Theatre putting stickers on phones to stop audience filming star Kit Harington stripping off
Jon Snow actor Kit has just begun a three-month run in Slave Play which features a ten-minute sex scene
A THEATRE is putting stickers on audience members’ phones — to stop them filming Game of Thrones star Kit Harington in the buff.
Stewards also warn punters they face prosecution if they record the Jon Snow actor, 37, during a lengthy nude sex scene.
He has just begun a three-month run in Slave Play alongside Olivia Washington, 33 — daughter of acting legend Denzel — at the Noël Coward Theatre in London’s West End.
It tells the story of interracial couples forced to role play on a pretend slave plantation for relationship counselling.
An insider said: “The sex scene Kit’s in is quite shocking. There are lots of mirrors on stage so the audience can see his tackle from all angles.
“The scene lasts more than ten minutes and bosses seem very concerned about it being recorded and leaked online — hence the stickers.”
He said: “Management really want to protect his modesty so they’ve threatened legal action if anyone is caught filming.
“Kit is a true pro, though, and doesn’t break character when he sheds his clothes.
“He seems to be very comfortable in his own skin.”
The Brit actor, who stripped down and oiled up for 2014 film Pompeii, said previously that he found it demeaning to be labelled a “hunk”.
He said: “It can sometimes feel like your art is being put to one side for your sex appeal. And I don’t like that.”
