Kit Harington has had it good on Game of Thrones. While plenty of main characters have bit the bucket unexpectedly, Jon Snow has been one of the few citizens of Westeros to hang around since season one.

But the downside of that is that he's had to keep the same look for the best part of a decade, and playing a character for that long makes people confuse you for the character.

Once the show wraps up next year, he is planning to overhaul his look and leave his Jon Snow image behind.

He told Entertainment Weekly: "I'd like to step away and enjoy the obscurity, cut my hair, make myself less recognisable as the character, and go do and some other things with a completely new look and tone."

How short is he planning to cut his signature long locks? "Short-short."

"The beard will be harder to get rid of," he added. "I quite like the beard. I like having the long hair and beard both, but it will be like ritualistic thing.

"I can't go into my next role looking the same. This role was brilliant, but I'll need to get rid of Jon Snow."

Emilia Clarke recently finished filming on the show, and marked the occasion with an emotional Instagram post.
