See Game Of Thrones' Kit Harington In Tennis Spoof

TV hunk flexes his comedy muscles stars opposite Andy Samberg...

He's famous for playing dour soldier Jon Snow in Game Of Thrones, but Kit Harington has branched out into comedy for a new project.

The 28-year-old heart throb appears opposite Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg in HBO's 7 Days In Hell - a mockumentary about tennis' most epic grudge match.

The legendary battle - a match which lasted a full week - is re-told in talking head form, with "vintage" footage of Harington and Samberg going at it.

Of course the match in question is fictitious, although Samberg's bad-boy persona and headband might remind tennis fans of a certain John McEnroe - the fiery player who had an epic rivalry with Bjorn Borg in the 1970s and 1980s.

His character, Aaron Williams, faces off against British star Charles Poole - whose gentlemanly demeanour mirrors that of classy Swede Borg.

The TV film also features appearances from Lena Dunham, Karen Gillan and Mary Steenburgen - and is set to air on 11 July, as Wimbledon draws to a close.
