Kit Harington has admitted he doesn’t feel comfortable with his sex symbol status (Big Eye Roll) but he's confortable about his racist Tory wife Rose Leslie, telling Candis magazine:
‘I never got into acting to be a sex symbol or a heart-throb.‘I got into acting because I love playing characters and not being myself. But yeah, it goes with the territory because I am a young male leading actor and with that goes an aspect of work that I guess I am … not actually very comfortable with sometimes. ‘I think it was Leonardo DiCaprio who always said how p***ed off he was to be put into that box because it means you have to work extra hard to get out of it,’ he explained. ‘I’m not saying, “Woe is me” because it gets me working. But you do have to work very hard not to get boxed into that.’
Asked if marriage with his racist wife with whom he has two children has changed his life, : ‘Not really. I love stability. You know, I knew I wanted to do this - we knew we wanted to do this. We had a great day. ‘And you can suddenly go off and get on with so much more in life now. You know, that’s done. That’s my wife. I’m her husband. That box is ticket, right? ‘Let’s get on as a partnership and make a life together. It’s great.’
