Kit Harrington's abs...


sorry but John snow's abs are all i could think of throughout and after the movie. HOTTTTTT!!!! dont care if he can't act... his abs are like no *beep* way!!

reply

only reason he got this film was his abs. At last we know the casting couch is still in effect in Hollywood.

Abs or no abs, doesn't change the fact that he played his part great

I am Tigro, bow down to my greatness.

reply

Wasn't he overwhelmed or pushing himself in workouts for this role? Either or, it makes me want to see him more!

reply

sorry carlos I totally disagree with you on this, he didnt play the part well, he wasnt believable, and they could have gotten 100 other actors to play the part more convincingly.

Yeah but i'm thinking more in the lines of this being a Paul Anderson movie. I wasn't expecting more than a 5 outta 10 or 6 outta 10 movie and got exactly that. The movie entertained me and the actors did just enough to entertain me. So i'm satisfied.

Oh some of the finest acting go his era.
Who needs Leonardo do Caprico?
The Charles Bronson school of acting is putting out top quality these days.

reply

True that, DiCaprio got nothing on Do Caprico

actually I was about to say the opposite; This guy turned in a decent performance in this film; he really wasn't bad at all, and it is rare when a guy who looks like Harrington can act at all. The casting couch? I don't think so..of course actors' physical beauty is important on landing a romantic 'hero' role like this. It's always been that way. I mean, who should they have cast for a (mostly) shirtless gladiator who wins the most beautiful girl in Pompeii? Jonah Hill perhaps?

not bad looking either

reply

Yeah, well he's no Ryan Gosling, but then who is??

"IMdB; where 14 year olds can act like jaded 40 year old critics...'

No, that's untrue. He got the role THEN started his workout.

From IMDB trivia;
Consequently, Kit Harington undertook a heavy 'bulking' regime and a diet of 3000 calories a day to put on 2 stones (12.7kg/28lbs) of weight in 5 weeks. He then went on a very severe diet and 'cutting' regime for 4 weeks to cut back from 12 stone (76.2kg/168lbs) to 10 stone (63.5kg/140lbs) acquiring intense muscle definition in the process. Harington later said that he was very pleased with the results and that it was the best shape of his life.
Also;
Director Paul W.S. Anderson said that he was not pleased when a lot of people online said that Kit Harington's six pack abs were digitally enhanced and not real after the first stills and trailers for the movie were released. He reiterated that they were completely real with no make-up or digital enhancement and Harington actually looked like that for the shooting of those scenes.

Frankly autocorrect, I'm getting a little tired of your shirt

reply

If that's true, the more accurate explanation is that he took mass gaining steroids such as Test+Dianabol for 5 weeks, and then fat-cutting steroids such as Test+Winstrol+Anavar for 4 weeks.

But it still sounds a bit BS. So he reached that physique in only 9 weeks? And he only weighs 140 lbs?

reply

He didn't have those abs before casting. He started working out and dieting before filming. And made a transformation.

reply

So what ... a little eye candy for all the ladies never hurt anyone .. lol .

......


I'd like a chance t' shoot at an educated man once in my life .

reply

Actually if you read he did not have those abs when he was cast. In fact he was characterized as in pretty bad shape. He had to go under intense training throughout the film to get those abs so next time you should do some research to make sure you actually know what your talking about

reply

It's just abs.

reply

pity his always covered up in GOT

reply

Well, walking around shirtless might appear odd when the outside looks like it's 30 below zero

reply

There was actually a scene in GoT where they edited his abs, because if was too fit for "Jon Snow recovering from arrows". No one is in bed for weeks and has a 6-pack, so they removed his abs, or cut above them or something. :D

reply

They were CGI in at least one shot and spent some time in the makeup department before several other scenes.

To get abs like he had, you basically have to overeat with good nutrition then undereat with good nutrition. If you just maintain the same diet you will not get abs like he had in his first scene. Nowhere close.

Here is a picture of one of the first scenes: http://d1mxyp5ceukbya.cloudfront.net/images/kit-harington-abs-real-pompeii-sony.jpg

They kinda stand out, they are not simple washboard abs.

reply

I know kit worked hard to get into great shapel

reply

Interesting point Jesus_Chris.

reply

who says Harrington can't act? His performance was pretty decent in this film..I was actually surprised by that. anyway abs are a cheap commodity in Hollywood these days. It seems like most movie stars and aspiring actors have them. The trick is to find the combination of physical beauty AND talent. That is so rare.

reply

a lot of people bashed his acting for Pompeii. Personally I think he performs really well in GOT.. but i must admit he looks very camera conscious in Pompeii. nonetheless cant have enough of that kit harrington

reply

If Harrington appears a bit "camera-conscious" it is understandable. Making the transition from tv series to huge, blockbuster-type movie, must be a bit intimidating for someone who is new to the industry. I magine that SO much more was required of him for "Pompeii," and so much more is at stake. Still, I thought he was good, and he will only get better. You can see from his performance that there is some amount of real talent there.
