Game Of Thrones’ Kit Harington Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles

Harington became a household name after featuring in the hit HBO series which ended in 2019, but, after being on the show for the best part of a decade, he began to see his mental health deteriorate.

With this in mind, the star took a break from work after finishing Game of Thrones(GoT), something he says he’s glad he did.

Speaking on The Jess Cagle Show, he said, as per Metro Online, ‘I think I took a sort of break after Thrones where I said, ‘I don’t want to work for a year. I want to really kind of concentrate on myself’. I’m really happy I did that.’

He’s since told The Times that he has been through some ‘pretty horrible stuff’, and even started to feel like he’d become a ‘bad person’.
