Kit Harington opens up about sobriety after revealing suicidal thoughts: ‘I was so lucky’

He no longer knows nothing.

Kit Harington, 37, opened up to GQ Hype about his past issues in an interview published Monday.

“I was so lucky I got sober before having kids,” Harington told the outlet, revealing that at one time it felt “physically and emotionally impossible for me not to drink again.”

Harington shares two kids — a 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter -— with his wife, former “Game of Thrones” co-star Rose Leslie, 37. The couple tied the knot in 2018 at Leslie’s ancestral castle in Scotland.

Harington first addressed his dark thoughts while speaking to the Times in 2021.

Kit Harington reveals why he ‘backed out’ of ‘Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow spinoff

“Things that have happened to me … of a pretty traumatic nature, and they did include alcohol,” he said at the time. “You get to a place where you feel like you are a bad person; you feel like you are a shameful person. And you feel that there’s no way out, that’s just who you are.”

When asked if he had felt suicidal before, Harington said, “I will give you an answer to that question: the answer is yes. Yes of course. I went through periods of real depression where I wanted to do all sorts of things.”

Harington told GQ on Monday that his attitude has changed since he sought treatment for alcoholism in 2019.

“Before getting sober, I would stare in the mirror and call myself a c–t. I’d hate myself. I would literally despise myself and not be proud of anything I’d done. I couldn’t be proud,” he said.

The “Game of Thrones” star added, “So the fact that I am proud of getting sober is in and of itself a mark of being an entirely different person … Whereas before I had this huge monkey on my back that was just, like, weighing me down. So yeah, the whole nature of being proud of myself is a relatively new prospect for me.”

Kit Harington thinks his kids will ‘never’ watch ‘Game of Thrones’: ‘Deeply uncomfortable’

Earlier in his career when he was at the height of his “GOT” fame, Harington said, “I was trying to project this image of utter sophistication and coolness about what I was doing but genuinely [was] sort of terrified about everything.”

Harington, who currently stars in HBO’s British workplace drama “Industry,” rose to fame as Jon Snow on “Game of Thrones” from 2011-2019.

The hit show has spawned two spinoffs to date: “House of the Dragon,” which recently finished Season 2 with 9 million viewers tuning in, and “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” coming out in 2025.

Both “GOT” author George R.R. Martin and HBO CEO Casey Bloys confirmed that another spinoff about the King of the North was in the works, but Harington revealed that the show was no longer happening.

“I think if there was any fault with the end of ‘Thrones,’ it’s that we were all so f–king tired, we couldn’t have gone on longer,” said Harington, who starred on the series with Emilia Clarke , Peter Dinklage , Sophie Turner , Maisie Williams , Lena Headey and more.

Harington added, “And so I understand some people thought it was rushed and I might agree with them. But I’m not sure there was any alternative. I look at pictures of me in that final season and I look exhausted. I look spent. I didn’t have another season in me.”

As for the backlash about the series finale , Harington said that when he went into treatment for his substance abuse issues, “Everyone loved Thrones; I came out and everyone hated it. I thought, What the f–k is going on?!”

He added,  “Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think there were mistakes made, story-wise, toward the end maybe. I think there were some interesting choices that didn’t quite work.”

John Bradley, who co-starred as Jon Snow’s best friend, Sam Tarly, had a similar sentiment when he spoke to The Post in April about why he wouldn’t want to be in the “Snow” show before the plug was pulled on it.

“I think that if I was to go back to it now, it would feel like a bit of a step backward. I’m not sure that I could necessarily contact that character as easily as I could then. I think I’ve changed as a person, and I think certain aspects of my personality have developed and diverged from what that character was at the time,” said Bradley.

He added, “It just feels like going back to it might take something away from my holistic view of that character’s arc.”

Harington told GQ that he doesn’t know what’s ahead in his future.

“I might have one massive, messy, chaotic relapse. And I hope that doesn’t happen. But I think I protect myself by talking about it.”
