Kit Harington Talks Fears About Climate Change's Effects on His Kids: "It's a Regular Conversation"

Just like Jon Snow worried about winter coming for eight straight “Game of Thrones” seasons, Kit Harington is concerned about imminent existentially threatening weather-related events — namely, climate change and the effect it will have on his kids. In a March 15 interview with Entertainment Tonight, the star opened up about his worries about the world his children will inherit, saying that he and wife Rose Leslie often speak about the implications of our rapidly warming world.

“It’s a regular conversation that my wife and I have about our son, and she’s pregnant at the moment, so, for our children’s future. I look at it in some ways like, our parents’ generation were oblivious. We’re becoming very aware,” Harington explained. “And it would be our duty, and my children’s duty to deal with it. It’ll be the great challenge of their generation, but it doesn’t stop at being the challenge of ours as well.”

Currently, Harington is starring in a show called “Extrapolations,” an anthology series that explores the different ways climate change is affecting and will affect human life. The show, which also stars Meryl Streep and Eiza González, premieres on Apple TV+ on March 17.

Harington already shares one child with Leslie, who starred alongside him as the wildling Ygritte on “Game of Thrones.” While his character Jon Snow and Ygritte never have had their chance to try out a life together, in real life, Harington and Leslie tied the knot in a romantic Scottish ceremony in 2018, and they are now expecting their second child. Harington broke the news about his growing family on a Feb. 3 episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” saying that his first child is “about to get the shock of his life.”
