Game of Thrones season 8 news: Kit Harington films ‘gruelling’ finale amid battle promise


GAME OF THRONES fans still have a while to go before season eight arrives on screen and as filming rumbles on, it seems it may be taking its toll on one of the show’s main stars.

Game of Thrones hero Jon Snow (played by Kit Harington) is sure to play a big role in the upcoming episodes.

However, as filming continues on the HBO hit, it seems the schedule is incredibly demanding on the 31-year-old actor.

As he spoke to The Sydney Morning Herald about his BBC hit, Gunpowder, which will soon air in Australia, it seemed all eyes were on what he had to say about Game of Thrones.

Naturally, Kit remained tight-lipped on the matter, choosing only to discuss the physical act of filming.

The newspaper noted he was “audibly wearing” during the interview as he had just finished a long day on Game of Thrones.



Kit admitted: “It was a gruelling day, I’m not going to lie.”

And previous to this, showrunner Dan Weiss promised it would be tiring for Kit.

He has teased in the past the actor would have to be in his best shape possible for season eight.

“Gonna be swinging that sword a lot,” the producer giggled.

With Kit finding himself tired by the new series, does that suggest Jon will survive until the very end?
