Watch Kit Harington play air-piano and sing “Drops of Jupiter”

Here’s something random for you today: Game of Thrones veteran Kit Harington (Jon Snow) appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and performed “Drops of Jupiter” by the band Train. No, he doesn’t play the piano. No, he doesn’t sing. But he does perform the song, because why not? Watch below:

Y’know, I don’t think his voice was terrible for this song. It’s kind of scratchy, it’s a rock and roll song, it kind of works.

Apparently, Fallon has been trying to get someone to do this for a long time. “We’ve been pitching it for years — to dozens of people,” he said. “Famous people who you know and love… They sing in movies, they dance, and they actually have music out. They all passed on it. But not tonight. Tonight that changes, because we finally have someone who has the guts to do it…He’s doing it because he’s cool and he’s funny, and he gets it.”

Later, in the interview portion of the show, Harington explained why he took Fallon up on his offer. “There was another little part of [my] brain, the one that gets me in trouble, that was like, ‘But what if you’re brilliant?’ What if it opens up whole new vistas of a career in singing?”

He also dances at 4:20 below. This is a full-service appearance!

Kit Harington’s Eternals character is “quite different” from Jon Snow on Game of Thrones

You can currently see Harington in an episode of Modern Love on Amazon Prime Video, where he plays a guy who hits it off with a girl on a train but can’t get together with her afterward because the pandemic begins. “Quite honestly, it was something lighter to do, lighter to play,” he said. “I spent nine years playing a very serious character who had zero comedy to him at all.”

"They tried every now and again, they threw [Jon Snow] a joke, just fell flat, just did not work, did not work with him, it got cut."

I would watch those Game of Thrones outtakes.

Harington also teased his appearance as Dane Whitman, aka the Black Knight, in Eternals, one Marvel’s next big movies. “I realized he has a sword and rides a horse. And I was like, ‘I know this guy. I’ve been this guy.’ But actually he’s quite different, so it’s exciting.”

Eternals lands in theaters on November 5.
