Sophie Turner dropped a bombshell on late-night television. The actress made a shocking confession that left fans stunned. Kissing her “Game of Thrones” co-star Kit Harington proved utterly nauseating. The reason? Their unbreakable sibling bond from the hit fantasy series.
Turner spilled the uncomfortable truth during her August 14 appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers.” She revealed the disturbing details of filming intimate scenes with Harington for their new gothic horror film “The Dreadful.” The actress didn’t hold back her disgust. She called the experience downright “vile.”

The awkwardness began long before cameras rolled. Turner had personally recommended Harington to writer-director Natasha Kermani for the male lead role. She was producing and starring in “The Dreadful” herself. But she hadn’t fully considered the romantic implications of their casting.
Harington’s response to the script said everything. He sent Turner a telling message that perfectly captured their predicament. “Yeah, I’d love to, but this is going to be really fucking weird, Soph,” he warned her. Turner initially brushed off his concerns. Then she actually read through the screenplay carefully. The romantic scenes hit her like a freight train.
“Then I was reading [the script] and it’s like, ‘Kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex…'” Turner explained to Seth Meyers. “And then I’m like, ‘Oh, shoot, that’s my brother.’” The realization struck her with full force. Eight seasons of playing siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow had cemented their familial connection. Their bond transcended the fictional realm entirely.
Despite their initial revulsion, both actors committed to the project. They recognized the script’s exceptional quality and demanded their participation. “We put it out of our minds, and then we get on set and it’s the first kissing scene, and we are both retching,” Turner confessed. “Like, really, it is vile. It was the worst.” The 15th-century gothic horror film “The Dreadful” follows Anne and her mother-in-law Morwen living on society’s fringes. A mysterious man from their past returns to trigger life-altering events. Marcia Gay Harden, Laurence O’Fuarain, and Jonathan Howard round out the cast. The film awaits an official release date announcement.
