Actor Kit Harington, for instance, has recently revealed that he will chop his hair short after shooting for GoT is over. With filming for the final season of the fantasy series entering its last weeks, Harington has expressed his wish to cut his signature long hair.

"I'd like to step away and enjoy the obscurity, cut my hair, make myself less recognisable as the character and go do and some other things with a completely new look and tone," the British star expressed.

Harington gained a lot of popularity for playing Jon Snow across eight seasons of the show. So, how short exactly will he go? "Short-short," is how he described it. "The beard will be harder to get rid of - I quite like the beard."
