Actor Kit Harington says he found out that his real name is Christopher only when he was 11.

However, he said he was called Kit from day one.

`It was very strange, I went to school, and I remember that you had to do these tests to find out what set you're in-how clever you are. I put down Kit Harington, and they looked at me like I was completely stupid, and they said, 'No, you're Christopher Harington, I'm afraid',` Harington said in a statement.

`It was only then I learnt my actual name. That was kind of a bizarre existential crisis for an 11-year-old to have, but in the end I always stuck with Kit, because I felt that's who I was. I'm not really a Chris,` added the actor, who will be seen in `Pompeii`.

The movie will release in India Feb 21.
