Celebrities like Kit Harington are just like normal employees that have the tendencies be burned out on a stressful and demanding work environment. Despite the successful start and end of the hit series Game of Thrones were Kit Harington plays the lead role, the pressure of his character was undeniably visible now that the show has ended.
The consequences eventually have led him to checked into rehab to get treatment for his stress and alcohol abuse problems.
In a recent report, Kit Harington will be using an ample time for a break after the TV show wrapped up its final season a week ago. The actor's decision was already confirmed by his rep and further explained that Harington has struggled with the pressure that came with the huge success of the HBO production.
With the finale episode released last May 19, a source claims that Kit Harington was "hit hard" by the realization that the show has already ended.
Furthermore, Kit Harington already revealed in a previous interview that he resorted to therapy after learning about the fate of his character on the show. The actor who played Jon Snow felt "exhausted" when his character died and came back.
And with that, Harington became alcoholic and stressed, following the recent interview of his character as it becomes the "cliffhanger" of the TV show, and that TV show became a great hit.
While audiences or viewers may not relate to the pressures of a celebrity, it is good to note and compare the scenario of an actor, who was given a very challenging role and an employee who was given a big project to complete. The situations are similar to the extent that these personalities are but humans who are naturally competitive and wanted to show more, to prove more.
But in the end, the pressure reached them to a certain height that they cannot manage anymore. Fortunately for Kit Harington, he resorted immediately to check into a wellness retreat, equipped with psychological coaching and behavioral therapy, the clinic located at Prive-Swiss in Connecticut.
As expected, after the grueling schedule of working on a hit TV series like Game of Thrones, the actors are now on break, while Harington has opted to spend it "at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues."
Some new source claims that Kit Harington has been in rehab for almost a month now, which means he checked in weeks ahead of the show's finale on May 19. However, the How to Train Your Dragon star already admitted in an interview piece in March that he had begun therapy two seasons ago.
