Shirtless Kit Harington Flaunts Chiseled Abs & Toned Physique Backstage Leaving Fans Breathless

Kit Harington, best known for his role as Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, showed off his toned physique backstage at the West End production of Slave Play. Playwright Jeremy O. Harris shared a candid photo of Harington on Instagram, capturing the actor sporting his perfect six-pack while preparing for an IV drip in the dressing room of London’s Noël Coward Theatre.

The 37-year-old actor was seen standing in gray joggers, holding what seemed to be an empty coffee cup. Unaware of Harris’s intention to post the picture online, Harington might be in for a surprise. Harris, 35, humorously noted on his Instagram Story, “Kit’s gonna kill me for posting this. Share it so he will forgive me.”

The snapshot quickly garnered attention on social media, with fans resharing it on X and expressing their admiration. One enthusiastic fan commented, “KIT HARINGTON, I HAVE NO WORDS,” while another added, “Oh, I’m going to London.”

Despite the buzz, it’s unlikely Harington will see the photo soon as he does not have any social media accounts. Harris also posted several behind-the-scenes images from the Tony-nominated play, including moments with the cast and pop icon Madonna.

Harington has been playing the role of Jim in Slave Play since late June. Before joining the play, he was worried that his fame from Game of Thrones might take attention away from the play’s ensemble cast. Harris recalled in an interview with The Guardian that Harington wanted to avoid being the center of attention. “Kit was saying ‘I don’t want this to be ‘Kit Harington in Slave Play, this is an ensemble play, and I’m not even the lead,'” Harris said

Harris, who wrote Slave Play while at Yale School of Drama, has stood by his decision to cast Harington, praising the production’s success. “It’s been a blessed few weeks,” he shared on social media. “This has been a once in a lifetime experience; can’t wait to do it again.”

In a 2012 exclusive video with uInterview, Harington explained the main characteristic he shared with his Silent Hill character, Vincent. “I’m terrified of medical procedures. Syringes, operations, so that whole element of the film of lobotomy or being wheeled on a gurney, that wasn’t hard to be scared of because I find that freaky in everyday life,” Harington said. “I don’t have medical procedures every day, but generally, I don’t like that kind of aspect of life.”
