Game of Thrones star Kit Harington wasn't supposed to tell a soul about the much-hyped fate of his character, Jon Snow. That's not quite how it played out, as Harington told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.

He immediately told his parents and a few other folks he knows, in addition to a genius police officer. The cop had pulled the actor over for speeding, at which point Harington was presented with the choice to get booked or reveal whether Snow gets resurrected. It's a no-brainer.
