Yahoo News Why Kit Harington went to fancy dress party as Jon Snow
Kit Harington has revealed that his fiancée Rose Leslie once made him go to a fancy dress party dressed as his Game of Thrones character Jon Snow.
(And no, she didn't go as Ygritte.)
Harington told heat magazine: "She pulled out a Jon Snow costume, and Rose just whispered in my ear, 'I won't love you if you don't wear it... You should do it'."
Explaining that the theme of the party was "bad taste", Kit continued: "It was really embarrassing. The people bringing around canapés were looking at me, thinking, 'You're sad, man! You've come to a party dressed as your character.'"
(Erm, canapés at a fancy dress party??)
Anyway, it's even better that Kit revealed he wasn't wearing the actual costume from Thrones, rather a Jon Snow costume from a fancy dress shop. It may have looked something like this:
This embarrassing reveal comes after the GoT couple announced their impending nuptials in a charming notice in the The Times, following significant reporting on their engagement.
Earlier this month, Kit described how he actually proposed – and his choice of words telling the tale was, erm, interesting...
"We did a little announcement in The Times," he explained. "I did have some plans to do it, I was going to string up some lights in some trees and do all the romantic stuff but we were in the country and we were under this beautiful night sky and had a log fire burning and red wine and I blew my load early. Sorry, that's a really bad expression.
"I was meant to do it the day after with the lights," he clarified. "What I meant to say was, I popped my question a bit early. Not 'blew my load'."
Kit Harington stars in Gunpowder, a three-part drama which starts this Saturday (October 21) at 9.10pm on BBC One. Watch a trailer right here...
