Kit Harington no longer knows nothing about his own hotness.

The 28-year-old British actor, best known as the somber-looking and gorgeous Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, has long been seen as one of the HBO series' heartthrobs but surprisingly said last month that to "always be put on a pedestal as a hunk is "slightly demeaning."

And then we were all like...

Well, after some negative feedback about his comment and possibly after taking a long, more concise look at himself in the mirror, this crow is singing a different song.

"Yeah, I did get into trouble for that," Harington told ABC News on Wednesday, days before the season 5 premiere of Game of Thrones.. "It's one of those things—you sort of say something and then you didn't realize people would jump on it. So I kinda decided I'm going to be a good little hunk and shut up from now on."

So it's settled.

No, no, we mean about the "hunk" label. Because pedestal or not, the fact remains: Harington is pretty.

However, he'd be even prettier...

Ah, there we go.

You see, Harington is known for often channeling the trademark Jon Snow look at celebrity events. However, he does showcase his gorgeous smile every once in a while and he was in great spirits during the ABC News interview, where he spoke about his character's melancholiness.

"He's not got a lot to joke about," Harington said. "It's not going very well for him."

Watch Jon Snow showcase his hotness onscreen when Game of Thrones returns for season 5 this Sunday.
