15 celebs you NEVER knew where shorter than the average person (With Pictures)

7. Kit Harington – 5’8″

Kit Harington’s handsome facial features and long curly black hair has stolen the hearts of women all around the world, unhampered by his below average height of 5’8″. His hair might be his greatest trademark, but did you know that Harington actually wore a wig while filming the first season of HBO’s Game of Thrones? Unfortunately the wig gave him no extra height, and by season two of “GOT”, he grew out his own locks. Harington’s love for theatre started at the age of 14 when he saw Waiting for Godot for the first time. This play greatly influenced his desire to act, and although Harington is most commonly known for his role as Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, he will always consider himself a theatre trained actor.
