'No beard? You know nothing Jon Snow!' Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington causes a Twitter frenzy after revealing his clean-shaven look in fan selfies
A haircut last year led to a flurry of speculation about his future in Game of Thrones.
And now his character Jon Snow has risen from the dead, Kit Harington has sent his fans into a frenzy yet again by shaving off his signature beard.
The 29-year-old actor debuted his dramatic makeover after a performance of his West End play Doctor Faustus in London this week.
Twitter was flooded with selfies on Thursday as fans got snaps with their clean-shaven idol at the stage door.
And fans were shocked by the hunk's new look, with one declaring 'How dare Kit Harington shave his beard off? I don't get it.'
'Kit Harington shaved his beard and I could feel the tears in my eyes,' added another distraught tweeter.

One summed up the travesty simply with: 'Kit Harrington without a beard looks like pizza without cheese.'
It's not the first time Kit has undergone a major makeover, with the actor causing meltdown last January when he arrived at the premiere of his movie The Testament of Youth with shorter locks.
The new 'do caused GoT fans to speculate the show favourite was leaving the show, as he has a contract to keep his long locks to play Jon Snow.

Sure enough when Jon was murdered at the close of season five, the new hair seemed to signify that the star had moved on from the series that made his name, only for the show to reveal a huge twist when the character was resurrected in season six.
Kit's new look comes soon after the Brit actor claimed male actors suffer the same 'demeaning' sexism as female stars and said he is annoyed by constant questions about his looks.
The actor revealed he often felt typecast as 'a head of hair or a set of looks' and felt uncomfortable when he was asked to film topless scenes.

'There's a sexism that happens towards men,' the 29-year-old told the Sunday Times Magazine.
'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. If I felt I was being employed just for my looks, I'd stop acting,' he added.
The star complained there was one rule for women and another for men in the industry and the issue of male actors facing sexism was not being confronted.
'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'd be absolutely right.
'I like to think of myself as more than a head of hair or a set of looks. It's demeaning,' he explained.
