Theatre goes to wild lengths to stop Kit Harington’s ‘shocking’ sex scene from leaking

A theatre is going to major lengths in a bid to stop Kit Harington’s ‘shocking’ 10-minute nude scene from leaking online.

A theatre is putting stickers on audience members’ phones — to stop them filming Game of Thrones star Kit Harington in the buff.

Stewards also warn punters they face prosecution if they record the Jon Snow actor, 37, during a lengthy nude sex scene.

He has just begun a three-month run in Slave Play alongside Olivia Washington, 33 — daughter of acting legend Denzel — at the Noël Coward Theatre in London’s West End.

It tells the story of interracial couples forced to role play on a pretend slave plantation for ­relationship counselling.

An insider said: “The sex scene Kit’s in is quite shocking. There are lots of mirrors on stage so the audience can see his tackle from all angles.

“The scene lasts more than ten minutes and bosses seem very concerned about it being recorded and leaked online — hence the stickers.”

He said: “Management really want to protect his modesty so they’ve threatened legal action if anyone is caught filming. “Kit is a true pro, though, and doesn’t break character when he sheds his clothes.

“He seems to be very comfortable in his own skin.”
The Brit actor, who stripped down and oiled up for 2014 film Pompeii, said previously that he found it demeaning to be labelled a “hunk”.

He said: “It can sometimes feel like your art is being put to one side for your sex appeal. And I don’t like that.”

Meanwhile, Harington entered rehab back in 2019 for alcoholism. Earlier this year, he revealed he was diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) while there.

“I realised that my life was hinging on this. Luckily it was the right place at the right time. I managed to forge a new life from there,” the British actor divulged on a recent episode of the wellness podcast, Hidden 20%.

Harington admitted to host Ben Branson that he “entered rehab drunk, sobered up in there and went, ‘F**k this, not you guys in a circle. No, thank you.’”

The GOT star – the series still airs locally on BINGE – explained that he was in a different rehab clinic before he went to an American facility. The second place was where he was made aware of his ADHD. “And I left that pretty quick and said, ‘I’ll try to deal with this by myself,’ which didn’t work after about four years,” he sighed.
