Kit said, “I’d like to step away and enjoy the obscurity, cut my hair, make myself less recognisable as the character and go do and some other things with a completely new look and tone”.
When asked exactly how short will he go? Harington said, “Short-short. The beard will be harder to get rid of 1 I quite like the beard. I like having the long hair and beard both, but it will be like ritualistic thing. I can’t go into my next role looking the same. This role was brilliant, but I’ll need to get rid of Jon Snow”.
