Kit Harington cries in painful farewell to Jon Snow in 'Game of Thrones' 15-year anniversary footage

Jon Snow and 'Game of Thrones' star Kit Harington's departure from the show's set after eight seasons of helming the pivotal character was not an easy one. In freshly aired behind-the-scenes footage to celebrate the show's 15-year anniversary, the actor is seen choking on his tears as he delivers a highly emotional goodbye speech on his last day of shooting on the show. He noted that the series gave him his wife, co-star Rose Leslie (who played Ygritte), and declared that the role would remain the greatest achievement of his life.
