Kit Harington accidentally punched Game of Thrones co-star Iwan Rheon

Actor Kit Harington, 29, currently popular as Jon Snow on the famous HBO series Game of Thrones, spoke about how he accidentally punched his co-star Iwan Rheon for real in the latest episode. The scene was in the Battle of the Bastards episode and in it, Jon Snow is seen throwing punches and tackling Ramsay to the ground.

Apparently, actors find it difficult to pretend to beat someone up without a few real blows! Harrington told Mashable, “I actually did punch Iwan in the face twice by accident. Which he took really well. He was really nice about it. I had to buy him a pint after that one.” Rheon also reacted to the incident, he said, “That was good. Jaw hurt a bit the next day.

But, you know, it’s understandable.” Rheon also spoke about his character’s demise to Entertainment Weekly, “I think it’s kind of right he goes down. Because what else is he going to do after this? He’s done so many things. It’s justified and it’s the right thing to do. It’s the right path,” he said.
