11 Things You Didn’t Know About Kit Harington
9. He Finds Being A Sex Symbol Demeaning
You'd be forgiven to think that Kit, like most men, would love the attention of millions of girls around the world, but unfortunately nothing is further from the truth.
“To always be put on a pedestal as a hunk is slightly demeaning,” he told Page Six in March 2015. "It really is and it’s in the same way as it is for women. When an actor is seen only for her physical beauty, it can be quite offensive."
In a way, he feels that interviewers tend to push his work aside just to talk about how it feels to be good-looking. Which as problems go, is not the worst issue to have, though you can see his point about reductive criticism ignoring his skills entirely.
