Game of Thrones Season 8 marked the final time we would be seeing one of the most iconic shows in television history. We had to bid farewell to beloved characters like Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, who have almost become a part of our lives. However, no one was hit harder by the impact of the end to GOT like actor Kit Harington. Kit has been a part of Game of Thrones from the first episode and playing a character as strenuous as Jon Snow took a major toll on the actor. Recently, it was revealed that Harington has checked into rehab for stress, exhaustion and alcohol.

Richard Madden, who played Robb Stark in the first three seasons of GOT, was asked by Associated Press about his good friend Kit's rehab stint during the New York premiere of his film, Rocketman. Initially, Richard spoke about how he sometimes forgets that he was a part of the legendary show but that it was a very big part of his life and that he was thrilled that the series went so well. Furthermore, when asked about Harington's health, the actor refused to comment as he said, "I'm not going to comment on that just now, thank you."

We wish a speedy recovery for Kit!
