Kit Harington’s Abs-olutely Stunning Comeback In “Industry”
“I’ve kind of decided I’m going to be a good little hunk and shut up.” – Kit Harington
Attention all Jon Snow fans! Your favorite brooding hunk is back and hotter than ever in HBO’s hit series, Industry. Kit Harington joins the cast as the manipulative yet charming Sir Henry Muck, CEO and founder of the green energy tech company, Lumi.
In a recent interview with GQ, Harington revealed that he reached out to the show runners to be a part of the series. “That’s always slightly alarming because you walk onto set and you can feel them going, ‘What if he’s not right?’ And you feel the pressure of, ‘What if what I do is not right for them?'” he confessed to GQ’s Sam Parker.
Despite his initial concerns, Harington brings a likeable quality to what could have been a very awful character. He attributes this to having encountered similar personalities in real life.
Industry has quickly become a cult classic, thanks to its generous helpings of drama, sex, drugs, and money. In the season 3 premiere, Harington’s character invites Yasmin (played by Marisa Abela) to a game of handball, though he’s the only one playing shirtless. Clever move, Muck.
“He’s a nuanced character—manipulative yet charming.” – Kit Harington on Sir Henry Muck
While Harington once disliked his “hunk” status, he’s since embraced it after a few run-ins with the media. “If these pictures are anything to go by, Mr Harington, you truly are hunk material,” the actor quipped.
Catch Kit Harington in action on Industry season 3, with new episodes airing weekly on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.
