'Game of Thrones' is coming soon, and Jon Snow admits he still knows nothing

The final season of Game of Thrones  is nearly upon us – and we're excited. We chat to British actor and producer Kit Harington about the award-winning show, his love of poetry and how he disguises himself in public.

1. He’s still not used to seeing his face everywhere

It’s still awkward for him to see his face on a poster at the metro. “I don’t think that will ever feel normal,” he says with a laugh. “It’s especially strange when you’re waiting there and you’ve nowhere else to look and you’re staring at yourself. That’s very odd.”

2. He does his own stunts – but he’s still a peace-loving man

“I like doing stunts, making sure it feels real. Most of my fights in Game of Thrones, that’s myself. Obviously there are some things they won’t allow you to do for insurance reasons, but, yeah, I like learning all that,” he says. That’s not to say he’ll be showing off those moves in real life.

“If someone tries to mug me, with a knife or a gun, I’m giving them everything,” he says. “‘Here, take it all, don’t hurt me!’ Maybe a part of me would think, ‘I’ve done this in a film, could I take this guy on?’ Thankfully, I haven’t had to test out that theory.”

3. He was already into make-believe as a kid
