KIT Harington feared he would DIE after being “swung around by his testicle” while filming a dramatic dragon scene in Game of Thrones.

The 32-year-old revealed his pain – quite literally – as he shot the final scenes of the epic series.

Describing how he became trapped on a mechanical dragon, Kit told HBO’s Game Revealed: “Buck work is not easy. I think what sums up the buck for me was there was a bit where Jon almost falls off.

“The dragon swings around really violently, like this, and my right ball got trapped, and I didn’t have time to say “Stop!” And I was being swung around.

“In my head, I thought, ‘This is how it ends, on this buck, swinging me around by testicles, literally’.”

In the first episode of the final series, which aired on Sunday night, Jon was taught how to fly love interest Daenerys Targaryen’ dragons.

Terrified at first, the character – played by Emilia Clarke – joked it was “nice knowing you Jon Snow” before they both flew through the air.

They filmed the incredible moment in Iceland where there was only around six hours of light for the actors to perfect the scene.

Emotions ran high for the actors who spent months working to make the eighth season the best yet.

John admitted he “f***ing broke down” and hyperventilated when he wrapped the last episode.

Speaking to Esquire Magazine, he said: “Then they called ‘Wrap!’ and I just f***ing broke down.

“It was this onslaught of relief and grief about not being able to do this again. It wasn’t so much about Jon.

“It was about not being in this world, not getting to smell those smells, fight those fights, be with these people – the whole package.”
