“I walked in saying, ‘Don’t tell me, I don’t want to know’,” Harington said.
“What’s the point of reading it to myself in my own head when I can listen to people do it and find out with my friends?” he added.
Harington cited another instance when he became emotional and said it was during the table read for the last episode.
“The second time was the very end. Every season, you read at the end of the last script ‘End of Season one,’ or ‘End of Season two,’ This read ‘End of ‘Game of Thrones’.’ And you realise, ‘okay, it’s really happening’,” the actor said.
Recently, the magazine Entertainment Weekly shared the first look of the HBO series, featuring Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke.
