‘Game of Thrones’ star Kit Harington says the fourth episode of the eighth and final season of the HBO series is one of his personal favourites.
The 32-year-old actor, who plays the fan favourite Jon Snow in the epic fantasy show, said the latest chapter is very Shakespearean as it has certain “twisted and uncomfortable” elements in it.
“One of my favourite episodes is four because the characters have seemingly got what they needed. The world is safe now. They’re celebrating and saying goodbye to lost friends.
“But as an audience you’re going, ‘This is only episode four, something’s going to happen.’ And that’s the cool thing because I think the characters are aware of this as well. There’s something twisted and uncomfortable about it. It’s so Shakespearean,” Harington told Entertainment Weekly.
Earlier, Emilia Clarke had said that people need to prepare for episode five as it would perhaps be bigger than the Battle of Winterfell last week.
“(The next episodes) are going to be mental. Episode five is bigger. Episode five is ahhhh. I mean four and five and six, they’re all insane, but…” Clarke told Jimmy Kimmel on his chat show. [Source]
We can tell you what Kit Harington smells like: Tobacco, with a spicy blend of cardamom, ginger, cedarwood, and citrus spice accord. That’s because he’s the face of Dolce & Gabbana’s fragrance, The One for Men. And Harington can tell you what Jon Snow, his beloved character on Game of Thrones smells like—but no, he won’t share anything else about his character’s fate before the show comes to an end. He will, however, tell us about his failed attempt as a perfumer and fragrance philosophy, though, so read on.
What have you learned about fragrance and grooming from working with Dolce & Gabbana? I’ve certainly gotten a better sense of style from doing it. That’s one of the great things about a campaign like this—if it’s a brand you like, it encourages you to try dressing in ways you might haven’t before. But my grooming regime is as simple as I can make it.
What is that? One thing I might have been forced to do in these campaigns is take a bit better care of myself. (laughs)
Does that mean washing your face and putting on moisturizer? Yeah, face wash is something I didn’t discover until now.
What do you like about The One? Where I live, it’s all wood paneled, wood beams—it’s an old house. My favorite thing about the scent is it has a wooden, masculine feel to it, but sophisticated, and it’s how I imagine I would like to come across.
What are your favorite scents? Wood fires. I like the smell of an old car, when you get a vintage car, that old musky petrol type of smell. The English countryside has a smell unlike anywhere else, a kind of slightly damp, fresh smell and that’s kind of me. Tobacco which I love, because I used to be a smoker and now I’m not. The smell of cigarettes I just love.
Do certain scents remind you of your childhood? Yeah mum’s roses. Now I’m lucky enough that I’ve got a rose garden as well and it’s one of the things I love. I remember one of my earliest memories to do with perfumes was trying to make my mum a perfume out of her roses. While she was away I picked all her roses and crushed them up with some water, and I look back now and I remember her face and I was thinking ‘why doesn’t she look as pleased as she should be?’ I destroyed her rose bush.
Did she wear it? I think she pretended. She was a good mum and she probably cursed me behind my back.

For months Kit Harington has been keeping a secret that everybody wants to know. It’s been an exhausting balancing act, like treading water with a smile on your face.
Of course he isn’t going to tell you how Game of Thrones ends, whether Jon Snow lives or dies, who ends up on the Iron Throne, or even if his beloved direwolf Ghost survives till the end. Nevertheless it hangs in the air every time he talks about ending the biggest television show of all time.
Now, with only three episodes remaining, he is starting to look forward to the freedom that will come with it all being over.
“I’m just going to be really relieved when everyone’s seen it,” he tells me on the phone from New York, where he is currently living while his wife (and former Game of Thrones co-star) Rose Leslie films drama The Good Fight. “It’s going to feel like closure and I think that’s going to be incredibly satisfying, if a bit sad.”
For Harington the series has been a bittersweet experience. The show gave him unimaginable success as a young actor, introduced him to the love of his life and surrounded him with a group of co-stars who we have watched grow into a close (if somewhat murderous) family. But then it also resulted in a poor spell of mental health where he questioned whether he could really act and felt any semblance of privacy was being wrestled from him.
The obsessive coverage was at its most intense after he died in the finale of season five and for months was dogged with questions about whether he’d return. But even this period proved bittersweet, as it lead to his proudest scene: “When Jon is asked what was beyond death and he says ‘Nothing, there was nothing at all’” he says. “It’s rare to have had someone die and come back, and I think that was the most profound moment for Jon.”
Of course, his proudest moment might still be to come. But he’s too acrobatic at spoiler-dodging to even hint there’s a big scene for his character on the horizon.
