Game of Thrones star, Kit Harington, who played the protagonist Jon Snow, has been reportedly staying at a 'Wellness Center' since wrapping up shooting on the HBO hit show.

Those close to the actor say that his was "hit hard" by the end of the decade-long show.
With the support of his wife, Rose Leslie, who played Yigrette, his on-screen love-interest from seasons 2-4; Harington checked himself into a luxury rehab for stress and alcohol use.

Current activities in his month-long stay at the Connecticut retreat include "undergoing psychological coaching, practicing mindful meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy to combat stress and deal with negative emotions."src

Apparently, the British actor has been having a rough time coming to terms with life after GoT. He told Esquire in April that he broke down after shooting his final scenes as the character.

“The final day of shooting, I felt fine . . . I felt fine . . . I felt fine. . . Then I went to do my last shots and started hyperventilating a bit. Then they called, “Wrap!” And I just f—ing broke down. It was this onslaught of relief and grief about not being able to do this again.” src

Spoiler!!

Perhaps he's crying over how his character was completely useless in the final season. Really didn't care about Jon Snow at all in season 8.. I mean honestly.. ok, wait.. not going to turn this into a rant.. let's just say..

A cardboard cut out of the actor could have sufficed for that final season..

Anyway, I hope that Kit recovers and whatnot, but it doesn't seem like someone this soft is going to be able to hack it in Hollywood. Man up!

I wonder how he's going to feel when it's time to pay the bill for his therapeutic sojourn into a lush facility which costs over $120,000 a month..

I guess working on something for 8 years and then ending it the way it ended would break even the strongest of us.

It must be difficult, but tough lessons are a great opportunity for personal growth. Kit should be out there leveraging his clout and facial recognition for more movie deals or possibly another TV show, not hiding under a rock.

I assume as a breakout debut actor at 22 years old, and this being all he's known for the last 10 years, will make the transition harder.. The industry is not known for being gentle.

But yeah, in Harington's own words, GoT's ending was a huge 'disappointment'..

hehe, yeah, I saw the interview where he said it.

I guess he's taking a vacation just like Jon Snow went to live past the wall.

haha, love it!
