During a Tuesday appearance on _The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show_, Harington told the BBC Radio 2 host that he is now the proud owner of his character’s stone likeness. “I kept that statue. You know, the one in the crypt. I kept it, they sent it to my house. So I’ve got it in my shed. How sad is that?” he said. “I was the only one who kept their statue that’s how narcissistic I am.” Harington went on to explain his future plans for Jon’s effigy. “I’m going to turn it into a water feature I think,” he quipped. _Game of Thrones_ will return for its eighth and final season on April 14.
