Kit Harington would like to set the record straight.
In March, at a Hollywood Foreign Press Association conference, the Game of Thrones actor mentioned that it was “demeaning” to be called a hunk. What surprised him, though, was the media’s reaction to it.
“I found it unfair, really, some of the stuff I read [in response],” the actor admits in Out’s “Hot List” issue. “I was making a point, which was that I think young men do get objectified, do get sexualized unnecessarily. As a person who is definitely in that category, as a young leading man in this world, I feel I have a unique voice to talk about that. I was making a point to sort of say, ‘It just needs to be highlighted.’ With every photo shoot I ever go to, I’m told to take off my shirt, and I don’t.”
