"Game Of Thrones" star Kit Harington is one of the most recognizable TV stars today thanks to his contract with the HBO series. Fans on the street instantly recognize his long curly locks and thick beard as that of his character, Jon Snow.
He has been sporting the rugged, Brother of the Night's Watch look since he started filming for one of today's most popular TV shows.
Harington's trademark locks have been so standard on his person that when he attended the premiere night of "Testament Of Youth", where he stars as a young British soldier, he reportedly caused quite a stir amongst "Game Of Thrones" fans with shorter hair, according to Huntington Post.
This hair issue also caused him to get bombarded by several questions about it and of course, it drives him crazy.
"It's hair, it's just hair. I'm just amazed by it, it follows me everywhere," he told BBC Radio 1 in an interview earlier this month.
Given all this fanfare about "Game Of Thrones" star Kit Harington's iconic looks, Out magazine couldn't help but ask him what he would look like without his wiry locks.
"I look like this for the show, and this is how people recognize me at the moment," he answered, adding that if he weren't playing Jon Snow he would "have short hair and no beard."
"Maybe a beard. I like having a beard," he amended quickly. "I could walk out on the street now, like this, and I would get recognized a lot."
Being a recognizable star, he has to deal with the press. Truth be told, however, he still finds the attention uncomfortable even after almost five years in the spotlight.
In fact, according to his interview with the magazine, he finds talk shows "terrifying."
"They scare the f--king living shit out of me," "Game Of Thrones" star Kit Harington confessed further. But fans don't have to worry, he's definitely trying to get more used to the limelight. After all, he just signed a contract to play Jon Snow for seven seasons.
