Here’s what I love about these photos: EVERYTHING. I love that even at Wimbledon, Kit Harington still has Permanent Sadface. I love that he’s wearing a beautiful suit to watch a summer tennis match. I love that he’s wearing a tie! But most of all, I love that our Sadface Harington still has his Jon Snow Hair.
In case you think I’m just being crazy or nerdy or both, let me just say… other people noticed it too. The internet blew up as soon as these photos of Kit at Wimbledon came out on Thursday. Part of the excitement was simply “Yay, Kit Harington!” But most of the excitement was truly about his hair and how he still hasn’t cut it, despite the fact that Kit swore up and down that Jon Snow is dead and he (Kit) would not be filming anything next season for Game of Thrones. So why – if Jon Snow is deader than dead and Kit is done with Game of Thrones – does Kit still have Jon Snow’s signature hairstyle? IS IT BECAUSE KIT’S HAIR IS MADE OF LIES?
Speaking of conspiracy theories and how Jon Snow’s Hair Knows Nothing, there’s a beautiful and crazy new explanation for why Jon Snow is “dead” but Jon Stark-Targaryen lives. Basically, the explanation come down to “some people think Jon Snow’s eyes changed colors when he was ‘dying’.” As in, Jon Stark has dark brown eyes but as he was bleeding out in the snow, his eyes seemed to turn… Targaryen purple? MTV tried to explain it here. Could be. At this point, I’ll cling to any explanation.

HODOR! DROGON!! WunWun!!!
How am I going to make it to next April?!?!
I know!! Damm you, GOT!!!
We must trust in The Many Faced God, R’hallor, the Drowned God, the Seven, and the Weirwood trees to help us through this difficult time. Winter is coming. It is known.
I think he should play Lord Byron.
I see what you mean, but personally I’d probably just end up watching Johnny Lee Miller’s Byron again 😉
Hahahah The minute I saw these pics pop up yesterday, I immediately hoped that you’d post them today!
This guy needs some happy pills. and if he truly is gone from the show, cut the hair already, like he “said” he was dying to do. He’s either messing with us for attention or they’re all lying their faces off.
He is just sad because winter is coming…
And he never knew his mother.
What about that guy’s hairstyle to the right of him? That ocean-wave-bangs-do? Anyone?
I thought that was just standard issue douche-in-a-suit hair? Non?
The guy to his right is his brother Jack, but what are you asking about the guy’s hairstyle? What about it? Why is it so stupid?
Did I call it stupid? It’s certainly unusual.
It stands up in a big wave, like it is about to crash onto a beach. Very sculptural.
Thank you Lilac, you’re hired. Report to Fashion CSI headquarters at once to receive your badge and blue gloves. If mimif wasn’t MIA all the time, she would be doing orientation.
What’s the pay scale? Is there bacon?
The starting rate is cheez-its and Comet Sophie bonuses. No bacon for new recruits. Don’t get greedy, Lilac!
Cheez-its are good.
what about the lady behind him with, not one, but TWO thumb rings?!?! What?!?!
You’re hired too susie.
That’s Pheobe from Friends level ring commitment right there
Johnny Depp sells the scarves, she sells the rings. Worst middle-age-crisis craft fair booth at Wimbledon.
Hey, Kiddo & everyone; dutifully reporting back from Europe: I don’t know about England, but that dandy wave-like haircut is all the rage here in Italy. Guys between the age of 13 and 30 are LOVING looking like an old barber shop poster; they balance that out with some thuggish ‘tude, and I always kind of expect them to whip out their ciggies from behind an ear and start holding them between index and thumb, hitting them hard with their middle finger to get the ashes to fall off. Sigh.
If you ever arrive from overseas, there is a position awaiting you. To be clear, no first year bacon!
But plenty of Cheez-its!
I’ll take ’em Cheez its; bacon in a year, you say?
And all the Comet Sophies you can drink!
Jon Snow had to die so that his Watch would end and he could leave the wall. He’s too honourable to leave his post – despite being offered legitimacy, Warden of the North, and for love…he stayed true to the Watch.
Now he’s ‘died’ so he can come back and his Watch is over.
Kill the boy and set the man free.
This. He could be “keeping” his hair for the movie Brimstone he just started. But we know he will be back at some point on GOT.
Theory: Sure, Jon Snow’s dead…. But does he STAY dead is the question!! Far too many possibilities for resurrection. He probably won’t be in the next season the same way we didn’t see much of Margery (GOT spelling?) or ANY of Bran and Hodor this season but that’s not to say they won’t be back.
I think we’ll see him in the next season, too. Why else would he still be wearing Samson’s hair? I miss Margery. Her scene’s are always a treat.
