Kit Harington shares personal photos with Esquire Magazine in their May Issue
āThis is just me fucking around. I just got bored one day and put it on. Quite often Danyās wigs were lying around. If that picture says anything, itās about how much of your time is spent in hair and makeup. ā
āThis is from this season. I think heās asleep there. That was during these long nights filming battles. There was just something so weird about chilling in the greenroomāa tent, basicallyāwith the Night King, whoās making jokes, and the White Walkers around him, who are cracking up. To you itās normal, but to anyone else walking into that room, it would be bizarre. Itās these bits Iāll miss mostāthe moments of āWhat the fuck is my job?āā
āThis was taken in Spain, and I thought Emilia looked like, as the old saying goes, a million bucks. To me, in this photo, she screams fifties, sixties, Old Hollywood chic. And thatās why I took this snap, ācause she sort of has a timeless quality to her.ā
āKristofer has one of the most amazing faces ever. I think he looks like an Arctic explorer in this. Heās just wonderfully eccentric and became a very, very good friend.ā
āI took this selfie during the Battle of the Bastards [season 6ās biggest episode]. Just to give you an idea, we had six stages of dirt and blood, and Iām on about stage three at that point. And it was pretty uncomfortable. All of that stuff on my face is sticky blood, which is sugar based and attracts wasps and flies. I think I took that selfie just to go, āWhat the fuck am I in? Iām halfway through this and this is how messy I am.ā
We took this this season. I canāt remember what we were there for, whether it was a photo shoot or a costume thing, but it struck all of us that it was so rare that this many people were in one place at one time. So we were like, āRight. We need a family photo.ā This is obviously just a snippet of people who were onĀ Thrones.Ā Iād love to get a massive group of everyone who was onĀ ThronesĀ in one big photo. This is just what we ended up with, kind of the core group of us, minus for some reason Lena [Headey, who plays Cersei Lannister]. I donāt know why sheās not there. But itās a really happy photo. I remember diving into the middle of it, trying to be center. The photo cuts a bit through all the shiny little faces we have to pull on press tours, and the people we are when weāre all dolled up for a premiere or a talk show or what have you. When we get on set together, a group like this, weāre fucking goofy and we play around. And I think you can tell from this photo how much everyone loves each other.ā
āAlfie, Richard, and I went to the Wheel of Belfast. It was that time when every city had to have a huge Ferris wheel. We were almost like kids ourselves, going on this big wheel and obviously having this souvenir photo taken. Itās just remarkable looking at it now and thinking we had no idea what was going to happen with the show. We were just young actors happy to be workingāliterally a world-at-your-feet sort of thing but no expectations from it.ā
