Kit Harington is known for his sword-swinging role as Jon Snow in HBO's violent medieval fantasy series Game of Thrones. But the actor, 31, has hit out at the stereotype of the mach hero, saying such roles on screen mean young boys often feel like they have to be tough to be respected. Speaking to The Sunday Times Culture, Kit said he believes 'something's gone wrong' and questioned how to tackle the problem of toxic masculinity in the #MeToo era.

Apparently, Kit needs to make me a sandwich.
Movies in general are all trying to program. Read a book.
Boys always pretend to be the tough macho men. No boy ever pretended he was Don Knotts, but many pretended to be Clint Eastwood.
You know nothing Jon Snow.
If he thinks portraying this character is unethical, he should quit his job.
And return his earnings to date. They are tainted.
but shows about incest, murder, and fornication teach them... what exactly, Hollywood?
Good point. Surely the kind of man Kit Harington wants to portray wouldn’t take dirty money for corrupting youth. He would live in a tent and eat beans if there were no admirable way to earn a better living.
That human life is immediately and ultimately meaningless, and that the best way to live is to acquire power to use others, and especially the power to f*** what you want when you want to with no consequences to you.
“...toxic masculinity in the #MeToo era.”
This sentence is ripe with faggotry.
Civilization is teetering on the precipices of a Muslim apocalypse — and this clown wants the young men to become effeminate?
Gee...maybe he should donate his earnings from playing macho to #metoo
hmmm...didn’t think so.
Iron my shirt, John Snow.
I stopped watching when they decided to put George Bush’s head on a stake.
Now I truly believe Winter is Coming.
I saw the highly touted Kit Harington in a movie once (MI5) and was a bit surprised at his lack of machismo.
Looks like his men had it right.
