Kit Harington confirmed this week on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” (via The Hollywood Reporter) that the end of “Game of Thrones” is what led him to check into wellness rehabilitation center in May 2019. The actor’s publicist confirmed at the time that he was seeking professional treatment “to work on some personal issues.” Harington checked into the wellness center just ahead of the “Thrones” finale, which became one of the more polarizing events in recent television history.
“I went through some mental health difficulties after ‘Thrones,’ and during the end of ‘Thrones,’ to be honest,” Harington confirmed to SiriusXM host Cagle. “I think it was directly due to the nature of the show and what I had been doing for years.”
Harington made the decision to take an acting break after “Thrones” so that he could “really concentrate on myself,” adding, “I’m really happy I did that.
