Win a date with Kit Harington, take a gander at Jason Momoa in Aquaman, and other celeb things
Many Game of Thrones cast members have finished filming their scenes for season 8, and they’ve moved on to other things. Now that the wrap party is through, stars like Kit Harington (Jon Snow) can look ahead to his June 23 wedding to longtime girlfriend and former cast member Rose Leslie (Ygritte). Harington’s upcoming nuptials aren’t getting in the way of his philanthropic ventures, however, as he is raising money for his personal charity, Longlands Youth Farm, by auctioning himself off for a date, to the highest bidder.
According to Insider, for £5,000 ($6,674) a person can win a date with the Game of Thrones star, and for £10,000 ($13,349), you can bring eight friends along. Longlands is a working farm that helps young people learn skills by “helping them to build confidence and self-esteem through vocational training and meaningful work.” If you wish to donate, you can by clicking this link.
Moving on, all-new photos of Jason Momoa as DC’s Aquaman have flooded the internet. We first saw him in the role in Justice League, but this time around he’s getting his own film. My man!
Entertainment Weekly has revealed the first looks at the film which hits theaters on December 21.

Finally, while Emilia Clarke may have starred in Solo: A Star Wars Story, she wasn’t the only Game of Thrones actor to do so. As it turns out, Arya Stark’s direwolf Nymeria had a cameo in the film.
As Digital Spy notes, Saxon (Nymeria) was in full costume as one of the Corellian Hounds that chased Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) and Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke) through the Corellian spaceport at the beginning of the film.
At least one of the direwolves is still getting work. Now, if we could only get Ghost some scenes in season 8, we’d be happy (as long as he lives, that is).
