Reuniting with her former Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington was more than awkward, according to Sophie Turner, who was retching.
Film star Sophie Turner says a snog with hunky co-star Kit Harington left them both feeling physically sick.
The Game of Thrones colleagues have what they call a sibling-like relationship, forged after playing brother and sister Jon Snow and Sansa Stark in the show. But when the script dropped for upcoming gothic horror movie The Dreadful, things got a little awkward.
Sophie, a producer on the film, thought Kit was perfect to play the male lead. But there was one issue – she was playing his potential love interest and the stars were left with a funny feeling after the snog. It comes after reports of Victoria Beckham’s four-word comment to Geri Horner amid Spice Girls ‘feud’.

While on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the 29-year-old confessed: “We put it out of our minds, and then when it came to shooting, we were both retching. It was vile. Honestly, the worst.” This comes as Sophie issued a savage response after she was mum-shamed over her kids.
Sophie explained that their friendly, close relationship had persisted even after Game of Thrones had ended. Due to their familiarity, the romantic scenes in the Dreadful were almost insurmountable.
When Natasha Kermani, the director, inquired about making the male lead for The Dreadful, Kit seemed to be the right choice. However, the reunion also had its problems, as she noted on the show how things started to get a little strange.
She recalled that Kit responded with the script, saying, “Yes, I’d love to, but this is going to be really weird, Soph. ” Then I went over the script once more, and it’s just kiss, kiss, sex, kiss. And I realized right away that my brother is here.
Their first encounter involved kissing, so the awkwardness quickly developed. Even a scene from her thriller Trust, in which cockroaches and rats crawled over her, didn’t compare to that scene. She acknowledged that “Kissing Kit was still worse.”
The Dreadful takes place in 15th-century England, set against the backdrop of the Wars of the Roses, and follows Anne, played by Sophie, as her fragile relationship with her mother-in-law Morwen unravels when a man from her past appears and causes a dangerous sequence of events.
Oscar-winning actors Laurence O’Fuarain, Jonathan Howard, and Marcia Gay Harden also make the cast. Although a release date has not yet been determined, the movie is already generating positive publicity thanks to its well-known lead actors.
Although Jon Snow’s true Targaryen heritage was later revealed, viewers still had a strong connection to Sansa’s family, which makes the idea of a relationship between the two particularly unsettling. Before joining Vogue, Sophie once said, “Sorry guys, it’s weird for everyone.”
This comes after her recent confession that she once accidentally broke up a celebrity couple at a Comic-Con afterparty. A simple wave to an actor her friend admired spiralled into chaos when his fiancée confronted Turner for “flirting” with him.
The pair’s engagement was ended the same night. Turns out, because of my [wave], they broke off their engagement that night. I didn’t realize I had this influence.
