Kit Harington keeps Game of Thrones finale a secret from wife Rose Leslie

Kit Harington says the Game Of Thrones finale is such a secret that he has even kept it from his wife and former co-star Rose Leslie.

The 32-year-old actor, who plays Jon Snow in the hit HBO series, told A-List that he has an “understanding” with Leslie, 31, whom he first met on set when she played his lover Ygritte.

He said he also didn’t want to ruin her enjoyment of the show’s final series, which will be broadcast in April. “Spoilers are one of those things in my daily life which I just have to avoid,” he said. “Me and [Rose] and my friends all have an understanding now, which is that you don’t really want to know, even if you push me too hard.”

Though Harington has become adept at keeping Game Of Thrones secrets, he said that his friends regularly try to trick him into sharing plot points from the fantasy drama — especially those that relate to who will finally sit on the Iron Throne.

“A lot of people will try and trip me up, so they’ll go, ‘So, you sit on the throne, right?’ ” he said. “And you have to go, ‘No, no — I’m not going anywhere near that question!’ ”

Remaining tight-lipped as ever regarding the show’s eventual outcome, Harington did reveal that he hopes viewers will be “shedding tears” at the finale.

The actor, who has reprised his role as dragon trapper Eret in How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, described his Thrones alter ego as “the least funny character that’s ever been written,” and spoke of his desire to tackle lighter, more comic material in the future.

He said: “What’s nice with this film, stepping into something a little bit more fun and comic, is it’s a release from that. I’m always looking for something which is a bit ridiculous … something like this definitely whets your appetite to do something which is fun and a bit silly.”

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World will be in cinemas from February 1
