Since laying down his sword in Game of Thrones, Kit Harington has continued to fight battles. The actor opens up about beating alcohol addiction and depression – and surviving the first fatiguing months of fatherhood.
He had no idea how demanding

shortly before he wakes his six-month-old baby, Kit Harington rings his mother
to express thanks for all she and his dad did for him.
“I can’t believe I took them for granted like that. I look at our boy and I’m, like, ‘I’m never going to get the thanks I deserve for changing all these nappies and looking after you!’ ”
