Kit Harington secretly checked himself into rehab to work on some ‘personal issues’ while Game of Thrones reached its conclusion.
The 32-year-old has been hit so hard by the end of his career-defining franchise that he turned to alcohol and is now being treated for stress. A representative for Kit confirmed in a statement to Metro.co.uk: ‘Kit has decided to utilise this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues.’
Sources report that Harington, who played Jon Snow in the fantasy series, 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 wirh 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.”
