Game of Thrones star Kit Harington’s hair is somewhat of a star in its own right, with memes and a Twitter account devoted to the actor’s long locks.

“I didn’t realize this until recently and then I kind of, I wanted to cut it — I’ve had long hair for ages — and they were like, ‘No, no, no, that won’t be happening.’”
The requirement has since led to “ridiculous conversations … between agents and managers and HBO,” Harington said.
