Top 10 Cutest Kit Harington Moments
Kit Harrington is so cute it was hard to pick 10. In this clip we've included the time he pranked his finance, reacting to Jimmy Kimmel's daughter's crush on him, getting out of a parking ticket, his GOT “audition”, judging Jon Snow impersonators, trying and failing to be good at dinner parties and his proposal to Rose.
#10: His Reaction to Charles Dance Talking About Sex on the Show
In 2014, several members of the “Games of Thrones” cast appeared together for an interview on “The Jonathan Ross Show.” Kit Harrington sat alongside his co-stars Rose Leslie and Charles Dance, and they got into a discussion about sex on the show. Dance pointed out that at least in the first few episodes of the show, a certain position seemed to be favored above the rest. Kit’s reaction is adorable because he seems totally shocked by the explicit detail that Dance is getting into. Even though he’s had his fair share of sex scenes, it seems he isn’t above being a little bashful about them.
#9: Reacting to Jimmy Kimmel's Daughter's Crush on Him
10 Killers Reacting to Court Decisions Caught on Camera
In a 2017 interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Kimmel and Harington joke about Jon Snow’s miraculous recovery before getting into the really serious stuff: Jimmy’s daughter’s big crush. Kit was featured on the cover of Esquire prior to the taping, and Jimmy said he put the magazine in his bathroom for some light reading. When his daughter came across it, her reaction was completely heart melting. Kit clearly wasn’t expecting the revelation that he had toddler fans, but he took it in stride, appearing to be just the right amount of embarrassed.
#8: Getting Out of a Parking Ticket
Top 10 Cutest Shane Dawson & Ryland Adams Moments
After his character was killed off on “Game of Thrones,” fans were rabid to find out whether he would somehow be coming back to life in the following season. Very few people knew the truth, but Kit was one of them and had to keep the secret for many months before the storyline was revealed to the viewers. He shared a story with Jimmy Fallon, though, about how he had told his big secret to one member of the public - a police officer who pulled him over for speeding. The story is almost too good to be true, and the officer’s response is classic.
#7: Trying (& Failing) to Be Good at Dinner Parties
Top 10 Most Unbelievable Moments in Baseball
In 2015, Seth Meyers put together a sketch for his show where he brought along Kit Harington to a dinner party. The thing is, though, is that he came in character as Jon Snow. As you can imagine, the Bastard of Winterfell isn’t exactly the best party guest and can’t help but spread his doom and gloom instead of keeping up with the conversation. Even when Seth instructs him on how to perfect his small talk game, he can’t quite get a grasp on it. Kit’s ability to make fun of himself here is perfectly on display.
#6: His Game of Thrones "Audition"
Top 10 Defining Pop Culture Moments of 2017
In 2017, Jimmy Kimmel treated his audience to some “never before seen footage” of Kit Harington’s audition for HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” In the skit, Kit goes through impersonations of some of Westeros’ best known characters, including Cersei, Daenerys, Arya, Hodor, and a white walker. While Jon may take himself a little too seriously on the show, it’s clear that Kit doesn’t in real life. Not to mention, his impressions of his co-stars are strikingly accurate. We could have watched him go through the entire cast!
#5: Judging Jon Snow Impersonators
As Jon Snow, Kit Harington has quite a distinctive way of speaking, and it turns out his speech style is pretty popular to mimic. In 2015 when he was a guest on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Jimmy had Kit judge three Jon Snow impersonators who each read something mundane in Jon’s signature serious voice. Kit clearly has just as much fun with it as the audience does, and seems genuinely impressed by the skills of those competing. Some of them manage to be even more Jon Snow than Kit himself!
#4: When He Scared his Fiancée
Top 10 Craziest Fine 'I’ll Do It Myself' Moments In Sports
Kit Harington may not seem like much of a practical joker, but it turns out he comes from a long tradition of April Fools pranksters. On April 1st, 2017, Kit decided to terrify his partner and former co-star, Rose Leslie, with a prank that left her in tears. When she went to get a glass of water from the fridge in the morning, Kit had placed a severed head prop on the shelf for her to see. Her reaction is genuine and priceless, and Kit says she made it very clear that if he pulled something like that again, their relationship would be over.
#3: Shenanigans with Emilia Clarke
Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke have been co-stars since “Game of Thrones” first aired in 2011, but they didn’t actually have any scenes together until the show’s seventh season. Ever since they started acting alongside each other, though, the two have been seemingly inseparable - both onscreen and off. It seems that the two friends make time for plenty of fun on set, posting adorable selfies and goofing around during their downtime. We don’t know what’s in store next for the wolf and the dragon, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that they’ll continue their adorable off-screen friendship.
#2: His Proposal to Rose
10 Worst Marriage Proposal Rejections Caught on Camera
Jon Snow and Ygritte may not have been destined to live happily ever after in the show, but the two actors who portray them seem to have found lasting love. Kit Harington and Rose Leslie have been dating since meeting on-set, and in 2017 made a real commitment when they announced their engagement - just a couple of months after Nicole Kidman bullied Kit about it on James Cordon’s show. When talking to Jonathan Ross, Kit described how he had planned an elaborate proposal, but couldn’t wait and ended up popping the question a day early. Can we all say, “awwww.”
#1: Game of Thrones the Musical
Top 10 Game of Thrones Locations You Can Visit
Seeing any “Game of Thrones” cast members out of character is always a treat. So getting the chance to put them all together to create a musical about the show was an opportunity that no one could pass up. Chris Martin of Coldplay teamed up with some of our favorite figures from Westeros to create this hilarious video for charity. One of the highlights is Kit Harington’s rendition of “Wild Thing” where he changes the lyrics to “Wildling” and sings for partner Rose Leslie. Of course, Leslie gets a chance to throw in a “You know nothing, Chris Martin” before all is said and done.
