SPOILER ALERT: Jon Snow’s ultimate fate in Game of Throneshas been a closely guarded secret, but in a new interview with Jimmy Fallon, actor Kit Harington revealed how he spilled the beans to one lucky stranger to dodge a speeding fine!
Kit – aka Jon Snow – opened up about the encounter during an interview on The Tonight Show. The 29-year-old, who’s dating Game of Thrones co-star Rose Leslie, said he had been forbidden to let anyone else know about what was in store for his character.
However, when he was pulled over for speeding by a policeman who happened to be a fan of the show, Kit confessed to blabbing about the big secret.

The long-locked actor revealed: “[The policeman] said, ‘There’s two ways we can do this. You can either follow me back to the police station now and I book you in or you can tell me whether you live in the next season of Game of Thrones.'”
Kit says his initial response to the bizarre request was to laugh, but it turned out the cop was very serious indeed.
“He says, ‘I have to tell you whether I take you into the police station depends on what your answer is.'”The actor then revealed his character’s fate and was ushered on with an “On your way, Lord Commander”, after being told to keep his speed down “this far south of the Wall”.
Kit says he was implored to tell no one of what happened after a dramatic season finale that saw his character meet a seemingly grizzly end. Which of course meant he told his parents, and his girlfriend Rose. And the policeman, of course.
We hope Kit isn’t going to get in trouble for this cheeky revelation!
