In a new interview Kit Harington said that he came to the realization that working on Game of Thrones was a dream job while taking a piss on a break as the show filmed in Iceland (I mean he said a lot more on that but, you know, you need an entry point). 

Harington’s answer came in the context of being asked by Sirius XM’s Jess Cagle if there was “any particular scene or day” from working on the series that sticks in his head, or that he thinks about a lot. Harington said that there was a moment like that, and that it happened during the filming of Season 2 when those working on the series realized it was taking off as a pop culture phenomenon. It also came during a down moment that gave him time to empty his bladder.  “I remember shooting up on this incredible glacier in Iceland, and I went off to take a pee, just in… somewhere in the wilds of Iceland,” said Jon Snow. “And I just looked out over this glacier and I thought, ‘God, I got the best job in the world.’ And that always sticks out to me because if I’m ever feeling grumpy about my lot, which, believe me, I can do amazingly, I think of that. And I think, ‘Now you’ve got a pretty special job.’”
