"Game of Thrones" actor Kit Harington said the reason his character, Jon Snow does not dress properly for the winter weather, as shown in the show, is because the makers want his face to be seen clearly.
The 30-year-old actor said he has always wanted to wear a hat when the team was shooting in Iceland and had discussed the matter, but it was all in vain, reported New York Times.
"It's been a big, big question in 'Thrones', about when they're up North, whether they wear headgear or not. It seems ridiculous in cold climates not to have your head protected.
"But it's a decision they made a long time ago, the decision that we need to see faces more than heads being warm. It's very difficult when you're filming people in that environment, to differentiate between people's faces," Harington said.
The actor said the creators decided that distinction was the most important thing.
He added, "But trust me, no one wants a hat more than me.
