Kit Harington is probably most well-known for his role as the bruiting bastard son of Ned Stark on HBO's popular fantasy series Game of Thrones and now here he is starring as the face of the newest Jimmy Choo Man fragrance campaign. The shoot stars Harington decked out in dapper high-fashion suits as he hangs out with an anonymous woman at a luxury pad.
The Jimmy Choo Man scent is set to hit stores this September. The masculine fragrance is said to be overtly hip with key hints of honeydew. The popular shoe brand -- more well-known for their line of women footwear than men's -- chose Harington to star to front the fragrance because of his natural mystic, mystery and untamed masculinity. It probably helps that Harington is quickly rising in popularity and fame thanks to Game of Thrones.
