Watch: Sophie Turner describes kissing Kit Harington for new film
Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Sophie Turner is opening up about what it was like kissing her former Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington in the upcoming gothic horror film The Dreadful, which Turner also produces.
The actress, 29, and Harington, 38, played onscreen siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow on Game of Thrones and now portray lovers in The Dreadful.
Turner discussed the film on Late Night with Seth Meyers Thursday.
"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 ... weird Soph,'" she told Meyers. "And I was like, 'What is he talking about?' And then I was reading it and I'm like kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex. And then I'm like, 'Oh, shoot, that's my brother.'"
"But it's such a good script that he was like, 'We kind of have to do it.' So then we put it out 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," she added.
Meyers asked Turner if the experience was worse than filming with live rats and cockroaches for her upcoming movie Trust.
"Yeah," she responded.
In The Dreadful, Turner portrays Anne, a woman living her mother-in-law amid the War of the Roses. Harrington plays a man from their past who complicates Anne's life, Deadline reports.

Sophie Turner Says She Unintentionally Ended A Celebrity Engagement With 1 Simple Gesture
Sophie Turner is opening up about the unexpected role she played in the demise of a celebrity couple's relationship. Appearing on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' on Thursday, the 'Game of Thrones' actor recalled being introduced to Meyers for the first time at a San Diego Comic-Con afterparty about a decade ago. Though Turner remembers that first encounter with Meyers fondly, she said the evening 'went really south really quick' when she attempted to say hello to an unidentified actor at the request of her friend, who was a fan. Turner hadn't met the actor before, so she simply waved at him from afar. But it wasn't long before she came to regret that seemingly friendly gesture. Moments later, she noticed 'this girl looking at me, and she's a famous actress,' at which point she decided to make an introduction. Related: Watch a clip of Sophie Turner's 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' interview below. Unfortunately, Turner says the female actor, who she did not identify by name, replied with a stern warning to 'stop fucking flirting with my fiancé.' And though Turner insisted she had 'no idea who this man is,' her wave put an end to the romance. 'Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night,' she recalled. 'I didn't realize I held this power.' Elsewhere in the chat, Turner said she couldn't share the couple's names with Meyers and his audience, or she'd 'get in a lot of trouble.' Turner, whose credits also include 'X-Men: Apocalypse' and 'Dark Phoenix,' returns to the big screen next week in a new thriller, 'Trust.' She stars as Lauren Lane, a Hollywood actor who retreats to a remote cabin after a public scandal, only to find herself fighting for her life under terrifying circumstances. Related: She's also set to reunite with her 'Game of Thrones' co-star Kit Harrington in the forthcoming horror film 'The Dreadful.' In her chat with Meyers, the actor said she and Harrington felt awkward filming some of the movie's love scenes at first, given that their 'Game of Thrones' characters were siblings. 'We get on set and it's the first kissing scene, and we are both retching,' she quipped. 'Really, it is vile... another really bad moment in my career.' Related...

Rapper Sean Kingston gets 3.5 year prison sentence for $1 million fraud scheme
Rapper Sean Kingston was sentenced on Friday to three and a half years in prison after being convicted of a $1 million fraud scheme in South Florida. Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Paul Anderson, and his mother, Janice Eleanor Turner, were each convicted by a federal jury in March of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud. U.S. Judge David Leibowitz sentenced Turner last month to five years in prison. The same judge sentenced Kingston, who was immediately taken into custody. Leibowitz also ordered that a restitution hearing should be held within 90 days. Kingston's sentence is to be followed by three years of supervised release. According to court records, Kingston used social media from April 2023 to March 2024 to arrange purchases of high-end merchandise. MediaPunch / BACKGRID Kingston, 35, and his mother were arrested in May 2024 after a SWAT team raided Kingston's rented mansion in suburban Fort Lauderdale. Turner was taken into custody during the raid, while Kingston was arrested at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in California's Mojave Desert, where he was performing. According to court records, Kingston used social media from April 2023 to March 2024 to arrange purchases of high-end merchandise. After negotiating deals, Kingston would invite the sellers to one of his high-end Florida homes and promise to feature them and their products on social media. Sean Kingston, right, and his mother Janice Turner arrive at the 40th anniversary American Music Awards, Nov. 18, 2012, in Los Angeles. Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP Investigators said that when it came time to pay, Kingston or his mother would text the victims fake wire receipts for the luxury merchandise, which included a bulletproof Escalade, watches and a 19-foot (5.9-meter) LED TV, investigators said. When the funds never cleared, victims often contacted Kingston and Turner repeatedly, but were either never paid or received money only after filing lawsuits or contacting law enforcement. Kingston, who was born in Florida and raised in Jamaica, shot to fame at age 17 with the 2007 hit 'Beautiful Girls,' which laid his lyrics over Ben E. King's 1961 song 'Stand By Me.' His other hits include 2007's 'Take You There' and 2009's 'Fire Burning.'
