Kit Harrington wants more gay inclusion!

He knows how to pander to the gays, nothing more.

That's an unflattering pic, OP.

He looks as sexy as Eli Wallach.

Does he know that Richard Madden is gay/bi?

Did he and Richard Madden ever fool around?

[quote] Harington spoke out about the intersection of masculinity and homosexuality in Hollywood.

I’d love to work the intersection of his Kit and caboodle.

Remember when those alleged photos of him with a Russian hooker dropped on the internet from Russian media? She allegedly took pics of him passed out after he got drunk and they did a ton of cocaine. She claimed they were set up by his agent and he bought her gifts.

He had a pretty rough patch there. Hopefully he's staying clean since he went to his "wellness" center back in 2019.

I enjoyed those photos of him adjusting himself in his tight-fittin' jeans.

He never sucked my cock.

The guy who played Schneider? I thought he died.

What is his character in The Eternals? Anyone know?

Dane Whitman(The Black Knight) r9

He looked really cute in Eternals

Thanks, r10! He always looks cute.

Another virtue-signaler.

If he wants to do something for us gays then do full frontal, extended nudity!

Basically all actors are required to issue this press release nowadays.

I never thought I’d see the day when I wish inclusion wasn’t a primary focus. It’s a pendulum that has swung way to far to the left, with every cast of every film looking like a cast equivalent of the Star Wars cantina.

[quote]I enjoyed those photos of him adjusting himself in his tight-fittin' jeans.

Darlin', if you can get a fist in, it ain't tight.

I sat up front at a play of his in the West End a few years ago, and during the brief moment we made eye contact, I nearly drenched my seat.

[quote] Basically all actors are required to issue this press release nowadays

No, those quotes are for diversity, which means more roles for black people.

I just watched him in "The Death and Life of John F. Donovan" a few days ago, in which he played a closeted actor.

He made those comments two months ago, during promo for Eternals. Why is it suddenly appearing in an article today? You should see the actual interview, though. The queenie interviewer was kind of adorable the way he was giggling over Kit's answers. Obviously quite nervous.

R20, he was dreamy in that movie. Loved his make-out scene in the car with Zylka.

He was ripped to shreds over his “I felt like a piece of meat” story which had feminists up in arms. You know, men can’t feel degraded like fish.

wants more gay inclusion ... up his ass?

To paraphrase Tom Hardy: he’s an actor, of course he’s had gay sex

[quote]He looks as sexy as Eli Wallach.

Hubba-hubba!!

Jon Snow was very pretty

[quote] I just can’t help but wonder if he hasn’t dabbled in the past and whether he secretly identifies as bisexual.

I thought that had been established here on DL a while back.

In that marriage he is the more feminine one.

[quote] but I just can’t help but wonder if he hasn’t dabbled in the past and whether he secretly identifies as bisexual.

Silly OP!!!

This is Datalounge!

Any good looking actor who cannot clearly be accused of being gay is assumed to have at least "dabbled in the homosex"

Only the ugly ones are 100% straight

So glad to see that he’s lopped off that unfortunate Jheri curl.

WHY does he always look worried? I get so tired of that expression--his only expression.

Agreed, R31. I think I've seen maybe two photos of him smiling, the rest are nothing but that pussface.

He's going to be hard to cast in the future. He's very pretty and has a great body, but he's quite short and does not have a lot of range.

He has resting sad face.

Yes he does, R34, and I'm not convinced his flabby face is pretty.

He may be OK with the current fashion for long hair and beards but we know that —as night follows day— that will fashion with be replaced by buzz cuts.

His face is not remotely flabby. But some of us aren't looking at the face.

R36, there’s something about the tilt of his ass in that video that looks gay.

Kit Harrington has such a resting sad face, I can’t tell if he’s into this gay scene or if his face looks sad because he’s not enjoying it.

R35 He wasn't allowed to cut it during Game of Thrones:

Buzzcut

[quote]I enjoyed those photos of him adjusting himself in his tight-fittin' jeans.

If you can jam your arm up to your elbow into the front of your jeans, they ain't 'tight-fittin' by any stretch of your imagination.

He is so short. Is that why he seems such a psychological mess?

