Hollywood actor <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/web-series/article/kit-harington-was-left-furious-by-petition-to-remake-game-of-thrones-season-8-23611684" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Kit Harington</a> has shared he missed out on watching the &nbsp;final season of his fan-favourite series &lsquo;Game of Thrones&rsquo;. The actor said that he went to rehab when the final season of Game of Thrones was airing, reports &lsquo;Female First UK&rsquo;.
The 39-year-old actor played Jon Snow in the HBO fantasy show and explained how he made the "good decision" to get treated for anxiety and alcohol addiction issues instead of doing press for the programme's conclusion in 2019.
Speaking in conversation with <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/kit-harington-opens-up-about-embarrassing-kissing-scene-with-sophie-turner-23603803" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Game of Thrones</a> co-star Peter Dinklage for &lsquo;Variety&rsquo;, Kit said, "I decided to go to rehab as Episode 1 (of the eighth and final season) was airing, and I was there for six weeks. I needed to get sober&rdquo;.
He further mentioned, &ldquo;I needed to get my head on straight. I was like, 'Wait a minute, there's loads of press that needs to be done. You need to be front and centre&rsquo;. But it was a good decision to go, 'Actually, I'm checking out. I can't do this.' So I didn't see the last season&rsquo;&rdquo;.
As per &lsquo;Female First UK&rsquo;, Kit Harington then took a year away from work, although the coronavirus pandemic scuppered his return to the spotlight.
The actor said, "Right as I'm going to re-engage with work, COVID hit. So it was this very strange period after the show ended. Massive society sledgehammers or personal sledgehammers. But it allowed me to figure out, not to be too w****, who I was. And whether I really wanted to do this anymore, talking bluntly. I spent a lot of Game of Thrones working from a place of pain. It was the character as well, I think&rdquo;.
The actor also confessed that he often thinks about what critics will say about his work.
