CNN: Is your name really Kit?

Harington: It’s my name. It’s short for Christopher. I didn’t know my name was Christopher until I was 11. I went to school, you do these exams and I put down Kit Harington and the teacher said, “That’s not your name,” and I said, “Yeah I think I’d know my own name!” They were like, “No no your name is Christopher.” I was a bit pissed off with my mum. You didn’t tell me my name till I was 11!
