The epic battle between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton is over with latter's brutal defeat in the "Game of Thrones" Season 6 episode 9 titled "Battle of the Bastards." However, there is one thing that Jon Snow actor Kit Harington will remain ashamed of, probably for the rest of his life.
During the battle, Harington is seen punching Ramsay Bolton actor Iwan Rheon several times on his face. In the scene, Jon Snow tackles Ramsay Bolton to the Winterfell courtyard ground and begins punching him continuously.
While filming the scene, Harington accidentally punched poor Rheon two times on his face. That must have hurt, but Rheon took the punches in a sporty manner to culminate the entire scene into an exciting, poignant and a horrible episode.
"I actually did punch Iwan in the face twice by accident," Harington said, Mashable reports. "Which he took really well. He was really nice about it. I had to buy him a pint after that one."
It would be an understatement to say that Harington did really go for the scene when it was about punching his enemy on the show, Ramsay Bolton. Though the scene was not surprising at all, the fact that Rheon took it so generously and in a pretty chilled out way came by as a surprise for all.
In fact, Rheon described the entire scene as "good," although he did confess that his jaw hurt a little bit a day after the shoot. However, the 31-year-old actor from Carmarthen, United Kindom did completely understand the fact that it was a mere accident and Harington had no intentions to punch him at all.
The "Battle of the Bastards," which aired July 19, Sunday, had the action which was probably some of the best seen on the small screen so far, according to The Telegraph. If mounds of dead comrades and beheading were not enough, there was Sansa Stark's army who marched in at the right moment to overcome Ramsay Bolton.
At the end of the episode, it was Sansa Stark, who emerged as a strong leader than mud-spattered Jon Snow. She leaves props Ramsay Bolton up on a chair and watches him with introspective satisfaction as he is eaten away by his once loyal hounds.
