“I’m horribly superstitious, like OCDs galore,” Kit tells Jimmy when asked if he has any superstitions. The interview takes place on Friday the 13th, after all! “And really nonsensical ones. I mean, not that any of them make much sense. I have to scratch my balls every time I see an ambulance. Apparently it’s good luck for the person inside, and I thought that was a nice thing.”

Jimmy was just as incredulous as we were hearing this confession. He couldn’t stop laughing at poor Kit, who has really been taken for a ride over this superstition. “I’ve never heard this, this is not a thing at all,” Jimmy tells Kit. “It’s an Italian tradition apparently. I was lied to?” Kit answers. Yep, you were definitely lied to, buddy!

This isn’t the only confession Kit’s made lately. He wasn’t supposed to tell anyone (besides his family) about Jon Snow’s fate. But he broke the rules and quietly shared the major plot point with his girlfriend, Rose Leslie, he confessed to EW! Rose played Ygritte on Game of Thrones, so obviously she was totally invested in this news! Kit’s just spilling the beans left and right; what are we going to learn about him next?
