Kit Harington shows off his ripped physique while Lindsay Lohan and Shailene Woodley are embroiled in a tense clash as they film scenes for Hulu thriller Count My Lies

He rose to fame as a Game Of Thrones heartthrob, so it was no surprise that Kit Harington's ripped physique was on full display as he filmed his new thriller Count My Lies in New York.

The actor, 39, was joined by co-stars Lindsay Lohan and Shailene Woodley to record their latest scenes for the Hulu miniseries.

While Kit offered a glimpse of his toned biceps in a white vest for the scenes, Lindsay, 39, and Shailene, 34, were involved in a more dramatic moment.

The pair could be seen in the middle of a tense row on the residential street, no doubt another twist in the story that will take centre stage in the project.

In the scenes, Shailene's character Sloane Caraway appeared to have been ambushed by another woman, played by Katherine LaNasa.

Despite attempts by Lindsay's character Violet Lockhart to drag her away, Kit's character Jay Lockhart got involved by furiously confronting the woman about her behaviour. 

The limited series marks Lindsay's first leading TV role, after a series of Netflix rom-com appearances following her return to the small screen.

The Parent Trap star - who has insisted her rejuvenated looks are not down to cosmetic surgery - showed off her flawless and taut complexion on set.

As well as playing the main roles, both Lindsay and Shailene are also serving as executive producers for the show, according to Deadline.

The psychological thriller is based on the recently published novel of the same name by Sophie Stava.

Production began in April, and is expected to wrap up on July 9 in New York, with no confirmed airdate as of yet.

The show follows Shailene's character Sloane Caraway, a compulsive liar who fibs her way into a nanny position for the gorgeous and charismatic Violet and Jay Lockhart - played by Lindsay and Kit.

It seems she’s finally landed her dream job, with the Lockharts appearing to be the perfect New York couple, with a brownstone, a daughter in private school, and summers on Block Island. 

But little does Sloane know that she’s just entered a household brimming with secrets that are about to explode - with potentially catastrophic consequences for all.

After Game Of Thrones wrapped with its divisive finale in 2019, Kit has since starred in Marvel's Eternals alongside fellow Thrones star Richard Madden, and in 2018 he tied the knot with his co-star Rose Leslie in a fairytale Scottish wedding.

Kit and Rose welcomed their second child, a girl, in 2023, two years after Rose gave birth to their son, who is now five.

As with their little boy, the couple haven't made their daughter's name, or other details surrounding her birth, public.

Just weeks before Game Of Thrones' divisive series finale hit screens in 2019, Kit checked into a luxury wellness retreat to work on his stress and alcohol use issues.

His publicist said at the time: 'Kit has decided to utilise this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues.'

A source revealed that Harington was at the facility 'predominantly for stress and exhaustion and also alcohol'.

The source added: 'His wife Rose is being extremely supportive. Everyone close to him really wanted him to get some rest. Right now, he just needs peace and quiet.’

Kit has also been open in interviews during the long-running series about how the show has affected him and catapulted him to fame.

Harington admitted to breaking down in tears during the table read for the final season, as well as when he wrapped shooting for the last time.

In a two-hour documentary released by HBO after the finale, behind the scenes footage showed Harington tearing up when he learned that his character would kill his on-screen love Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).

'My heart is breaking. I love this show more than anything. It has never been a job for me, it's my life,' he said in the documentary when his final scene was filmed.

Kit also revealed in an interview with Variety that he sought therapy at the height of his GoT fame and was vulnerable following his character's brief death at the end of the show's fifth series.

'My darkest period was when the show seemed to become so much about Jon, when he died and came back,' Harington said.

'I really didn't like the focus of the whole show coming onto Jon - even though it was invalidating my problem about being the weak link because things were about Jon.'

'When you become the cliffhanger of a TV show, and a TV show probably at the height of its power, the focus on you is f***ing terrifying.'

He went on to say that the period wasn't a 'very good time' in his life.

'I felt I had to feel that I was the most fortunate person in the world, when actually, I felt very vulnerable. I had a shaky time in my life around there - like I think a lot of people do in their 20s.

'That was a time when I started therapy, and started talking to people. I had felt very unsafe, and I wasn't talking to anyone. I had to feel very grateful for what I have, but I felt incredibly concerned about whether I could even f***ing act.'
