Kit Harington Got Into a Fight at McDonalds Before His ‘Game of Thrones’ Audition

Date:

Kit Harington got into a fight at McDonalds the night before his Game of Thrones audition.

When Kit Harington auditioned for the role of Jon Snow he had a black eye. Why? Well, he had gotten into a fight at McDonald’s the night before.

As he explains in a video for W Magazine he and the young woman he was “sort of dating at the time” stopped by a McDonald’s late one night. There was a shortage of seats, so they joined another couple at their table. But one of their companions started getting upset and acting increasingly rude until, “He called her something like an ugly pig or something worse,” according to Harington. “I got up and said: ‘No, no, no, you can’t, you can’t call her that, get up.’” And, this happened:

Jon Snow

“So I called him up for a fight, which I’d never done before,” Harington went on. “And of course he’d been sat down the whole time, and he got up and he just … kept going. And I just realized at that point that I had to throw the first punch otherwise I’d look like a complete wimp.”

The end result?

“I got battered,” Harington admitted. “So then I went to the Jon Snow audition with a black eye – which I think that man who punched me in the face may have helped me get the job, so if you’re watching, thank you.”

He also admitted that he fell asleep on the stone slab while filming his dead Jon Snow scenes. “There’s nothing scarier than waking up in the middle ofGame of Thrones world, naked, with everyone standing over you, and thinking,Oh my God, I’ve died and I’ve actually ended up in Westeros.

This is pretty interesting. I guess at the end of the day, you never know where life will take you.
