When it comes to some of television's most popular series, 'Game of Thrones' is right up there as one of the most beloved shows of this generation.

Now, with just a final season, comprising of six episodes, left to go, viewers are speculating how the story will come to an end.

One of the biggest reveals left in the series includes lead characters Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).

Talking about the future of King of the North and Mother of Dragons, Harington revealed that he would love for his character Jon to have a bit of a twisted psyche when he does find out, reports The Guardian.

Speaking in an interview with The Guardian, the 30-year-old actor said, "I really hope that he just nods slowly and goes, 'Damned right' [when he finds out Jon and Daenerys are related].

Something really horribly inappropriate, and you found out Jon's had a really sick mind the whole time. That's the way I'd love to play it. I'll try it for one take, anyway."

The 'Gunpowder' star also revealed that he is terrified of the original Game of Thrones pilot being leaked, which bosses have threatened to do, to keep the star in line.

"They made a lot of mistakes. It didn't look right, didn't feel right, had nothing different about it. They say, if I ever p**s them off too much, they'll release it on YouTube. Every now and then, they send me a screen grab, just as a threat," noted Harington.

'Game of Thrones' season 8 is expected to return to HBO in 2019.
