Sophie Turner found intimate scenes with Kit Harington 'vile'
The pair - who first starred together as half-siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow in eight seasons of Game of Thrones between 2019 and 2019 - iappear together in the upcoming gothic horror and while they were both excited about the project, Kit's fears that their romantic scenes would be "weird" for them both to film proved to be true, with Sophie admitting the "vile" experience of getting close to someone she views as a brother was a career low point.
Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she said: 'I'd just got the script for this amazing gothic horror called The Dreadful, and I was reading through all the characters.
'And I'm producing it, so the director was asking me, 'Who do you think?' And immediately, the first person I thought of was Kit.
'And so, I sent the script to Kit, and he kind of sent me a message back going like, 'Yeah, I'd love to, but this is going to be really f***ing weird, Soph.' And I was like, what is he talking about?
"Then I was reading it, and I'm like, 'Kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex scene.' And then I'm like, oh shoot, that's my brother. But it's such a good script that he's like, 'We kind of have to do it.'
'So, then 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, like really, it is vile. It was the worst, another really bad moment in my career.'
The 29-year-old actress previously acknowledged that viewers would probably find it "weird" to see her and Kit play lovers.
Speaking in a video interview with Vogue, she said: "I did a movie last year which I'm really excited about with my old but very good friend Kit Harington, who played my brother on Game of Thrones.
"We're doing a gothic horror… but we play lovers."
Sophie then grimaced as she apologised to viewers.
She said: "Sorry, guys. It's really weird for all of us."
Game of Thrones featured incestuous relationships and Sophie had previously teased "things could happen" between Sansa and Jon, particularly after his true parentage was revealed, but she admitted she would find it awkward.
Speaking in 2016, she told Access Hollywood: "Things could happen, things couldn't happen. They are cousins and it is Game of Thrones.
"I could not do that with Kit. There's no way I could do those kind of scenes with Kit— I'd laugh way too much."

Mila Kunis did 'very little eating' while making Black Swan
Mila Kunis barely ate when she was making Black Swan. The 42-year-old actress candidly admitted she had a gruelling diet and exercise regime when working to portray a professional ballerina in the 2010 movie, which was directed by Darren Aronofsky and also starred Natalie Portman. Mila told Vogue magazine: "My prep was a lot of dancing and very little eating — which I know you're not supposed to say, but it's the truth. I drank a lot of broth and danced for 12 hours a day. "We were only supposed to have three months of prep before filming started, but we lost some financing, so that got extended to six months while Darren tried to find money. "It sucked for Darren, but Nat and I were so happy because we had three extra months to dance." And the intense shoot also saw Mila sustain a number of injuries, including one which left her afraid she would have to leave the production. She said: "We would shoot those dancing scenes for hours, and I had bruises all over my ribs just from being lifted over and over again. "I also dislocated my shoulder pretty early in the production and thought I was completely screwed, but Darren sent me to an acupuncturist and I somehow came out totally fine." Although Darren tried to pit Natalie and Mila - who were friends before being cast - against one another during the shoot in a bid to aid their performances, the two actresses quickly realised his tactics. The director said: "My take is that I was trying to be a sneaky director and make them argue. Mila and Natalie both realised very quickly what I was doing and made fun of me, so it quickly became a joke that we all understood. They're both very clever and were instantly privy to whatever trick I was playing. Do you guys remember it differently?" Natalie, 44, replied: "I remember being separated from Mila and that we weren't in the same space a lot when we weren't shooting. Darren made some comment early on, like, 'Ya know, Nat, Mila's dancing so well.' "And I was like, 'Of course she is! She's so f****** talented and I love her so much and I'm happy she's doing a great job!' " Mila added: "Darren would tell me, 'Nat is working really, really hard. She's not even taking Saturdays and Sundays off.' Then I would text Nat and she'd be like, '…No, I'm not?' "I think that's how we figured out what Darren was up to, but it was all in good fun."

Sophie Turner 'was going through hell' amid Trust shoot
Sophie Turner found filming Trust to be "super cathartic". The 29-year-old actress was in the midst of her divorce from pop star Joe Jonas during the film's shoot, and Sophie actually enjoyed being able to throw herself into the project. Sophie - whose character suffers a betrayal in Trust - said on Late Night with Seth Meyers: "I'm not sure if anyone's aware, but when I started shooting this movie, I was going through, like, a media hell. "So this was super cathartic because I wanted to run away in my real life when that was all happening. But I got to do it in a movie and I got to smash some s*** up, so that was fun." Sophie previously described her separation from Joe as "incredibly sad". The actress was married to the pop star between 2019 and 2024, and she admitted that their break-up was very difficult. She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard." Sophie returned home to the UK after her marriage ended, and the actress admitted that she's now loving life in England. She said: "I'm so happy to be back. It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England. "I just never really feel like myself when I'm not in London, with my friends and family. I was away for so long — six years — and it was when my friends were getting engaged, and when I got pregnant. I went for dinner with someone the other day, and she said, 'I never got to touch your belly.' We didn't have those key experiences with each other." Sophie has daughters Delphine, three, and Willa, five, with her ex-husband, and she admitted that motherhood changed her "so much in every way". She added: "Before I had kids, I was very depressed and anxious, and I would isolate [myself] a lot. Now, I think I live my life for them. I want them to see me having a social life and enjoying work and thriving in my career and relationships. I want them to see a hard-working mum."
