Playing Jon Snow is serious business, apparently. Kit Harington, the breakout star of the HBO TV series "Game Of Thrones," told Metro in a candid interview that he has misgivings entering a contract that obliges him to keep his raven black mane long for the duration of the massively successful HBO fantasy drama, stating in hindsight, that maybe going "method" with his acting was a bad idea.

"How the f**k did they do that? I screwed myself over there," he said.

According to Metro, the 28-year-old English actor came forth with the admission after fellow actress Natalie Dormer, who plays wordly queen-to-be Margaery Tyrell on the hit show, called Harington an "idiot" for opting to wear his hair naturally, because because she and additional female cast members had chose to don wigs instead. That choice certainly helped Dormer land the part of Cressida in the two-part finale of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay" films.

"I don't want the bother of it all really," Harington said. "If you look a certain way or you have a certain look it dominates what people think you are. So I'll cut it off quite soon. As soon as I'm allowed."

Noting the attention his hair receives from doting fans, Harington stated: "I find it endlessly fascinating that people find it endlessly fascinating. What was nice was doing the transformation for this piece, and knowing that while I have to have this appearance I can alter it up, like in this with a wig that works."

Last seen on the silver screen as the protagonist in this year's "Pompeii," Harington will hit theatres in a live-action feature film adaptation of Vera Brittain's memoir "Testament of Youth," a First World War period drama scheduled for release in January. In that film, Harington had to hide his legendary black tresses under a shaggy wig.

Nevertheless, provided rumors are true that showrunners of the occult series -- based on George RR Martin's bestselling "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels -- may schedule a seventh season, Harington may be sporting his signature look for some time, provided his critically acclaimed character isn't killed off.

Beginning in April 2015, the show which has been renewed for a fifth and sixth season, "Game Of Thrones" returns to HBO.
