Jon Snow knows everything.
In theseason 8 premiere, theGame of Thronesfan-favorite was finally told his true parentage.
Oh, and this also means Jons lover is his aunt.
Its admittedly a lot to take in.
Kit Harington tells EW that this revelation is the most upsetting thing in the world to his character.
Hed happily be in ignorance.
In most respects, Jons reaction is pretty much what youd expect except, perhaps, a bit angrier.
Hes not hard to predict, Jon, he doesnt do many unexpected things, Harington says.
You mark the particularly tricky scenes that youre going have to concentrate on and this was one.
He finds out such a massive piece of information.
Its hard for any actor to play.
Its not a two-hour movie but eight seasons of playing a character whos finding out.
Harington notes Jon is pretty enraged by this news and struggling to contain himself.
The key to it is the audience already knows, he says.
So its not a shock to them.
With Jon, its about what he says, Youre telling me my father lied to me?
My father, the most honorable man Ive known my entire life, youre saying that?
For that moment, Samwell is nothing to him.
Jon would disown this friend and beat him up if he was trying to lie to him about this.
I hope it was.
Thats the thing I love about Jon, his purity, Harington says.
He doesnt fking want it.
He doesnt want that fking information.
He doesnt want to know.
He has no ambition for the throne.
Hes never wanted that.
John Bradley, who plays Samwell, gave some insights into filming the pivotal scene as well.
You know The Beatles White Album?
Just toward the end is Revolution 9, which is a very sinister soundscape.
Everything hes done seems to have been compromised.
