In a surprising twist, Kit Harington, known for his iconic role as Jon Snow, took the stage as the host of SNL last night, shedding his beloved beard in the process. The result? A wave of shock and amusement swept across social media as fans grappled with the sight of a beardless Harington.
During his opening monologue, he humorously addressed the elephant in the room: “Now that I’ve shaved my beard, I look like a creepy, prepubescent version of Jon Snow,” Harington joked. “This is Jon Snow if he suddenly decided to play for the Yankees… I’m not quite sure what that means, but the writers told me to say it!” The audience could hardly contain their laughter at his transformation, with many viewers feeling a sense of nostalgia for the rugged character they had grown to love.
As I watched, I couldn’t help but feel something was off; it was as if I needed my glasses to see clearly. Harington appeared nearly unrecognizable without his facial hair—he even looked a decade younger. The highlight of his monologue, however, came when his former Game of Thrones co-stars, Emilia Clarke, John Bradley, and his wife, Rose Leslie, made guest appearances. They playfully interrogated him about the show’s secrets, all while pretending to be oblivious to how it all wraps up. “How soon can you grow that beard back?” Rose quipped, eliciting laughs from the audience.
The internet’s response was swift and varied. While some can effortlessly change their looks with haircuts, Harington’s transformation sparked a flurry of opinions. Fans were taken aback by his hairless visage, which coincidentally had significantly shorter curly locks as well.
Of course, it’s worth noting that Kit Harington boasts a handsome face, regardless of how much hair he chooses to sport. The shift in his appearance was simply jarring, leaving many fans clamoring for the return of his signature beard. It’s likely that the decision to shave was strategic, allowing him to adapt more easily to the diverse characters he portrayed during the show. A beard would have blurred the lines between sketches, making it hard for viewers to separate the actor from his iconic role.
Mark your calendars—the final season of Game of Thrones is set to premiere just one week from tonight, and it promises to be filled with all the drama, dragons, and, of course, the return of Jon Snow and his beloved beard.
