Kit Harington: Wigging it to protect Jon Snow's hair

There's always lots of talk about Kit Harington's long curly hair, which he's contractually obliged to have to play Jon Snow in Game of Thrones.

In his latest film Testament Of Youth, it's short and straight. So Kit turned to a wig.

"It was one of those things I was quite concerned about, We knew we couldn't cut my hair because it was close to the filming of Thrones so we wigged it.

"It was done really well by a really good guy and it didn't distract because it can be one of those things that really takes away from a performance if there's a wig that looks wrong."
