Kit Harington feels like 'a dying dog'

Los Angeles: ‘Game of Thrones’ actor Kit Harington says he feels like a "dying dog" in front of photographers.

The 28-year-old, who stars as Jon Snow in the HBO fantasy TV series, talks about how much he dislikes the promotional side of his job, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

He told the Observer newspaper: "This is the work. The selling of it. People taking pictures of you in the street as if you were a rare bird of prey."

"I understand when you're in a big show and you look like you do, people want to show their mate on Instagram or whatever. But sometimes it feels like I'm a beautiful sunrise... or a dying dog."

Harington recently revealed that the demand to keep his hair long and dark for his "Game of Thrones" role has made it tough to find work even when the show isn't filming.

He said: "You can get your haircut at the beginning of the year and it's gonna grow back. But it's tricky to do a project nearer the time of 'Thrones'."
