Kit Harington says he was extremely over 'Game of Thrones' by the end

Game of Thrones fans of the show might have bittersweet feelings about the show's final seasons, but actor Kit Harington revealed that the actors welcomed the end after a grueling experience on the last episodes.

“It was like it was designed to make you think, ‘Right, I’m f—ing sick of this,’ ” he told GQ Australia.

“The last season of Thrones seemed to be designed to break us,” said Harington, who throughout the show has had some of the most demanding work in terms of climate and battle sequences.

“Everyone was broken at the end," he said. "I don’t know if we were crying because we were sad it was ending or if we were crying because it was so f—ing tiring. We were sleep deprived.”

GQ Australia describes the 32-year-old actor as harrowed by his near-decade on Thrones:

Like a prisoner who’s almost served a decade and has just been handed a civilian suit before his release at dawn, he’s so near the end now he can taste it.

“I remember everyone walking around towards the end going, ‘I’ve had enough now,'" Harington said. "'I love this, it’s been the best thing in my life, I’ll miss it one day – but I’m done.’”

Game of Thrones returns in April.
