Jon Snow’s watch has ended — but don’t askKit Haringtonabout the details!
“I still haven’t seen the show,” Harington, 32, admitted when asked about thenegative reactiontowards the show’s conclusion in May. “So that’s how I dealt with that controversy. I haven’t seen the final season.”
“But I know what it took to shoot it,” he continued. “And it was hard and everyone put their love and effort into it. And controversy — I think for us, we knew what we were doing was right, story-wise. And we knew that it was right for the characters because we lived with them for 10 years. So controversy for us didn’t really affect us.”
