In an interview on James Corden’s Late Late Show, Harington talked about his bond with Sheeran, reports metro.co.uk.

He said: “We had an odd first meeting - I was in a men’s urinal taking a p*** and sometimes a guy comes up to you next to you and does a double take while you’re taking a p*** and then he looks back forward and then he looks at your todger and then he looks back at you and says are you Jon Snow? That was Ed Sheeran.”

Asked how he had reacted, Harington said: “Well, I nearly said f*** off mate but it was Ed Sheeran and now we’re friends.”
