"Game of Thrones" star Kit Harington has bemoaned "sexism towards men" in the entertainment industry.
Harington, who essays Jon Snow on the hit HBO fantasy drama series, believes there is a "double standard" towards men in showbiz and says he has been a victim himself, reports femalefirst. co. uk.
"I like to think of myself as more than a head of hair or a set of looks.
It is demeaning.
Yes, in some ways you could argue I have been employed for a look I have.
But there's a sexism that happens towards men, " Harington told the Sunday Times newspaper.
"There's definitely a sexism in our industry that happens towards women, and there is towards men as well.
At some points during photoshoots when I'm asked to strip down, I felt that, " he added.
Harington admitted that he is not always fond of receiving a lot of attention.
"I don't want to seem ungrateful - - I'm lucky.
But I can't say that I like a lot of attention a lot of the time, " he said.
"I think there is a double standard.
If you said to a girl, 'Do you like being called a babe?'
and she said, 'No, not really, ' she would be absolutely right, " Harington added.
Season six of "Game of Thrones" is premiered in India on Star World Premiere HD in India.
