But when it came to filmingthatscene—the one Emilia Clarke tried to warn him about—he realized that not all battles involve swords. It wasn’t the epic sword fights or the night shoots in freezing temperatures that rattled him the most, but an emotionally grueling moment that pushed him to his limits.

Kit Harington Reveals He Nearly QuitGame of ThronesOver ‘Horrific’ Dragon Scenes
Kit Haringtonovercame his struggles during shooting and personally admitted that the scenes with dragons were so scandalously hot that he came to the idea of leaving the shooting. During an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Harington confirmed that the non-existent dragons forced him to realize that he made a mistake.
The actor, who played Jon Snow in the hit fantasy series, said that his co-starEmilia Clarkehad been warning him about the challenges of the dragon scenes for years. Harington recalled:
Emilia had been moaning about it for seasons, and I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. You have not been through the mud in Northern Ireland.
But she was absolutely right. It was horrific. It’s not acting at all. It is not acting; it never will be acting, and it is not what I’d signed up for. It is very uncomfortable as a man.
Acting with dragons, as Harington pointed out, entailed being surrounded by a complicated rig, and filming in front of a green screen. The VFX team would then composite the dragons in post-production from the scenes filmed in green screens.

Admitting that all the other performers plus himself were too exhausted to proceed with the performance of the show in question, he revealed:
I think if there was any fault with the end of Thrones, is that we were all so f***ing tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer, And so I understand some people thought it was rushed and I might agree with them. But I’m not sure there was any alternative.
Harington’s revelation about the finale adds some new perspective to the still heated discussion on the matters, and everyone knows that even the most popular shows can have some troubles.
While the finale may have disappointed some fans, it’s clear that Harington and the rest of the cast gave it their all, even in the face of exhaustion.
