Jon Snow may know nothing.
But the actor who portrays Jon Snow apparently knows a little something about getting his rocks off at an early age.
Indeed, in an interview with Elle, the typically tight-lipped Kit Harington opens up about a number of personal issues, not the least of which is when he first inserted his penis into a woman’s vagina.
On Game of Thrones, of course, Harington’s character was famously a virgin until he was unable to resist the allure of Rose Leslie’s Ygritte inside of a cave.
How did this fictional experience compare to the actual way in which Harington first had sex with a woman?
“Mine was a little less left-field than in a cave,” the actor told Elle. “It was a typical sort of teenage thing, at a party. I was probably too young.”
Just how young, the magazine asked as a follow-up, 13 years old?
“No, but you’re not far off. I think the girl and I just kind of wanted to. You either hold on and do it right, or you’re young and decide to get the monkey off your back.”
At least that monkey probably didn’t have to hold on for too long prior to getting hurled off Harington’s back… if you know what we mean.
But while the Internet has focused on Harington’s virginity admission as the basis for its headline related to this interview, the exchange actually revealed something just as interesting about the handsome star.
Is it true that one of his ancestors invented the first flushing toilet for Queen Elizabeth I?
Yes! It is!
“That’s 100 percent true. It’s called “the John Harington,” Kit replied.
So you know what this means, right?
Many folks out there refer to the bathroom as “the john” because of Harington’s family!
“I’m glad it’s not called “the Harington,” Kit laughed when this topic was broached, adding:
“[My family] also wrote the queen a lot of bad poetry. I’ve inherited the bad poetry genes, but not the inventor genes.”
Among other Kit Harington revelations we learned from this fascinating interview:
- He plays the board game Risk.
- He was a “massive” Sesame Street fan as a child.
- He often cries on airplanes because there’s “something romantic” about “being at that altitude.”
Game of Thrones returns with new episodes this summer.
