Kit Harington says fatherhood is more exhausting than everything he did on Game of Thrones

Being a parent is one of the most beautiful experiences in life. But it can be equally as grueling and exhausting. Your child takes up most of your attention and requires extra care, especially during the early days. Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow is certainly learning about that, and is past his ‘knowing nothing‘ days. Kit Harington recently shared his fatherhood experience in an interview with The Sunday Times, calling single parents f***ing genius. It clearly looks like he is having a hard time adjusting to his new role, even with the support of his wife Rose Leslie.

Harington said, “My hat goes off to any single parent. Any single parent, you’re a f****** genius. I don’t know how you do it. Because it’s more exhausting than everything I did on Game of Thrones.”

Harington recently also talked to SiriusXM in The Jess Cagle Show about dealing with his mental issues after Game of Thrones. He said, “I went through, kind of, some mental health difficulties after Thrones and during the end of Thrones, to be honest. And I think it was directly to do with the nature of the show and what I’ve been doing for years.”

“I think I took, sort of, a break after Thrones where, so, I don’t want to work for a year [and] I want to really kind of concentrate on myself. I think I’m really happy I did that.”
