The North remembers how great Jon Snow was, but Kit Harington thinks his kids may never know.

The Game of Thrones alum revealed that he doesn’t foresee his 3-year-old son and 12-month-old daughter with wife Rose Leslie becoming big fans of the HBO series. 

“I don't think they'll wanna watch Game of Thrones,” Kit exclusively told E! News at the Aug. 6 premiere of his new show Industry. “I absolutely guarantee you they'll probably never wanna see that show.”

Even when posed with the idea of his little ones getting to see the real-life love story between him and Rose—who tied the knot in 2018 after meeting on set of the show—unfold onscreen, the Industry actor wasn’t optimistic.

“I think they'll be deeply uncomfortable,” Kit explained. “I don't think they're gonna wanna watch anything I'm in. I really don't. I think it's gonna be one of those sadnesses that I'll be like, ‘Hey, look at this thing I was in 20 years ago.’ And they'll be like, ‘Dad no.’” (For more from Kit, tune into E! News tonight, Aug. 6 at 11 p.m.)

But that lack of appreciation won’t dampen the 37-year-old’s love for the series.

“I mean, it's incredible to me and really heartwarming that that whole franchise is continuing,” he said. “I just think it's brilliant. I think long may it continue.”

As for what’s next for Kit? The actor, who is on the heels of doing an ad for the Game of Thrones: Legends video game, just wants to keep doing what he loves.

“All I know right now is I'm doing a play and I love theatre and want to continue doing that,” he said. “As long as I get to do a bit of filming and a bit of theatre, to me, it doesn't matter what it is.”
