Kit Harington feels "very lucky" to be married to Rose Leslie

He told Mr. Porter: "We're very loving and tactile, and we make sure we tell each other that we love each other. Rose is just the most genuine soul. I'm very, very lucky. I really am. And Rose was there through all of the hard stuff, and she's been through some journeys with me. But it has truly worked out."

He went on to talk about the couple's children revealing he's pleased to have started a family in his 30s.

Kit said: "They're both awake to the world and they're kind. They are all I want from my children. I have been blessed with two who have both those attributes in spades.

"Fatherhood happened at just the right time. And I think I'm good at being a dad. My son was born when I was 34 and I realised the other day that when he's 20, I'll only be 54. That's not so old.

"I'm in a weird moment in my life where, at 39, I'm the same age my mum was when she had me. And I'm in charge of these two.

"I'm midway through my life. You used to think of your parents' lives before you came along as being this thing that stretched back to ancient times, but at this point, I'm like, no, it really didn't. I feel like I've hardly started. I feel very grounded. And I'm beating myself up less about stuff."

Kit went through some tough times after shooting to fame in Games of Thrones, struggling with addiction issues and spending time in rehab before getting sober.

In an interview in 2021, the actor admitted he battled feelings of shame before embracing change.

He told The Sunday Times newspaper: "Things that have happened to me since Thrones ended, and that were happening during Thrones, were of a pretty traumatic nature and they did include alcohol.

"You get to a place where you feel like you are a bad person, you feel like you are a shameful person. And you feel that there's no way out, that's just who you are. And getting sober is the process of going: 'No, I can change.' "

In a later interview with GQ Hype Kit admitted he is glad he ditched alcohol before he started a family, saying: "I was so lucky I got sober before having kids ...

"The very fact that I can be proud of it is an achievement. Because before getting sober, I would stare in the mirror and call myself a c***. I'd hate myself.

"I would literally despise myself and not be proud of anything I'd done. I couldn't be proud.

"So the fact that I am proud of getting sober is in and of itself a mark of being an entirely different person."
