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.
