, Harington has now shared more intimate details, admitting that he contemplated ending his life.
“The horrible things” is how the actor describes what he went through after the end of Game of Thrones. In an interview with The Times, Harington confessed that he reached a point where he needed to be under the influence of alcohol in order not to feel repulsed by himself, a feeling he attributes, in part, to the brutality of the show’s controversial finale. In addition, the overwhelming fame he achieved around the world was a factor he never quite felt comfortable with.
The most shocking part of his story is that in his darkest moments he had suicidal thoughts. It was then that he decided to seek help at a rehabilitation clinic in the United States. His addiction problems came as a surprise to both his fans and his inner circle, as Harington has always been very private about his personal life. With these statements, the actor wants to be a source of support for those who may be going through a similar situation.
Today, Kit Harington is back on his feet and ready for new professional challenges, such as his role in Modern Love. The actor says he is deeply happy with the family he has started with Rose Leslie, his partner in Game of Thrones, whom he married in Wales. Shortly afterwards, the couple welcomed their first child, whose name they have kept private. Now, fatherhood fills their days with meaning, and Harington says he feels lucky every day because of it.