Pretty pout

Take this with a grain of salt because Deuxmoi doesn’t vet their anons. But one of the anons early on claimed to hook up with Kit and he told her he was bi. The following weekend he allegedly ghosted her and took three guys to his hotel room. Take it with a grain of salt, though.

Funnily enough, with all these mentions of his role in Donovan as a gay actor in the closet, it was during an interview at TIFF in 2018 that he first made the call for not only gay superheroes, but gay actors as superheroes. And then two years later, along comes Eternals with his buddy Madden playing a superhero. You bet he was proud to in the movie. Someone above asked if Kit knows about Richard's boyfriend. Of course he does. As for the two fooling around, there used to be several threads on that possibility here during the early years of Thrones. I remember some poster claiming they had first hand information about just how tight the two were, and that Richard, who was dating Jenna Coleman at the time, would drop everything and run to pick up Kit from the airport or wherever he needed him. They apparently lived next to each other in London for a time.

I'm actually quite disappointed in DL for how little first-hand gossip they have on this guy.

Who will ever forget Leslie Jones having her way with Kit.

As to the reason you don’t see more LGBT inclusion in Marvel movies is they sell that crap all over the world which includes homophobic countries in the Middle East, Russia, etc.. Russia sadly has a law on the books where they can go after television stations what they term “relationships depicting non-traditional family values propaganda.”

They really should've made pouty boy Jon Snow bisexual on GOT

[quote]As to the reason you don’t see more LGBT inclusion in Marvel movies is they sell that crap all over the world which includes homophobic countries in the Middle East, Russia, etc..

They're slowly starting to move away from that.

They took a stand against editing out any "gay" scenes in the Eternals with the exception of countries where ALL intimacy is supposed to be banned from cinema.

I misread the thread title as 'Kit Harrington wants more gay incision', and I'm giggling. Like he's suddenly pro circumcision. Time for my meds, although I think I already took them. Where's that home nurse they were gonna send me?

Comic book fans in general are homophobic.

R44 he needed to do research for his role in "The Death and Life of John F. Donovan" he was fucking hot! Who was the guy he was kissing. They definitely had chemistry. Hot!

He always looks like he sat on a thumbtack.

[quote]and took three guys to his hotel room.

Lol, I remember that anon and it was [italic]two[/italic] guys she claimed he took to his hotel room, not three. Next time this gets mentioned it will probably have grown to a full orgy. However, there was an old interview with Kit in Rolling Stone, I think, where he positively gushed about Berghain in Berlin. He's totally bi.

R52, its Chris Zylka who played his secret boyfriend. He was also in The Leftovers.

R45 = Not funny.

I actually got off on this when it was live, and several times after.

His face looks squashed; he can't open his eyes properly.

He can't grow a moustache.

If he wants to please us he should go gay porn.

I hope he does more gay roles. He has nothing else going on which is interesting.

R54, is Berghain more of a bi club than a straight club?

the last thing i'd want is someone trying to make gay superhero by the standards of today...

unless it's ace and gary or hothead paisan

R48 I wonder what Kit thought of all the "Jon Snow is pretty" lines throughout the show.

I can't get over how short he is.

Can he act?

Pretty lad

Rose Leslie is so masculine. I wonder the dynamics in that relationship.

R63 He doesn't like getting objectified!

[quote]“I found it unfair, really, some of the stuff I read [in response],” he says. “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.”

R61 Berghain was a gay techno club, now it's filled with lots of straights curious in the notoriety surrounding it. It's still mostly guys though and a lot of gay sex goes on in the back/dark rooms.

R66 Not really, he was very good as moody Jon Snow (thanks to his resting sad face) but he's very much a one-note actor.

A perpetually morose man, sad someone ate his tuna sandwich.

[quote]He has nothing else going on which is interesting.

Okay, I'll put in my two cents and admit that I like him, so I have taken note of his projects. I thought his Modern Love episode was enjoyable (the John Carney-directed one for S2). During his press junket for that he did mention upcoming things but he seems to have taken a laid back PR approach with projects, where they don't get a notice in Deadline until they're almost done filming. He was in NY over the summer filming two things, a film upstate and then a series for Apple that features about a dozen big names - including Meryl! - while his wife was filming that Time Traveler's Wife series for HBO.

