Kit Harington Recalls “Humiliating” Moment Bella Ramsey Helped Him With His Lines on Game of Thrones

Reunions can be sweet and sometimes embarrassing. In a recent conversation between Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Bella Ramsey for Interview Magazine, the two looked back on their time working on the fantasy epic together. What started as a nostalgic chat quickly turned into a laugh-filled reflection on a moment Harington found, well, a little humbling.

Ramsey, who played the fierce and fan-favorite Lyanna Mormont, revealed they once helped Harington with his lines during one of their first scenes together. Ramsey admitted:

“I don’t know whether you remember this, but I remember it quite vividly and have some remorse for it now, but during that scene I was mouthing your lines to you.”

“Now I’m like, 'Oh my gosh, how awful.' But at the time it came from a very innocent place of being like, 'Kit’s struggling with his line and I know it, so let me just mouth it to him.”

Harington, to his credit, took it in stride — even if it did sting a bit.

“I do remember you helping me out and it being quite humiliating. [Laughs] But yeah, thanks for that. I’ve probably chosen to forget it.”

But the moment didn’t just bruise his ego, it lit a fire under him. He continmued:

“If anything I was like, 'Oh god, I’ve got to up my game. I came here not really being comfortable enough with my lines, in the arrogance of however old I was, thinking I’m just opposite some child.

“And then that child actor is wiping me off the screen. Not that it’s a competition, but you’re like, 'Oh, I’ve got a bit too comfortable in my Jon Snow-ness.’”

Their exchange is a funny reminder that even seasoned actors can be caught off guard, especially when a younger co-star brings their A-game.
