KIT Harrington has opened up about the curse of being a Game of Thrones star.

Harrington, who plays Jon Snow in the show, told GQ, “Game Of Thrones is my life, it’s my day job, I love it”.

“But honestly, if there is a curse of Thrones, it’s a lifetime of having to talk about it.”

In the December issue of the magazine, the 27-year-old British actor also talks about being banned from cutting his hair by Game of Thrones producers.

“I’m more recognisable in public than much better-known actors,” he said.

“So many people watch, and I go around looking like my character.”

Earlier this year Harrington starred in his first major Hollywood movie, Pompeii. He’s set to appear in more films next year but admitted to GQ that he’s never thrilled to watch back his work on the big screen.

“I won’t name names and I won’t name films but I’ve sat through private screenings, nearly in tears. Hating it. Thinking: this is the end, everything’s over.”
