Game Of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie are expecting their second child together.
Kit admits that he is 'terrified' but has said that they are much more prepared and 'practical' this time around. He and his wife Rose, 35, from Aberdeen, had their first child in 2021.
With Rose now pregnant once again, Kit admits that his son has not quite understood what's going on yet, but is about to get 'the shock of his life'.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the US, Harington said of his two-year-old son: "We think he might be quite smart. It’s surprising, seeing as we’re both actors, we’re not sure quite where that has come from.
"He loves applause, every time he does something good we give him applause and we’re worrying that is kind of pushing him towards acting. We’re a bit like 'You might be too smart for this, go save the world, we’re thick, we had no choice'."
Harington, 36, added: "He’s about to get the shock of his life, which is he’s about to get a brother or sister. I’m terrified.
"With the first baby you’re walking on clouds and dancing through fields of daisies for nine months, well the man is anyway. But this time the reality check comes much sooner, you get practical real quick.
"I’m not sure he’s quite conceptually understood it yet. We’re trying to get him ready for it, we point at Rose’s tummy and we say ‘mummy’s baby’ and he points at his tummy and says ‘my baby’."
Kit and Rose met on the set of Game Of Thrones where they played Jon Snow and Ygritte respectively. By the time the eight season fantasy show had ended the couple had already married.
They tied the knot in 2018 at Leslie’s ancestral home in Aberdeenshire