He has Crying Resting Face. He always looks on the verge of tears.
I was thinking nerve-damaging skinny jeans, as the culprit.
Are guys still wearing skinny jeans?
I don’t know anything about this guy, I don’t watch Game of Thrones or his films. I’ve only ever seen pictures of him and he always looks miserable.
Does he at least show a more interesting personality in his acting?
I don’t have HBO. My entire perception is based on coverage here, horrible skinny jeans with horizontal stripped shirts, and a lot of lamenting about people calling him a ‘hunk’ and something about hair, hodor and an expired watch, which might be a cheap Timex.
@WinonaRyder…I have not seen all of Kit’s roles but from what I’ve seen, not much more of an interesting personality while acting. Actually comes across personable in live interviews though.
@Winona,
NO! He’s just as boring on the show. He says his lines while looking exactly like the above. I find his portions of the show unwatchable. There is someone named Gilly (can’t remember if its the girl or the boy) and I want them dead so badly. How does one remain so big on an ice wall? Is it the same diet one gets while being stranded (dead) on a Lost island?
GoT is overrated. Its a soap opera for guys (including multiple marriages), which means that between the exaggerated violence you get female nudity. Finally some guys are starting to realize this, because there are grumblings like, ‘something had better happen next season!’ It won’t dude. it won’t.
No one chap my hide for the Lost reference. I didn’t stick with the show after season 2 and even I know how it ended.
Kit is still wearing skinny jeans even if nobody else is
Gilly is a woman. She was large because she was pregnant and now she’s very thin and they have food at the Wall; they aren’t stranded there and they trade with surrounding villages south of the Wall.
Haha. That is it! Crying Resting Face. It’s his default expression.
That moment just before he melts down in a tantrum.
Time for a Zoolander pout-off with Kanye?
I was just about to say the same thing! As someone with resting bitch face, I sympathize.
Oh, should it be Resting Crying Face? Doesn’t look right that way.
Thanks to the girls above re. his acting. I’m a loss as to why he has such a following. He’s cute but seems to have nothing much else going for him. He sounds like a very bland actor too.
I don’t think Jon Targaryen will have purple eyes, even Daenerys and Viserys don’t have purple eyes on the show.
Yeah, and I do not see why revealing his parentage would change Jon’s looks anyway. Most likely this was just a lighting change. But he will be back.
And I think maybe Kit’s mustache contributes to his permanent sad face.
Families in GOT are color-coded by hair. Targaryens have silver hair. Baratheons have black hair – that’s how Ned Stark figured out Joffrey wasn’t really Robert’s. Lannister’s have gold hair – they did have some streaks in Tyrion’s hair early on but gave up on that. Starks have dark hair except for those who resemble Catelyn’s Tully line and those Starks (Sansa) have red hair.
Um . . . maybe he just likes his Jon Snow hair! Living Proof should hire Kit.
While I agree that I don’t see them giving Jon purple eyes in the future, I absolutely did notice that his eyes were getting lighter in that scene. I choose to believe it’s the Targaeryn thing, not a lighting mistake.
He SHOULD keep that haircut, it flatters him.
Even if you die in the GOT world and are revived by magic, nothing about your physical body changes. You end up at the same height, same eye color, same hair color, etc. as the time of death. Yes Jon Snow’s eyes were getting lighter as happens to a certain other Strark when he is leaving his human body to wars into his wolf…hint, hint, hint.
I think show only watchers don’t know the reason most Targs. have the purple eyes and white hair is because they are usually the product of incest so it’s just the same genes being passed along. The Targs. who marry outside of their family can have children of different hair and eye color (due to the Mom) as well as the usual Targ traits. Also there are graves filled with Targs who believed the myth that they are immune to fire. If they light Jon’s body on fire, it will burn to ashes and he will be stuck in the body we warned into. GRRM has said Dany’s immunity to fire was a one time thing with the combination of blood sacrifice and mutual hatching of dragons. Even she isn’t immune to being roasted by fire.
I really want to see 7days In Hell.
That looks fantastic
“And his hair crested like a wave over the ocean floor…”
The long hair means he is lying to everyone, and that he will start filming the next season of GoT very shortly.
I do not read or watch GOT. All I know about it is from what I have seen here and in the media. But can I just say that GRRM thinks up some pretty sweet names for all these characters!!!!
He’s not dead – if he was Kit would have chopped all that hair off, he’s been bitching about wanting to do it for a long time. I think he will make appearances in the next season – maybe in the final episode but he will be back as someone else – i think Jon Snow is dead but as another character who knows.
