Ripped Kit Harington Goes Shirtless Backstage at London's 'Slave Play'

Kit Harington is likely one of the reasons queer playwright Jeremy O. Harris' "Slave Play" is a London sensation. Another reason would be Harris' provocative play itself, which deals with race and sexual relationships amongst interracial couples.

In the play, Harington plays a buttoned-up Brit who is in a dysfunctional relationship with an American black woman (played by Olivia Washington, from the film "Breaking"). Backstage, though, Harington is far less buttoned-up, as seen in a post to Harris' Instagram Stories which was later deleted, according to US Weekly. Fans managed to catch a glimpse, however.

In the photo, the 37-year-old Harington is "looking jacked while staring into the camera wearing a pair of trousers," US Weekly reported.

The photo was taken by Harris and posted to social media on Tuesday with the words, "Kits gonna kill me for posting this. Share it so he will forgive me."

Looks like fans got the message.
