Game of Thrones star actor, Jon Snow checks into rehab
Game of Thrones’
star, Kit Harington, who acted the character, Jon Snow, has reportedly checked
into rehab for stress and alcohol following the show’s ending.
The London-born
actor was working on “personal issues” at a retreat in the US before the HBO
series came to an end in May after eight seasons, NAN reports.
Sources report that
Harington is reported to have checked into the luxury centre weeks before its
May 19 finale.
According to the
New York Post’s Page Six, he remains at the luxury health retreat Privé-Swiss
in Connecticut and checked in almost a month ago.
Sources told the
website that the actor checked into the centre over stress and alcohol use,
especially with the show ending which “really hit him hard”.
A representative
for the star said Harington was spending time at the retreat to “work on some
personal issues”.
The news emerged
after a documentary about the show, ‘The Last Watch’, showed Harington in tears
as he learned about his character’s fate.
Harington told
Esquire in April that he broke down after filming Jon’s final scenes.
He said, “The final
day of shooting, I felt fine… I felt fine… I felt fine… Then I went to do my
last shots and started hyperventilating a bit.
“Then they called,
‘Wrap!’ And I just broke down. It was this onslaught of relief and grief about not
being able to do this again.”
News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) reports that Harington is married to his Game Of Thrones co-star,
Rose Leslie.
