We sort of knew that Kit Harington and Rose Leslie were together. They’ve reportedly been dating, on and off, for years. They allegedly fell for each other while filming Game of Thrones – she was Ygritte, he was Jon Snow and he knew nothing – but at various times over the past few years, it did seem like they were taking a break here and there. Or maybe they’ve just been really, really private this whole time. Rose and Kit made their red carpet debut last night at the Olivier Awards in London. And the way they look at each other… I’m into it. They’re adorable. I want them to have snow babies. Oh, Rose’s dress is Malene Oddershede Bach. I thought it was Oscar de la Renta! It’s very pretty.
More photos from the Oliviers… Laura Carmichael wore this conservative Erdem. I like Laura so much and I want her to find her best styling. I’m not sure this is it.
Gemma Arterton wore Jenny Packham. She’s another actress I love for no specific reason, mostly because I think she’s pretty and underrated. The girl can dress though. She looks great in this color and style.
True story: before this moment, I had literally no idea that Lara Pulver was married to Raza Jaffrey. My God, that man is HOT. Lara’s pretty hot too. Well done to her for landing that hot piece. Isn’t it funny that she played Irene on Sherlock and he played the “Mary” boyfriend to Joan Watson in Elementary?

Peek-a-boo, I see you, Jon Snow curls.
Love them together. Plus they can probably share clothes. It’s perfect.
Can’t wait for GoT to start. I’ve read so many spoilers. Some amazing and satisfying. Some heart breaking.
So while I’ve been reading speculation, I keep reading about this GRRM “outline” that leaked ages ago, and how Martin planned endgame to be Jon and Arya together romantically. Yuck. Even if L+R=J, they were raised as siblings and were very close. Some say it will be Jon and Sansa instead, which isn’t much better. Strangely, I don’t have a problem with Jon and his probable aunt. It’s just what Targaryen’s have always done, and they weren’t raised together.
I wouldn’t be surprised is a marriage had to happen between Jon and Sansa or Arya. It would solidify a pact between the Targaryen’s and the Starks. Would make for an awkward wedding night, though…
Dany and Jon would still be Targaryen and Stark. Sansa would tower over him, but it’s always the short guys she’s paired with. And Arya still looks so young. I’m not digging it.
I’ve been avoiding spoilers like the plague, because this season is the first one where I’ll really have no idea what will happen (I love the books but yeah…there was definitely less suspense when watching the show).
As for Jon and Arya / Jon and Sansa, I also find it a bit squicky; I could see it maybe being a “political marriage” more than anything else. Of course, Sansa does already have 2 husbands, maybe a third would be a wee bit of a stretch even for GRRM?
Why is everyone ignoring the fact that he’s dead? Is he not really dead?
magic, GNAT, magic will happen, (I am hoping so).
That horrible red witch Melisandre needs to do at least one good thing in this series.
If it wasn’t too much of a stretch for Margaery, why would it be for Sansa?
I think the difference is Margaery’s hubbies were dead. Sansa has two living husbands. Hopefully soon that will be one. I do t mind endgame of Tyrion and Margaery. Other than her family, he was the only man kind to her without an agenda. He also didn’t force kisses like LF, or rape her like her current charmer. He even refused to visit the brothel because it would humiliate her.
I’ve read the original outline too but I feel like GRRM has moved so far away from it that Jon and Arya isn’t on the cards. Also, if they knew this to begin with, and it seems like they have always known the endgame, then I think they’d make more of an effort to cast with that in mind. Or have recast Arya (nooooooo) by now to age her up, as they did with Tommen. Jon and Sansa wouldn’t raise so many eyebrows (they barely spoke to each other growing up, if I remember rightly? Not much brother-sister bond there) but it would still be odd unless it was handled very, very carefully. I guess it’s moot for now …. for this to happen we’d have to find out that L+R=J was true, and Ramsay would have to be dead, which seems like a lot to happen quickly.
Pulver also used to be married to Josh Dallas (from Thor and Once Upon a Time)
Who is perfectly cast as Prince Charming.
Raza Jeffrey has alway been my pick if they were going to cast an asian Bond.
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
He’s sexy. Right age. I’m down with that.
I bet the next Bond will be a posh white guy.
The character of Bond is posh, but none of the actors who’ve played him have been posh in real life.
At best, Timothy Dalton was from a middleclass background. All the rest are from working class backgrounds.
Sorry, I have to veto this idea in the interest of public safety. Raza Bond would trigger a worldwide epidemic of exploding ovaries, do you want that over your head?
They do look cute, but the award for cutes couple of the Olivier Awards goes to James Norton and Jessie Buckley.
Laura is so pretty, it’s amazing how they menaged to make her look so dowdy on Downton Abbey.
Gemma’s dress is awful.
Yoo hoo, Sixer! Good job calling it for Kenneth Cranham!
These two are absolutely adorable together. Thats all I have to say! 😄
I like them as a couple; they’re SO cute together! I like Rose’s look so much; she is a bit distinctive, not cookie cutter like SO many actresses. Agree: love Laura Carmichael, but the dress is like she’s wearing a flowery armchair, way too much dress. Gemma is gorgeous (except I hate sleeves that billow out right before the cuffs..) have you seen Gemma Bovary and also Tamara Drew? She stars in both, quite winningly.
I love Tamara Drewe. I became a fan of Arterton with The disappearance of Alice Creed.
I think she does better in british productions than in big budget US flicks. Check Byzantium (with Saoirse Ronan) or the tearjerker Song for Marion. She’s great in both.
They look like brother and sister in the first pic.
That’s the vibe I get off them, honestly. They’ve been so on and off over the past few years. And he’s been so reluctant to talk about his personal life and now he’s all over the place talking about her as his best friend and true love…it just seems like such a weird turnaround.
This is just a theory, but I wonder if his head swelled from all of the attention he got from GOT – remember his constant whining about the hard life of a sex symbol? Then maybe he settled down and realized he loved her. Or something.
@GNAT, you might be right. I don’t think your theory is too far fetched.
Rose was so kickass in GoT! She kind of reminds me of Emma Stone. Kit and her look good together!
Blerg…I love Laura Carmichael but 😨
Rose is too good for Mr. Pouty cry face.
Snow babies. I ship it.
I loved Rose in Downton Abbey. Never knew she was going out with Kit. They make a cute couple. And I Iove Laura Carmichael’s dress but not sure if I like it on her so much.
You had me on ‘snow babies’, lol.
Ahh, I forgot they were a thing! So cute!
I’m suddenly understanding what twihards must feel all the time.
I love Gemma and I think she’s a good actress, I don’t understand why she doesn’t get more roles. Maybe I’m biased bc I first saw her in Tess of the Dubervilles (which i love) and after that I just always root for her. I also think she’s pretty and has the curvy shape like Kate Winslet that makes her beauty stand apart in a good way. I love Rose Leslie’s jewelry, not sure about the dress… It looks like too much on her, maybe bc her hair and make up is so underdone. Her and Kit r super cute though.
I love seeing those two actors together in real life. Their posh accents, their beauty. And they are understated. Really inspiring couple. How they look at each other = gold.