There was also an interesting notice about him doing an Englishman-in-LA-noir type story that he's starring in and producing with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's production company. There's nothing else about it confirmed anywhere else, but Kit was seen walking the streets of New York with actor Tim Daly, which seemed like a very odd pair. Seems like they might have been working on something together.

He'll also be playing Henry V in the West End come February. That is if the West End hasn't closed down by then.

Kit was hanging out with Tom Daly!? What does Dustin Lance Black think about that!?

Is his name actually Kit or is it one of those cutesy stage names? Is his twin brother Kat?

His name is Christopher Catesby Harington. So Kit is a nickname for his middle name.

Please don't reply, r75, if you don't know what you're talking about.

Thanks.

He's so short he's almost a "little person". Do you think all his mental health and emotional problems derive from that? Is their kid going to look like him or her?

R75 I'm embarrassed for you.

[quote]He's so short he's almost a "little person". Do you think all his mental health and emotional problems derive from that?

[quote]He is so short. Is that why he seems such a psychological mess?

Let it go, R42/77. You sound like the one with the mental health issues. He's 5'6'. I'm 5'5'. Should I kill myself? Its kind of ridiculous your insistence that its the root of all his problems.

Wiki tells us that Kit is usually an abbreviation of the given names Christopher and similar names.

One famous one was Christopher Sebastian "Kit" Lambert (1935 – 1981) manager of The Who.

He's starting to bear a remarkable resemblance to Will Wheaton. This is not a good thing......

The alcohol problems outed him as gay. Classic. Same for Affleck.

R80, I thought since his middle name was “Catesby,” I thought it was a nickname for that, sort of like Kit could be a nickname for Katherine.

[quote] He's 5'6'. I'm 5'5'. Should I kill myself?

Oh dear. It's a thought. Have you considered transitioning so you can wear very tall high heels?

[quote] Its kind of ridiculous your insistence that its the root of all his problems.

Psychiatrists can spend months to unravel the unconscious anxieties of their patients. But sometimes the answer can be as obvious as the nose on your face— or as short as your legs.

Well, there'll always be another Willow remake where he can play the lead.

Before shooting the GOT pilot:

This sounds like a PR statement.

I know he makes a lot of you wet in the knickers but I never once believed he was gay or even bi. As pretty as he is, I'm sure he has had many opportunities to go down that road.

He has some serious mental health issues though. I think that, more than anything else, may make him hard to cast in the future. We'll see.

Oh dear, R87. Did he get a bad tuna sandwich?

[quote] He has some serious mental health issues though

What sort?

R90, probably chronic depression, based on his resting sad face.

R90 See the link below

Yes, he aways looks sad.

(I haven't seen any of that Thrones show)

Off the top of my head maybe drugs and/or alcohol and weren't there some Russian hookers? Or did I imagine that? LOL!

I think the substance abuse may be self-medicating cause he seems like a troubled person - maybe depression or other mental health issues. But you know he's probably discussed it all in some confessional article I missed - I never watched GOT so I didn't know who he was and only glimpsed him in tabloids.

Oh look as I was typing someone came to your rescue see above R93. His mental health issues do not come from being in a TV show. That's a cover.

R94, his mental health issues are likely due to being stuck in the closet! He wants to break free!

From the article at R92 - “I went through some mental health difficulties after ‘Thrones,’ and during the end of ‘Thrones,’ to be honest,” Harington confirmed to SiriusXM host Cagle. “I think it was directly due to the nature of the show and what I had been doing for years.”

What he'd been doing for years - namely the binge drinking and coke. Do enough of that for a decade and it will catch up with you. I don't think he was alone with such addictions on that set but he seemed the most visibly messy.

[quote]I think the substance abuse may be self-medicating cause he seems like a troubled person

He did confess he was suicidal in the London Times interview he did this year and has admitted to depression in the past.

He's not gay - the guy slept with a ton of women in my area - but I do believe he's bi. He looked very relaxed and laughed a lot on the Eternals press junket so it seems he's gotten over his demons. Or is at least sober. Probably has a good therapist these days.

{quote]He's not gay - the guy slept with a ton of women in my area

You observed this first-hand?

