Kit Harrington confesses to be being self-obsessed in the past:- Kit Harrington, who is known for playing Jon Snow in ‘Game of Thrones’, feels fortunate to have been surrounded by “truthful” people throughout his career to humble him.
Harrington told Candis magazine: “There are times when I’ve been an idiot. When I’ve been wrapped up in myself. But I’ve always had people around me who’ve been truthful.”
The actor said he’s learned from his past mistakes, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
He said: “There’s not much I’d change, because the mistakes I’ve made in the world I’ve found myself in have made me who I am today. And at the moment, I’m happy with myself.”
He also appreciates the support he’s received from his parents.
The actor explained how his mum encouraged him to pursue his ambitions “in a really intelligent and sensitive way.”
He shared: “Their genius in parenting was not to push us into anything but to look at what we were intrinsically drawn by. So I was never pushed into acting, just as my brother was never pushed into what he did.
“For instance, when I was a kid and liked dinosaurs, my mother would buy me everything about dinosaurs.

“So when I got older and drama came along, it was her who guided me, ‘OK, do you want to go to drama school? Do you want to join the National Youth Theatre, or maybe you want to do this course at RADA?’ She was always there, delicately puppeteering my young life, but in a really intelligent and sensitive way. She’s a fantastic woman.”
