Sophie Turner recalls kissing Kit Harrington; calls it worse than a day with cockroaches: "It is vile.."
Sophie Turner and Kit Harrington had to be intimate in their new upcoming film – becoming the most vile experience – after they played siblings in the ' Game of Thrones .' The new gothic horror, 'The Dreadful,' indeed gave a titular moment to the lead actors. Sophie Turner recalls casting Kit Harrington During her recent appearance on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers,' Turner chronicled the process, where she even produced the film. When the director asked her about what she thinks, the 29-year-old quickly promoted that Kit Harrington would bring justice to the role. After she sent him the script, he quipped that it would be awkward, making Sophie realise that the plot had various intimate scenes. Sophia Turner claims it was the worst '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**king weird, Soph,'' she said. While they both thought that the scenes would feel weird, they agreed to act in the film because of the well-written script. '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,' she said in the interview. When Meyers asked whether the experience was worse than the day with cockroaches, Sophie agreed. In the same interview, Sophie narrated the day she spent shooting with rats and cockroaches for 'The Dreadful,' emphasizing that they were physically interacting with her and were not CGI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

Did Sophie Turner's flirty past break up this A-list couple? Fans think they have solved it
Sophie Turner has gotten people talking in Hollywood after telling a story from 2014 that she says broke up a famous couple by accident. The actress from "Game of Thrones" told the story on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," and fans can't wait to find out who the mystery couple might be. Internet sleuths think they have the answer now, and the evidence points strongly to Emma Roberts and Evan Peters. Turner says that she and her best friend went to an afterparty after the convention. Sophie waved at an actor she liked when her friend told her to. But that little thing seemed to start some unexpected drama. Not long after, a famous actress confronted Turner and accused her of flirting with her fiancé, as per a report by Page Six.

Explore Cash-Now, Pay-Later Basics TheDaddest Undo Why do fans think Emma Roberts and Evan Peters were involved? The story might have stayed a secret, but Reddit fans quickly figured it out. People online seem to agree that the couple Turner was talking about is Emma Roberts and Evan Peters, who had a rocky relationship. Roberts and Peters had been engaged since late 2013, which was a long time ago. Their relationship was anything but smooth. There were reports of fights, and in 2013, Roberts was arrested after a fight with Peters at home, as per a report by Page Six. Live Events Besides the rumors, both actors were seen at a 20th Century Fox Comic-Con party in 2014, which is the same event Turner talked about. Later pictures showed Roberts looking very upset outside the venue in the early hours, which seemed to support Turner's story. What happened after the alleged breakup? Even though there was supposed to be trouble at Comic-Con, Roberts and Peters' relationship made news for years. They are said to have split up in 2015, gotten back together in 2016, and then finally broken up for good in 2019, as per a report by Page Six. Turner later worked with Peters, starring with him in "X-Men: Apocalypse" (2016) and "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" (2019). Neither actor has ever said in public whether Sophie really had anything to do with their breakup, so the story is somewhere between a Hollywood rumor and the truth. What makes this story important? Part of what makes Turner's revelation so interesting is that Emma Roberts' early roles, like "Aquamarine" and "Wild Child," were very popular with young people in the UK, including Turner herself. Fans said that it makes sense that she liked Roberts because they were both very popular at the time, as per a report by Page Six.
