Kit Harington fell asleep as dead Jon Snow on Game of Thrones set

Kit Harington spent so long playing dead in the most recent season of Game Of Thrones he fell asleep on set.

The Brit, who portrays Jon Snow in the fantasy series, spent the first two episodes of the season lying motionless, and admits he was so relaxed he dozed off.

"I was lying down for so many hours for two whole episodes," he told Rolling Stone. "I fell asleep in the middle of a scene and woke up, and you know when you wake up you don't quite know where you are? There's nothing scarier than waking up in the middle of Game Of Thrones world - naked and everyone standing over you.

"You go, 'Oh my God, I've died and I've actually ended up in Westeros!'"