I don't give a shit about gay inclusion in these movies. I don't want to see them and the emotionally stunted people who go to see them don't want to see gay superheroes.

One of my favorite shots from GOT. So many hot actors in that show. I’m sure Theon was a little plaything to the young lords as their fathers squire.

Is he back on the booze again?

R103 That scene was hot. "Jon’s never met a girl he likes better than his own hair."

He does have mental health issues for sure. After the Russian model photos leaked his team successfully blamed the substance abuse and mental health issues on the end of GOT.

The devil works hard but his PR team works harder.

Personally I think Rose Leslie can do better. She’s apparently forgiven all the cheating and stuff.

R94 I agree that his mental health issues were not solely based on the show. He is a liar, but of course, addicts lie. Thousands of people worked on GOT and none of them had a major mental breakdown from doing their job. Mental health issues are complicated and there can be a number of triggers and sources of it (including job pressure) but it seems dumb to blame your best work if you want to continue being an actor. I am sure drugs and alcohol contributed to his poor mental health, but every addict is not depressed and/or suicidal. My point is that this guy is pretty messed up and probably for a lot of reasons. I am happy that he has been sober for a couple years now, and I hope he continues on that road, but those problems don't just go away and it is going to take a lot to keep him on track. His recovery is one day at a time.

R106 I feel sorry for Rose Leslie. He thinks he hid all his shit from her (and everyone). She probably literally said to him: "You know nothing Kit Harington."

Another interview revealed the following:

[Quote]Harington hid what was going on from those closest to him, including his wife and GOT costar Rose Leslie.

He is talking about his mental issues now in a desperate attempt to save his career. But it is interesting how he still doesn't want to call a thing a thing. He doesn't want to admit to being a junkie. Drugs and alcohol makes ANY mental health issue worse since they are by definition mind altering.

[Quote]Harington finally received treatment for substance abuse (“mainly alcohol”) and “behaviors” at an in-patient facility in Connecticut. He said that, due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), he was also engaging in repetitive behaviors to the point that they became debilitating.

He has admitted to the drugs without specifically saying it. He has been doing a lot of PR because his problems have been public. A lot of people knew. He HAD to speak out.

I don't think he is gay or bisexual, but I also don't doubt that he could have done ANYTHING while high and out of his mind.

He said he hid his substance abuse issues from everyone. That's a blatant lie. I'm sure EVERYONE close to him knew he was an addict and HE KNOWS THEY KNEW. How can you admit that your issues were "debilitating" but nobody knew about them?

Likewise a lot of people would know if he was gay since his inhibitions would be lowered if he was walking around high all the time.

He is now talking about his drug use because he knows if he doesn't, others will. The same goes for homosexuality. If he was gay or bi he'd talk about it to get ahead of the story. He could easily admit to doing some "gay" things while stoned out of his mind and not fully cop to being gay. For an actor today, being a junkie needing hospitalization is far worse for a career than sucking some dick.

If I was a movie producer I'd certainly consider him for a role since he is talented and has a good resume and huge following. But if I could get someone without his baggage and still get the same (or better) result from my project I'd go with that other person and avoid this mess. I like him and wish him well, but these mental health issues (regardless of the source) will follow him the rest of his life.

R101 The funniest thing about him getting kicked out of the NYC bar is that him "acting drunk" was far more convincing than anything he did on GOT and he wasn't even trying! LOL

[quote] ...but I do believe he's bi

On what do you base this, R96?

I've heard people compare his melancholy face with that of Alan Bates' from half a century ago.

But his professional career doesn't compare.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R112 is he bloated from Cocaine, alcohol, weight gain? What are your thoughts? Just curious.

Kit was such a mess a couple of years ago.

R103 & R105, yeah, those scenes in the first episode of the 3 guys together were hot. It's a shame that scenes like that didn't happen again.

Outside the regular PR promotion of a recent project, well-meaning PR is mostly used to cover up or distract from unwanted media attention or to put a spin on it (like Matt Damon did with the pro-gay declarations).

R113 Coke bloat

R115 GOT had so many naked girls in every episode but barely any naked guys, sadly. Kit did show his cheeks a few times. Short guys usually have great asses.

