Big ratings come with a big price tag for the final season of 'Game of Thrones'
Top Talkers: The final season reportedly cost a whopping $90 million.
"Game of Thrones" star Kit Harington admitted it was "really odd" to kiss his "best friend" Emilia Clarke on screen in the Season 8 premiere that aired Sunday, in part because Clarke is so close to his wife, former "GoT" actress Rose Leslie.
"Emilia and I had been best friends over a seven-year period and by the time we had to kiss it seemed really odd,” Harington, 32, told The Daily Mirror.
“Emilia, Rose and I are good friends, so even though you’re actors and it’s your job, there’s an element of weirdness when the three of us are having dinner and we had a kissing scene that day."

“But I remember the first time I went to an awards and it was just extraordinary," he said of his early days of notoriety. "It was dreamlike. Fame is a really odd situation. There are times when I’ve been a p—k and been egotistical. But I have always had people around who have been truthful with me and put me right."

“Unless something amazing turns up that I can’t say no to, it would be hard for me to sign a six-year deal on a show,” he admitted. “I’m looking at theatre, limited series and movies. TV has really developed, which means I can do interesting drama. Just not with too many seasons!”
