Kit Harington has been playing Jon Snow in the HBO hit series 'Game Of Thrones' for three seasons. Therefore, it's no wonder that a lot of people would recognize him everywhere he goes.
"I do get recognised a lot - more than most, actually," he told Glamour magazine in an interview. Being one of the show's main characters, he gets more screen time and more fans than some of his other co-stars.
"People are usually very excited, and I don't want to spoil the character for them. I try not to talk too much," he revealed.
The 27-year-old actor started out in theater, landing the lead role of Albert in 'War Horse' while still studying. He also earned two Olivier awards for the role.
Since then, he has become a household name as Jon Snow. He most recently starred alongside Emily Browning in 'Pompeii' and will play a young - beardless - soldier in the World War I film, 'Testament Of Youth' set for a 2015 release.
When asked about the high mortality rate of characters in 'Game Of Thrones,' the British star admits that it's hard to see people he's grown close with go after being killed in the series.
"It's hard to say goodbye to people all the time because we have such wonderful actors. It's part of what makes our show our show," Kit Harington admitted about the show's fast turnover of actors.
He added, "I think all that everyone wants is a good death."
Speaking of good deaths, his onscreen love interest, Rose Leslie, was killed off in the last season. However, the pair seems to still be continuing their romance without the cameras. They were recently rumored to be re-igniting their past relationship after being spotted arriving together at LAX together in July.
Although Leslie has denied being in a relationship with anybody, Kit Harington was more vague about the rumors.
"If I come out and say this is what I'm doing, this is who I'm with, then everyone goes, 'OK this is boring; next'," he told the fashion magazine marie claire. "It's much more fun to see what the press make up. It doesn't bother me."
