‘Marrying an actor helps and doesn’t’
Game of Thrones star Kit Harington thinks being married to Rose Leslie is “great”.
Asked if marriage has changed his life, Harington told Empire magazine: “Not really. I love stability. You know, I knew I wanted to do this — we knew we wanted to do this. We had a great day.”
“And you can suddenly go off and get on with so much more in life now. You know, that’s done. That’s my wife. I’m her husband. That box is ticked, right? Let’s get on as a partnership and make a life together. It’s great.”
The 32-year-old star said the fact both he and Rose are actors can be hard on their relationship because they have to spend so much time apart — but it can also be beneficial because they understand their work commitments.
He said, “It does and it doesn’t (help marrying another actor). I won’t say too much about us because I feel that I’m interviewing as me and I can’t speak for her.
“But it does and it doesn’t. You’re away from each other a lot because you are both in the business. But you do understand why you are away a lot, because you are both in the business,” he shares.
The Pompeii (2014) actor also said he looks towards his wife for career advice.
You’re away from each other a lot (as an acting couple) because you are both in the business. But you understand why [that is so], because you are both in the business.
