Kit Harington Credits Rose Leslie for Steadying His Recovery as Fatherhood Keeps Him Grounded

In a new Mr Porter interview, the actor says coming home to his two children after heavy filming kept him grounded.

Overview

  • He calls their eight-year marriage loving and tactile, saying Leslie was "there through all the hard stuff" and that it has "truly worked out."
  • He says fatherhood arrived at the right time, feels confident as a dad, and describes his children as kind and "awake to the world."
  • During a heavy season of HBO's Industry, he filmed in Cardiff while Leslie worked in Stratford, so he took the kids and found the darkness lifted when he got home.
  • He has been open about alcohol and depression, entered rehab, and credits Leslie’s support in his sobriety while reflecting on the hard work of recovery in his latest remarks.
  • He has previously said his children will likely avoid watching Game of Thrones or their parents’ on‑screen romance.
