Actor Kit Harington recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, wherein he talked about attending a Game of Thrones convention in Los Angeles and teased the series' new Jon Snow spinoff.

When Fallon asked him if he's part of the spin-off, Harington said he can't talk about it. But the actor did jokingly mention that he gets recognized ''a little less nowadays.''

He said:

''It kinda hurts my ego, you know. I'm pretty close to, like, putting on some furs, but..''

In Game of Thrones, Kit Harington played the iconic role of Jon Snow, a performance for which he received universal critical acclaim and garnered a massive fan following.

A spin-off series based on his character is reportedly in the works, but not many details about it are known at this point.

Host Jimmy Fallon asked Kit Harington what it would take for him to do the highly anticipated Jon Snow spinoff, to which the actor responded,

''Yeah, I think, like, I've got a tally in my head of how few photos I get asked for in a day. And when it gets below a certain number, I think I'll do the spin-off, yeah.''

During the interview, Harington also spoke about attending a Game of Thrones convention in Los Angeles and the popularity of the series. He said,

''It was like, it was a bit like going back in time, you know. I know it's only been four years or something (since the show ended), but it feels longer. And I went to it, and it's nice seeing the fans, and it's kind of amazing that that show has still got such a fan base. And it's continuing on in its own way.''
