Harrington was nominated for two Emmys, in supporting actor and lead actor in a drama series, during his time on “Game of Thrones.” Following the series’ eight season long run, Harington starred in Marvel Studios’ superhero movie “Eternals”.

Meanwhile, Kit, who spent time in rehab after ‘Game of Thrones’ ended, welcomed a son with wife Rose Leslie last year said he has never been happier. He said: “I have a child and my relationship is brilliant, I’m a very, very happy, content, sober man.”

However, the British actor said he is exhausted as he has taken over parenting responsibilities while Rose is filming a new project in New York.

He said: “Like, honestly, my back is wrecked. I go to the gym quite a bit, but there’s something about having a child that is the most physically draining thing. I don’t know how (single parents) do it.

“Because it’s more exhausting than everything I did on ‘Game of Thrones’.”
