Kit, who has been sober for two-and-a-half years following a stint in rehab, revealed that while he is now ‘very happy’ and ‘content’, he once battled suicidal thoughts.
‘I went through some pretty horrible stuff,’ Christopher, who goes by the moniker Kit, told The Sunday Times, when describing his life after the end of Game of Thrones.
‘Things that have happened to me since Thrones ended, and that were happening during Thrones, were of a pretty traumatic nature and they did include alcohol,’ he revealed.

Kit went on to describe his experience of hitting rock bottom, that resulted in a stint in rehab at the Privé-Swiss retreat in Connecticut, costing £95,000 a month.
When asked by the publication whether he ever contemplated suicide, Kit reportedly hesitated before saying: ‘The answer is yes. Yes of course. I went through periods of real depression where I wanted to do all sorts of things.’
Kit said he hopes his comments will help others suffering, and admitted to being very ‘secretive’ about his addictions.
‘I will say about my addictions that I kept them very, very quiet and I was incredibly secretive and incredibly locked up with them,’ he confessed.
