Kit Harington has teased how Game of Thrones will end, calling it “groundbreaking”.
While the rest of the world waits on tenterhooks to discover whether the Starks can face off the Night King, Harington may have let slip the ending to someone very close to him: Rose Leslie, his wife and former Game of Thrones co-star.
“I told my wife last year how it ended, and she wouldn’t talk to me for about three days,” the actor told Kiss FM. “And she’d asked!”
Leslie played the character Ygritte, the love interest of Harington’s character Jon Snow, for three seasons. The duo took their on-screen romance off-screen and married last July.
Discussing the ending, Harington said: “I can’t really answer whether I’m happy or not. I don’t think it’s about happy or sad, really. I’m satisfied with what they did, but I don’t know whether I’ll be really satisfied until I see it.
“It’s quite nice walking around, which will only happen for a few months before everyone’s seen it, knowing. I know and no one else does. I know how it wraps up. I think it’s gonna be groundbreaking.”
Other cast members – including Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Iain Glen (Ser Jorah Mormont) – have previously spoken about how the show will end.
