Presenter Accidentally Calls Kit Harrington ‘Jon’ During Interview

And he was mortified!

Let’s face it, some people will never escape their stage name.

Carlton from The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Ross from Friends and probably Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. No matter what roles they went on to do or will do in the future the first name that springs to mind when you see them is their character’s name.

Unfortunately for Kit Harrington, that might also be the case. He famously plays Jon Snow in Game Of Thrones and although there’s a question mark about the fate of his character, he still can’t escape being confused with his alter-ego.

BBC presenter Bill Turnball sat through a 7-minute long interview with the star and right at the very end he slipped up and thanked ‘Jon’ for the interview.
