Young Kit Harington Is the Human Embodiment of the Heart Eyes Emoji

After eight years, HBO's Game of Thrones is finally coming to an end, and while we're excited to see how the epic story finally ends, we're also pretty bummed that we won't be seeing some of our favorite stars on our screens as regularly. There's no doubt that Kit Harington, who plays the heroic Jon Snow, has been one of the breakout stars (and breakout heartthrobs) of the series. Harington hasn't announced his next project after he departs Westeros β€” although we've got some ideas on what he should do next! β€” but we have no doubt we'll be seeing him in something again very soon. In the meantime, take a look back at a younger Harington when he was just starting out on his Game of Thrones journey!
