Game of Thrones couple never want to work together again

‘GAME of Thrones’ star Kit Harrington reveals why he will never work alongside his fiance Rose Leslie again.

KIT Harington might never work alongside his fiance Rose Leslie again.

The 30-year-old actor starred alongside his future wife in Game of Thrones but admits it would never happen again because he just “wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face” around her on set.

He said, “I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face.

“Honestly, I was watching Sliding Doors with her the other day, and there’s a bit at the end where John Hannah is pouring his heart out to Gwyneth Paltrow and she’s lying dead.

“I turned to Rose and I said, ‘I wouldn’t be able to do that with you, because you would piss yourself.’ She’s a brilliant actor”.

“Actually I don’t want to work with her because she would just show me up again. That’s why.”

Kit recently moved in with Rose, 30, and absolutely loves sharing a house with his partner.

He added, “Me and Rose, my girlfriend, said we need a few months together in London for some downtime.

“We’ve just moved in together. I’ve never lived with a partner before. It’s amazing.”

However, Kit and Rose do have one rule — they will not both take photographs with fans when they are together as they want to make sure their relationship isn’t “defined” by their characters.

He told The Times newspaper, “The tough bit is when you are on holiday and people want photos with both of you. We don’t do that, because there is a line where you go, ‘Our relationship is not one of two puppets who are like walking advertisements.’

“So one of us will have a photo taken and the other will say no.

“That’s important — that your relationship isn’t defined by what you were as two characters in the past.”
