Kit Harington got Rose Leslie upset for days after he spoiled ‘Game of Thrones’ finale

“Game of Thrones” is known for its airtight secrecy about the plot and other possible spoilers.

But in the case of Kit Harington, who plays the brooding Jon Snow in the series, he was willing to divulge some details to wife Rose Leslie, whom he met through the show.

However, his favor did not pan out in the best way. “I told my wife last year how it ended, and she wouldn’t talk to me for about three days. And she’d asked!” he said on UK radio station KISS FM Friday via Entertainment Weekly on Feb. 1.

Maybe he should not have been so shocked about Leslie’s reaction—the actor admitted to crying more than once during a live table read, he revealed to Entertainment Weekly last November.

He entered the production office in Belfast with the rest of the cast without having read anything ahead of time. He left with some grief about the end, not just of the story but of the finality of the entire production.

“I can’t really answer whether I’m happy or not,” he said on the radio show. “I don’t think it’s about happy or sad, really. I’m satisfied with what they did, but I don’t know whether I’ll be really satisfied until I see it.”

He also described the final season as “groundbreaking,” which is not much of a surprise when it comes to “Game of Thrones.”

Meanwhile, his other cast mates have also expressed being floored by the final season’s script. Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) told Entertainment Weekly last November, “It was completely overwhelming. Afterwards I felt numb and I had to take a walk for hours.”

Like Harington, she could not keep her mouth shut about spoilers: She admitted to W Magazine last Jan. 17 that she already told a few friends about the ending.

Season 8 of “Game of Thrones” will premiere on April 14.  Niña V. Guno /ra
