The recent student of the theater school becomes a world -class celebrity, a happy husband and father. A successful turn of fate, isn’t it? But you should not bring a person to his success, the star of the

series “Game of Thrones” Keith Harington believes. After all, life is “a piece with a hardener”. In anticipation of the Russian premiere of the film “Eternal” we publish his recent interview.
“You are incredibly serious, you realize how important what you do. And you are sitting on marble steps in a theater school with a script or play, you sip the most highly coffee. You are all in dramatic-black, for everything already know about life, it remains only to realize it in roles that the viewer and criticism will remember forever “.
So he recalls as he was 12 years ago at the Central School of Drama in London – with a smile, with a condescending to himself the past. But he is also inclined to relate to himself with irony: “Actually, you see, little has changed. I am still in black, I drink espresso, I know little about life, but we talk about important things ”.
This is partly true. Keith Harington is all in black, perfectly black: it has jeans, T -shirt, suede shoes. Even his glasses – in a thin black frame. But there is a suspicion that the similarity between the two whales ends. In the restrained, I would even say that a quiet person opposite me at the bar of a bar in a London hotel is felt and melancholy is felt.
But I do not have to ask him a leading question, is he so unchanged and could they go without a trace of 10 years of work on the “Game of Thrones”. Because he continues his thought, resolutely refuting his own irony.
Perhaps this is his most characteristic feature – it seems that there is nothing in this world, which Keith Harington does not take seriously, would not accept as something important. It seems that the words “half -hearted”, “easily”, “forget”, “quit” and “do not pay attention” not from his vocabulary and cannot relate to him.
His byron face is not an image and not a mask. A restrained elegant person opposite me is the embodiment of maturity and responsibility. I don’t know if this is a gift or a cross.
Kit Harington: You see, you graduated from theater school. For a year now you have been playing a major role in the most famous West end of the show-it was the famous “fighting horse”, regularly revived at different venues in the world.
You are preparing for a role in a play that can become the main event on the British stage – in Shika, caustic satire. You have preliminary readers with a female director of just frightening will and intelligence and six weeks of rehearsals, half of which are the study of characters strictly according to Stanislavsky.
Of course, you played in the pilot of the series “Game of Thrones” on a large American television channel, and this is an amazing luck for a young British actor, but the pilot is terrible, the channel wrapped it. And you already make up your personal list of upcoming achievements. It has neither television, nor cinema, but only genuine, theatrical, on the main scenes of Britain ..
And then it turns out that the series is renewed. It is huge, epic, phenomenal. He has an inconceivable success, and your experience in it is a gloomy type of John Snow, moral-one-cognitive, the most heroic of all possible heroes. And it turns out, the main thing that happened to you in life is this series.
Psychologies: you want to say it was too cool turn?
Yes, a complete change in the entire life paradigm, plans, ideas about yourself and what you should and can do! 10 years of life at the “Game of Thrones”. Contract of the contract, hard schedule. From 22 to 32 years old.
All youth, it turns out.
. And also fame. You become in a sense a cult figure, with all the attributes of a cult-you are under a magnifying glass and a paparazzi camera, constant requests for selfie with you, advertising shooting, that you will not go to the supermarket, the obligations to promote the series, strange publications in the press. This can be imagined, but prepare for this. The massive occurrence of fame on you is actually not, it is impossible.
I didn’t know how to respond when one Russian model posted on its Instagram (an extremist organization banned in Russia) supposedly my photos in the hotel room is naked and claimed that we had a novel and that it happened in Luxembourg. And I have never been to Luxembourg! And he was completely confused – he was not ready for such frank and aggressive speculations. Yes, I was not ready at all related to such intense work, with wide fame. And as a result, he ended up in drug clinics in Connecticut.
How all this happened? What exactly you were treated from?
From alcoholism. I washed down. For a long time. After finishing work in the series. Yes, and at the end of the filming was depressed. The case ended with a pogrom in the bar and a fight. Then I realized that it was time to “give up”. Although before that I somehow managed to keep my binge secret even from the closest.
But I decided to be treated not because they could find out about it. And because I became. a disgusting person. Was so disgusting to himself that. Well, yes, I could do something with him. I just realized that I was a very, very bad person. He was ashamed of himself. And it would be better for me. Do not be at all. Or somehow manage to change. I succeeded. Change. Come to terms with who I became. Whatever it means.
And then there was a Lokdown – almost the best time in my life. Beds. Reading. Under the leadership of Rose (actress Rose Leslie is the performer of the role of febal Igritt in the series, now the actor’s wife) attempts to meditation, although this is not mine, I am hyperactive, I can’t sit on the spot, my relaxation is movement, and meditation is a gym. And poems.
Yes, for sure, you write poetry.
Bad mostly. But I read a lot of poetry. I am a regular of almost all poetic sites on English on the Internet. In those days, Jack Anderwood Verlibr turned me over “Happiness”. It has a simple, piercing explanation of what happiness is, so air, light. Happiness is not the circumstances of life, but a sensation.
When the mother came to visit her son in London, they get on the bus, he carries her suitcase. And they are together. When the shoots of asparagus in the garden are tied with a purple ribbon-and this is so bright-when nothing blooms, and purple on a light green. Ordinary things are illuminated by a sense of happiness, yes.
And then the book “Deprived” Ursula Le Guin fell into my hands. I don’t know why only then – this is my favorite writer from childhood. Well, there, in the “deprived”, somewhere closer to the beginning the hero reflects on mental pain, about the feeling of a fatal life loss. And comes to the conclusion that suffering and pain make us learn more about ourselves and the world than happiness. This is exactly the case.
That is, you do not regard your career take -off, your status of a star is as incredible, like me, and everyone probably seems to be good luck?
The fact of the matter is that the “Game of Thrones” and everything that has happened to me over the past 12 years is incredible luck. But luck also needs to be able to survive, accept. Life is a piece with a hardener, what is happening to you in appearance, you yourself can not evaluate it not so unequivocally.
But yes, all the main and happiest in my life came to me from the Game of Thrones. Rose first of all. By the series we are in love with each other, although the enemies. And here is the shooting in Iceland, incredible beauty nature. Love scenes. And you understand that you are in love, like your hero.
At the same time, the entire film crew involuntarily becomes something like a family: shooting in Iceland ends at 4 o’clock in the afternoon-daylight is short, ahead of the whole evening, you live in the same hotel, around no bars, no movie theaters. So you always together, live side by side, come together. Rose and I have been together for 8 years.
We parted, then united, then dispersed again. But as a result, they realized that we are worse without each other than together. For me it is love. Sounds unromanitive, yes? And for me this is the most, if you want, elevated romance – that you just feel bad when there is no other nearby. This is a real connection, deep. And ours, in my opinion, is only stronger. Although Rose is not always delighted with mine, for example, jokes.
