Kit Harington is the father of two children, whom he shares with his wife Rose Leslie.
According to a new report from PEOPLE magazinethe Game of Thrones alum spoke with Mr. Porter and reflected on how fatherhood came into his life at the “right time,” adding that he’s grateful to come home and just “be a dad.”
The actor told the outlet that after a long day of filming, seeing his son and daughter makes everything he endured on set fade away.
“Because Rose and I knew it was probably going to be a pretty tough season with this stuff, and Rose was working in Stratford doing a play, she said, ‘Okay, take the kids while you’re filming in Cardiff,’” he said.
“So when I got back from filming, where I was doing God knows what, I walked in and the kids were there, and everything that was dark that I had been dealing with during the day was gone,” Harington continued.
“It was crazy and wonderful. I was going to go home and be a father.”
The devoted father then shared rare details about his children and his journey as a father.
“They are both awake to the world and they are nice,” he said, referring to his children.
“They are everything I want from my children. I am blessed with two who have both qualities in spades.”
