Kit Harington says his favourite Game of Thrones scene was when wife Rose Leslie DIED
KIT Harington has revealed his favourite Game Of Thrones scene was with wife Rose Leslie – when she died.
The couple met and fell in love starring alongside each other as Jon Snow and Ygritte on the hit HBO show and their characters enjoy an intense romance before being forced to fight each other.
Kit, 32, recalled the scene was “beautiful” and “incredible” due to its location and the drama unfolding around them when The Night’s Watch battled Wildlings during the attack on Castle Black.
Ygritte was mortally wounded by an arrow, and before she died she whispered her signature line: “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”
Kit told People it was his favourite moment, and mused: “I liked her death. I know, it sounds bizarre.
“I think it’s a beautiful, cradling moment as this battle is raging in the background.
“It was one of those incredible shots.”
Rose previously agreed it was an epic storyline to be a part of.
She told the New York Times two years ago: “It was very emotional. The love that she felt for Snow overrode any frustration she felt. It was very painful. Ygritte was happy to be dying in the arms of the man she loved. It was a very lovely storyline to be a part of.”
The couple went public with their romance in 2016 and wed last year at Rose’s childhood home, a Scottish castle.
Their careers have forced them to watch each other get intimate with other actors and Kit said he closed his eyes when Rose snogged his friend Harry Treadaway on screen in the movie Honeymoon.
He added to People: “I went to see a movie Rose did called Honeymoon where she spends half the move snogging with my friend Harry Treadaway. About five minutes in I had to close my eyes because I couldn’t stand it.
“I was sitting between Rose and Harry and it was awful.”
Kit is back on the box in the final season of Game of Thrones and recently admitted the incredibly heavy costume was a huge pain for him.
But matters were made worse as he had to wear high heels on set because he was so ‘short’.
The actor said: “So my costume weighed 33 pounds, and you’d carry all of that on your shoulders all day.

“So 33 pounds for 10 hours. And then you’ve got the sword, and that weighs two kilograms, which is another X number of pounds. [It’s four pounds and change.]”
Kit continued: “Plus, I was in f***ing high heels, because I’m short and they need me to look taller than other people.
“So I’m carrying 50 pounds in high heels.”
