Kit Harington and Jon Snow Reunion Ends Seven-Year Silence

Kit Harington and Peter Dinklage reunited for the first time in seven years, bringing Jon Snow back into the same conversation with the actor who helped launch him. The meeting came after Game of Thrones ended in 2019, and it turned into a blunt look at sobriety, aging and what came after Westeros.

Dinklage opened with, "Let’s embarrass the fuck out of each other." Harington, now 39 years old, said his first-ever scene on camera was with Dinklage and recalled, "I’ve just got to be really still. That’s acting for cameras. To be as still as I possibly can be, then say my lines, then go back to stillness."

Game of Thrones after 2019

Harington said he was in his 20s when Game of Thrones was becoming successful, and that shift changed the scale of the job while he was still learning how to work on camera. He added, "I knew the letters “HBO” because I knew “The Sopranos.”" Then came the moment when the show’s momentum started to feel bigger than the cast could ignore: "OK, this is good, but it’s getting a bit scary now."

The reunion matters because it brought together two of the show’s most visible figures with enough distance to talk honestly about what the series did to their lives. Harington is now a series regular on HBO's Industry, while Dinklage, 56 years old, recently guest starred in FX's The Lowdown. Their careers have moved on, but the show still frames the conversation around them.

Dinklage and the early years

Dinklage, who earned three Emmys for Game of Thrones, described a very different reality from the younger cast members. "My first kid was born at the end of the second season," he said, then added, "She went to school in Ireland half the year and had an Irish accent."

That kind of split life sat underneath the reunion’s candor. Harington and Dinklage were not revisiting the series as nostalgia bait; they were comparing the strain, timing and personal changes that came with spending the better part of a decade on one show. The distance between 2019 and now gave the exchange its edge.

Harington at 39

Harington’s age, 39 years old, and Dinklage’s 56 years old put the reunion in sharper relief than a routine cast catch-up. They were at different stages when Game of Thrones hit, and that gap came through in the way each described the work, the family changes and the pressure of success.

For readers tracking what this reunion changes, the answer is simple: it does not reopen Westeros, but it does show where two of its defining actors are now. Harington has moved into Industry, Dinklage has kept working across TV, and the conversation left Jon Snow where the character now sits for the actor — as part of a past he can talk about without softening it.
