When asked about whether or not, as an actor, he feels "under pressure" from the avid (and occasionally slightly obsessive) Game of Thrones fanbase, Harington said: "The only thing I get p--sed off about is that, as far as George RR Martin goes, there's a lot of fan pressure on him – a lot of nasty, manipulative, quite vicious fan pressure that's aimed towards him, about his health, and about when he is producing the next book. I get quite angry about that."
