Popsugar Celebrity Celebrity Facts How Tall Are the Game of Thrones Cast? Kit Harington Wore "High Heels" on Game of Thrones to Appear Taller, and I Feel Lied To 17 April 2019 by Chanel Vargas First Published: 16 April 2019 Image Source: Getty / Mike Marsland A big personality can go a long way in making people think a character on screen is taller and more intimidating than they actually are (I'm looking at you, Arya), but personality alone apparently wasn't enough when it came to Game of Thrones's Jon Snow. In an interview with Esquire, Kit Harington revealed that he wore "high heels" on the show to appear taller, and I slightly feel lied to. During a conversation about his understandably heavy costume, which includes a sword and a large fur coat, Kit said, "I was in f*cking high heels, because I'm short and they need me to look taller than other people, so I'm carrying fifty pounds in high heels. You'd have about a week or two where your body went into shock, going, 'I can't, I'm knackered.'" At 5'8," Kit is a bit shorter than some of his costars, including Sophie Turner, who is 5'9." Still, it looks like his high heels have done their job and helped him fully transform into the King of the North. Wondering how tall the other cast members are? Keep reading to find out!
