Kit Harington hates being called a hunk. He said women can be sexually inappropriate against men as well, only looking at male actors’ appearance instead of their talent.

Page Six reports that “Game of Thrones” star Harington hates being called a heartthrob or a hunk. He said he did not get into the business for that feat. While it is rare for male actors to complain about being treated as a sexual object, Harington is putting it out that his fans can sometimes get offensive with their admiration and adoration of his physical beauty. He said, "t’s not just men that can be inappropriate sexually; women can be as well.” He added, "I’m in a successful TV show in a kind of leading man way and it can sometimes feel like your art is being put to one side for your sex appeal.” He said he does not like this about his life as a famous actor.

He also knows that women swoon over his dark, thick, and often wild hair. He said his hair personally irritates him but he finds it interesting that so many are fascinated by it. But irritated as he is that people who watch “Game of Thrones” like his hair so much, he loves that they think he has good hair and that he does not need to worry about going bald.

Speaking about his role as Jon Snow on the “Game of Thrones” TV series, he said Snow has a lot of qualities he personally has in reality. He said like Snow, he can be “brave and foolhardy at the same time.” He added that like Snow, who is an outcast and a black sheep in the series, he sometimes have difficulties fitting in. He added that he is quite private and is more introvert than extrovert. He said he could only be lively when he is with friends. Like Snow, he has a penchant for redheads, too.

In a recent interview with Radio Times, Harington spilled more about the upcoming season of “Game of Thrones.” He said fans can expect it to play out like a “horror film.”
