"Game of Thrones" fans may be excited for its second last season but its one of the most popular cast members Kit Harington is feeling excatly opposite as he says he is going to miss the "madness" surrounding the show.

The 30-year-old actor, who plays a fan-favourite Jon Snow on the HBO series, which will end with season eight, however, admits he is looking ahead to a quiet life once it gets over, reported Digital Spy.

"Maybe I can reinvent myself and get away from an image that's so synonymous with Thrones. But maybe this was the role I was always meant to play and that was it...
 

"I'll enjoy the madness quieting a bit. I'd like a few years of relative obscurity," Harington said in an Esquire profile.

He adds, "If I try and compete with Thrones, if I'm like, 'I need a Marvel movie, or the next big show on Amazon, or another one on HBO,' then I'm just setting myself up for one hell of a fall."

The seventh season is set to air on July 16.
