Kit Harington has said he does not want to be pigeonholed because of his appearance and has argued sexism against men in Hollywood needs to be properly recognized.

The Game of Thrones actor, who plays the role of Jon Snow, said that male actors now endure “demeaning” sexism towards their appearance which women in the film industry have long experienced.

The 29-year-old said he’d been most exposed to the film industry’s sexism in scenes where he was asked to strip off.

“I think there is a double standard,” he told The Sunday Times Magazine. “If you said to a girl, ‘Do you like being called a babe?’ and she said, ‘No, not really,’ she’d be absolutely right.”

“I like to think of myself as more than a head of hair or a set of looks,” he continued. “It’s demeaning. Yes, in some ways you could argue I’ve been employed for a look I have. But there’s a sexism that happens towards men.”
