Kit Harington recently made an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, where he shared a hilarious and slightly embarrassing story about a prank he played on his fiancee, Rose Leslie. The couple, who met on the set of Game of Thrones, have been together for quite some time and their engagement made headlines. During the interview, Harington opened up about the engagement and how he had planned a romantic proposal.
Harington revealed that he had initially planned to propose to Leslie with a grand gesture, including lights and trees. However, things didn’t go quite as planned, and he ended up popping the question earlier than intended. Harington admitted that he “blew his load early,” but it turned out to be a magical moment regardless. Leslie, who was pregnant at the time, was pleasantly surprised by the proposal but also had a little crying moment.
But the real highlight of the interview was when Harington shared a video prank he played on Leslie. The couple has a tradition of pranking each other, and this particular one didn’t go down too well. Harington filmed himself scaring Leslie in the kitchen by hiding a terrifying figure in the fridge. Leslie’s reaction was priceless, and she ended up in tears. Harington admitted that the prank didn’t go as planned and that Leslie wasn’t too happy about it.
Despite the prank, the couple seems to be stronger than ever. They have been busy with their respective projects, with Harington currently starring in the new series Gunpowder. The show, based on true events, tells the story of the Gunpowder Plot and Harington’s character’s involvement. Interestingly, Harington revealed that he has a personal connection to the story, as one of his ancestors was actually involved in the plot. He shared that discovering this family history made him even more passionate about bringing the story to life on screen.
Aside from their shared projects, Harington and Leslie enjoy spending time together as a family. Harington spoke fondly about becoming a father and how his own father, who recently had some health issues, has been an amazing grandfather to their daughter. Harington described his father as “magical” and shared that he often entertains their daughter with his bird calls and funny noises.
Of course, Game of Thrones was also discussed during the interview. Harington spoke about the pressure of keeping spoilers a secret and how he has learned to avoid talking about the show to anyone. He mentioned that he will soon be attending the read-through for the final season and even joked about the possibility of having a Game of Thrones-themed wedding, although it seems unlikely.
Overall, Harington’s appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show was filled with laughter and entertainment. The prank may not have gone exactly as planned, but it was a memorable moment for the couple and highlighted their playful relationship. Fans can look forward to seeing Harington in Gunpowder and eagerly await the final season of Game of Thrones.
