Kit Harington has admitted he had therapy at the height of his Game Of Thrones fame after struggling with his confidence after his epic season five finale. The actor, 32, said he felt under intense scrutiny following his character's brief death at the end of the fifth series, which resulted in him questioning his acting ability. Kit, who is set to reprise his role as Jon Snow in the highly-anticipated eighth and final season, told Variety: 'When you become the cliffhanger of a TV show, and a TV show probably at the height of its power, the focus on you is f***ing terrifying. Speaking out: Kit Harington has admitted he had therapy at the height of his Game Of Thrones fame after struggling with his confidence after his epic season five finale 'You get people shouting at you on the street, 'Are you dead?' At the same time you have to have this appearance. All of your neuroses - and I'm as neurotic as any actor -- get heightened with that level of focus.. Kit's character Jon was stabbed to death by his comrades while guarding the Wall in the North of Westeros, and the series ended with his lifeless body lying on a slab. Discussing how he thought he was meant to feel, Jon admitted that he felt like he had to act like the luckiest guy alive, but on the inside he was struggling. Struggling: The actor, 32, said he felt under intense scrutiny following his character's brief death at the end of the fifth series, which resulted in him questioning his acting ability He said: 'It wasn't a very good time in my life. I felt I had to feel that I was the most fortunate person in the world, when actually, I felt very vulnerable. I had a shaky time in my life around there - like I think a lot of people do in their 20s. He revealed that at that point he decided it was time to talk about how he was feeling, after he began to question his own ability to act. 'That was a time when I started therapy, and started talking to people. I had felt very unsafe, and I wasn't talking to anyone. I had to feel very grateful for what I have, but I felt incredibly concerned about whether I could even f***ing act... 'It's like when you're at a party, and the party's getting better and better. Then you reach this point of the party where you're like, it's peaked. I don't know what I could find more from this. You realise, well, there isn't more. This is it. And the 'more' that you can find is actually in the work rather than the enjoyment surrounding it.' Kit, who is set to reprise his role as Jon Snow in the highly-anticipated eighth and final season, told Variety : 'When you become the cliffhanger of a TV show, and a TV show probably at the height of its power, the focus on you is f***ing terrifying (pictured in March 2018 on The Late Late Show) The show is due to end after the upcoming final season and Kit admitted that, for the first time, relations between the cast grew 'strained' but he insisted they are all fine again now. He said: '[The shoot was] in extreme weather and just in heavy f**king costumes. I was there the whole time this year. I felt a bit like people were coming in and out, and Jon Snow was just f***ing there the whole time. 'You have these in-jokes, and these relationships that thrive for eight years. That's a long time for those jokes to be going, and they never felt old or tired. 'In the last season, I was like, these are getting tired now. And I think they got tired because we could see the end coming. However Kit was quick to add that the cast love each other again after things became 'frayed between them', as they all began to accept that the end was in sight. 'That's a way of emotionally detaching from something: relationships very slightly starting to strain, just on the edges, just frayed. Now everyone loves each other again.'
