Kit Harington has entered a therapy program to deal with some personal issues. First confirmed by Entertainment Weekly after a New York Post reported that the Game of Thrones star has entered a “luxury rehab for stress and alcohol use.”
The actor has been in a Connecticut health retreat for nearly a month, checking in before the HBO drama’s recent finale. A representative of Harington stated,
“Kit has decided to utilize this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues,”
According to the Post original report,
“The British actor has been undergoing psychological coaching, practicing mindful meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy to combat stress and deal with negative emotions at the facility, which costs over $120,000 a month.”
The Thrones documentary The Last Watch was also released Sunday that showed Harington crying in when he first learned his characters series changing choice in the series finale.
The actor also told Esquire in April that he broke down after shooting his final scenes as the character, Harington stated,
“The final day of shooting, I felt fine . . . I felt fine . . . I felt fine. . . Then I went to do my last shots and started hyperventilating a bit. Then they called, “Wrap!” And I just f—ing broke down. It was this onslaught of relief and grief about not being able to do this again.”
Our best wishes out to Harington.
