Kit Harington Checked Into A Luxury Rehab Facility For Stress And Alcohol
Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has reportedly been in a Connecticut facility for almost a month now
It was reported that the actor has been in a Connecticut health retreat for nearly a month now, checking in before HBO’s “Game of Thrones” recent finale. His representative released a statement saying: “Kit has decided to utilize this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues.”
Other sources say that “The British actor has been undergoing psychological coaching, practicing mindful meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy to combat stress and deal with negative emotions at the facility, which costs over $120,000 a month.” The 32-year-old actor has been in this Connecticut facility for almost a month, and checked in before the series finale. Meanwhile, a friend of the actor added that the end of the decade-long show “really hit Kit hard”:
“He realized ‘this is it — this is the end’, it was something they had all worked so hard on for so many years. He had a moment of, what next? He’s in the clinic predominantly for stress and exhaustion and also alcohol. His wife Rose is being extremely supportive. Everyone close to him really wanted him to get some rest. Right now, he just needs peace and quiet.”
The actor also in an interview back in April that he had a “full-on breakdown” after filming his final scenes for the show, and that he felt he was “being skinned” taking off his Jon Snow costume:
“My 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—-g broke down. It was this onslaught of relief and grief about not being able to do this again. But the weirdest bit was when we came off set and they started taking the costume off and it felt like being skinned … It felt like they were unceremoniously for the last time ripping off this character.”
