Game of Thrones' Kit Harington has unveiled a brand new look after finishing filming for the final season. The 32-year-old, who has starred as Jon Snow on the series since it first aired in 2011, is well known for his shoulder-length, curly hair and rather pleasing facial hair - but that's all a thing of the past now.

Kit, who also voices one of the main characters in the How To Train Your Dragon film franchise, showed off his transformation at a photo call for the upcoming third film in the series in London - and fans of the star don't know WHAT to think.

The curly locks have gone, as has the facial fuzz that normally sits around his jaw, leaving just a moustache that is slightly reminiscent of Sergeant Majors in old war films.

Fans were completely divided over Kit's new look, and took to Twitter to share their shock. Some loved it, with one writing, 'Well he still looks hot even with short hair and a moustache and I have never ever liked a moustache on a man before!' and another adding, 'His long hair is gone. It's officially over.'

But some weren't so keen on the new look, as one wrote, 'Reminds me a bit of Ross Geller c. Prom' and another added, 'A beard gave Kit Harington his hottie rights and the moustache took it away.' sic
