Rose Leslie Clarifies She Actually Still Doesn't Know Ending of 'Game of Thrones'

Imagine you’re Rose Leslie and you meet Kit Harington on the set of Game of Thrones. Then imagine you two fall in love and then get married a couple of years later. Now, fast forward to today, where you’re not on Thrones anymore but your husband still is, and he spoils the ending of the hit show for you.

We all thought this happened to the co-stars-turned-married couple. It was all over the news: one of the most talked about celebrity couples had a row because Harington ruined the ending for Leslie. The Jon Snow actor said it himself earlier this month: “I told my wife last year how it ended, and she wouldn't talk to me for about three days.” But apparently, that’s not how it happened at all.

Leslie has recently come forward about the story that went viral to correct what everyone believed to be true. Apparently, the fight wasn’t about the anticipated Season 8 finale, but rather about the ending of Season 7.

“I genuinely don’t know the ending [of the show],” Leslie told Entertainment Weekly. “He told me the ending of last season and I remember getting a bit uppity about that … He happened to tell me – and this is a spoiler for anybody who hasn’t seen the last season – he happened to tell me that one of the dragons fall into the ice lake, and then we see the dragon being dragged out of the water and the dragon breathes fire — or ice, I can’t quite remember which one it is, I think it’s fire — onto The Wall, and then, of course, that’s when all the [Army of the Dead] can then cross over. So he told me about the dragon and I got rather livid with him, because I said, ‘You weren’t supposed to tell me everything! And that’s a huge piece of information!’ And he’s like, ‘Well, you asked!’ And I was like, ‘I know.'”

The actress added, “To be fair I was probably rather ridiculous in the way I phrased it. I was like, ‘Tell me some things, but don’t tell me other things.’ But I actually don’t know the ending to [the show] because, believe it or not, it’s such a monumental phenomenal show, and I want to be like the rest of the world and watch it in real time and get that build up and anticipation. I want to finally come to the final episode and truly – and I honestly mean this – truly not know which way it goes.”

And as for not speaking with him for three days? “That was an exaggeration,” Leslie said. “I love that he said three days. Look at him trying to get a soundbite. That’s hilarious!”

We’ll all get to see the final season of Thrones when it premieres on April 14, 2019.
