‘Gonna kill me’: Internet loses it over star’s racy pic

A steamy picture of Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has made its way online and sent social media into meltdown.

A leaked picture of Kit Harington from behind the scenes of his explicit stage play has sent social media into a frenzy.

Slave Play stars Game of Thrones star Harington opposite Denzel Washington’s daughter Olivia Washington and explores themes of sex, race, power and interracial relationships.

The creator of the play Jeremy O. Harris, took to Instagram to share some behind the scenes pictures of the cast and crew, including one of Harington back stage half-dressed.

Harris also picked out the snap individually to share on his Stories, where he revealed the actor – who has previously insisted he didn’t want to be seen as a “hunk” – would not be happy about the picture going on social media.

“He’s going to kill me for this,” wrote the playwright. “So share it so he will forgive me.”

The cheeky picture show’s a ripped Harington showing off his six-pack while looking directly at the camera.

Meanwhile, it comes after it was revealed that before the play, stewards warn punters they face prosecution if they record the Jon Snow actor, 37, during a lengthy nude sex scene.

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.

“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,” the insider said.

“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 he found it demeaning to be labelled a “hunk”.

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