Kit Harington: Men In Hollywood Are ‘Demeaned’ for Their Looks
Game of Thrones star Kit Harington says that attractive men are demeaned for their looks, like women are, in Hollywood.
Though the young actor likes to think of himself “as more than a head of hair or a set of looks,” others don’t see him that way. “It’s demeaning,” he says. “Yes, in some ways you could argue I’ve been employed for a look I have.

Though he admits there’s “definitely a sexism in our industry that happens towards women,” he points to examples when he has felt discriminated against: “At some points during photo shoots when I’m asked to strip down,” Harington says, “I felt that.”

I looked up and there was my dad on the right, standing proud with his hands clasped in front, with a very small group of his brothers-in-arms, watching as Obama’s signature turned them into War Heros.