[quote]his team successfully blamed the substance abuse and mental health issues on the end of GOT.

Mental health is a wide net these days and is a lot more palatable to use than 'messy drunk', but being an alcoholic and an addict can stem from many things. Over the years, he has talked about being an anxious person.

The headline that every outlet ran with that Thrones was the reason for his issues was obviously clickbait and had nothing to do with his PR, but 'directly due to the nature of the show' can mean many many things. Kit has never shown a willingness to throw the show or its creators under the bus before and has been particularly positive about it after all the backlash. It sounded like he was just being as general as he possibly could about the matter. I don't doubt his team was ready for certain questions after he resurfaced for the Modern Love press. Yeah, he didn't want to name anything. But at the time of him being found out in rehab in the States and the subsequent statements from his publicist, I remember there were a lot of "sources" coming out of the woodwork, being cited about how depressed Kit had been towards the end of filming. I have some friends who knew people on the crew who did say it was known Kit was pretty depressed around that time, that he also tended to drink till he passed out in the evenings. Security for the hotel the cast stayed at had to carry him up to his room on more than one occasion. It was also known he had been to rehab before, specifically after he shattered his ankle right before filming S3. He's said in the past that he struggles with the fame aspect of it, so that may have contributed to the 'nature of the show' being part of the reason he drank so much. Kit was definitely a big partier, but to an OTT degree. Bartenders in Belfast hated him. You can read a lot of very messy Kit stories on reddit. He really seemed to loathe being in Belfast by the final season.

However, the nude photos seemed to be a serious wake up call. I'm sure he and his team knew they were coming, before the Russian model released them on twitter. I suspect that his addictions spread to more than booze and coke. I do hope he has found sober living to be better. No matter how forlorn his natural expression may appear, he does come across as much more chill in recent interviews. He and Chloe Zhao were very funny with each other on the Eternals junket. And I for one think he looks more attractive now than he's ever been.

Who cares?

R120 I'll start caring when he can sustain his career of being a movie star/actor/sex symbol for a decade like Alan Bates did.

R118 There was plenty of male nudity ... but they mostly just gave us ass. There was a lot of full frontal nudity of the women.

I remember seeing Theon's dick though - before it got chopped off. 🤪 It was long and skinny. LOL Does anyone know if it was a prosthetic?

R122, I think Alfie Allen showed his real uncut cock:

R123 I thought so. It wasn't ridiculously big like Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights or Adam Demos in Sex/Life. Both of them wore prosthetics.

Alfie Allen's is a decent size though especially since his frame is so small.

They do not introduce you to their friends when you are out and about.

R125 wrong thread. Oops

Jon should've hooked up with Tormund. They had more chemistry than Jon and Daenerys.

R127 Tormund loved and trusted Jon Snow a lot - I don’t like how they made Tormund the comic relief in the last two seasons though. Tormund called Jon pretty several times and even ”my little crow”. What could’ve been!

Size difference

R127 That would have been great to watch!

.....

^ He looks as dough-faced as the late Dylan Thomas.

Kit looks good there r132.

Has he done a nude scene recently?

I don't think he's done any since S7 Thrones, unless he did a nude scene in Eternals and it ended up on the cutting room floor. I did see him onstage a month ago, although, sadly, he was fully dressed. But my goodness did he fill out that snug tee shirt in a very pleasing way. He is ridiculously attractive up close.

Never found him that attractive although he looked ripped in that rubbish Pompei movie.

I know this is an old thread now but one of the big problems with not including masculine gay characters in superhero films (which I love btw) being played by actual gays is there's just not that many 'household name' superheroes who are anything other than straight. I'm not a complete comic book nerd but I am familiar and the only ones I can immediately think of are Wiccan, Hulkling, and Northstar for Marvel, and Midnighter & Apollo for DC. None of those are household names, and would not be able to carry a franchise independently (although a film of The Authority, the supergroup that Midnighter/Apollo belong to, would be awesome).

Technically, Deadpool is meant to be pansexual but they've done nothing with that in the three movies (X-Men Origins, Deadpool and Deadpool 2) he's so far appeared in - plus, he's played by Ryan Reynolds who can be camp but is not gay).
