Is Jon Snow Stupid? Interview with Kit Harington

Kit Harington divulges what goes on underneath that beautiful head of hair he has specially done for his role as Jon Snow of HBO hit series Game of Thrones.

Something I learned about him recently, I was trying to work him out and I was thinking, “actually is he quite stupid?” Because I made a few decisions about him and it led to this person who in the books he makes a lot of mistakes, he acts first and doesn’t think about things and so I realised recently he’s a very instinctual person. He’s a good person, he’ll do the right things for people but he won’t think ahead of time.

From saying how Jon can be pretty stupid (as can all of the characters in Game of Thrones) to how he turns his nose up at Lord of the Rings, the interview is actually a fairly entertaining read.

He gives us very vague hints about what’s coming in the second season (coming oh so soon – let’s hope it’s not an April fools’ day prank!) and about his views on the books, the television series, and the fantasy genre in general.
