PICS: The tragedy! Kit Harington shaved his beard!

Cape Town – Kit Harington pitched up at a London showing of his new play, Doctor Faustus, on Thursday night without his beard.

For some reason, yet unknown, the Game of Thrones actor showed off a new clean shaven look.

There was no sign of the Jon Snow beard we’ve come to love.

What could all of this mean? Why would the 29-year-old do such a thing?
