Kit Harington has revealed he almost suffered a gruesome fate shooting a scene on a flying mechanical dragon.
The actor, who plays Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, recounted the moment he was swung around by his testicles filming the dramatic moment.
“Buck work is not easy,” the 32-year-old quipped in a behind-the-scenes clip for Game Revealed.
“I think what sums up the buck for me was there was a bit where Jon almost falls off [the dragon].”
In my head I thought, ‘This is how it ends'

Going into graphic detail, the English TV star explained how he feared for his life when his private parts got stuck in the machine.
“It swings round really violently and my right ball got trapped and I didn't have time to say stop and I was being swung round,” he added.
“In my head I thought, ‘This is how it ends, on this buck swinging me round by my testicles’. Literally.”
The award-winning actor continued: “Probably too much information.”
Season eight of the HBO television drama premiered in the US on April 14 and in the UK the following day.
The highly-anticipated final series received record ratings, with some 17.4 million people in the US having watched Sunday night’s premiere episode.
