Here’s a look at just how much Sophie Turner has changed over the years.
Sophie Turner started acting at the age of 3
Acting was a lifelong passion for Sophie Turner.
She got her start in the art when she was just 3 years old thanks to her mom.
“I was always creative from the age of about two,” she toldHarper’s Bazaar.
“My best friend and I used to put on plays every time we hung out.
It became something my life revolved around.”
She added, “[Acting] was like breathing to me.”
“I think it was a good decision in the end,” she said.
Long before she was cast inGame of Thrones, Turner participated in youth theater productions.
At the beginning, though, Turner didn’t take the audition very seriously.
Turner didn’t even tell her parents that she was auditioning for the show.
“Me and all my friends auditioned,” Turner said.
“We just thought it was kind of a fun, kind of jokey thing to do.
You have to let her give it a go.”
“They definitely keep me grounded,” she told theTelegraphin 2015.
I need that."
The pair swiftly bonded, immediately clicking at their chemistry read.
“We were pretty much best friends from that second on,” Turner toldRolling Stone.
I had father figures on the show, like the camera man and the grips and the props guys.
Brotherly figures hundreds of them."
A slowed-down metabolism is just one of theways that every woman’s body changes in her 20s.
“I wish I’d had the university experience,” she said onThe Graham Norton Showin 2019.
She added, “I’m happy with myGame of Thronesexperience.
I don’t think I missed out on too much.”
“I just don’t know when I will have time,” she said.
They are the people that I trust."
In this way, Turner says she’s a lot like herGame of Thronescharacter, Sansa Stark.
“I needed to get in shape and quick!”
Turner proved that she was tough and dedicated to her craft, going into extreme training mode.
Turner’s journey echoed those of both herX-Mencharacter and herGame of Thronescharacter.
“Both Jean and Sansa are strong characters with such great arcs,” said Turner.
“Neither starts out strong, but they find that power within them, whether literally or metaphorically.”
She had grown up on the show, and theGame of Thronescast had become her second family.
After playing Sansa Stark for so long, just being Sophie was a challenge for the young actress.
“I’m losing the character I’ve played so long.”
“I’ve been trying to figure out what I like to do for myself,” she said.
Maybe I should find some hobbies.'
I’m passionate about lots of things.
I’ll sit in my house in New York and paint.
And I’m doing ballet again."
“I think once you’ve found the right person, you just know.
I feel like I’m much older a soul than I am in age.
I feel like I’ve lived enough life to know.
I’ve met enough guys to know I’ve met enough girls to know.
I don’t feel 22.
I feel like 27, 28.”
“Everyone experiments,” said the actress.
“It’s part of growing up.
I love a soul, not a gender.”
She ended up tying the knot with Joe Jonas in 2019, after two years of dating.
The couple met through the magic of social media.
That “out of the blue” message clearly worked.
“He’s lovely,” said Turner.
“He’s just the funniest.
He’s the most fun, energetic, positive person I’ve ever seen.
I’m pessimistic, so we balance each other out.”
Jonas is more than just a loving husband.
Turner also credits the singer with helping her turn her life around.
“That was something, him doing that.
I think he kind of saved my life, in a way.”
Turner grew into a young woman who cares about social justice.
Turner is a big supporter of the #MeToo movement.
“It should be about playing a role.
So why should all actresses have to be stick-thin and look beautiful all the time?”
“Why does the audience have to fall in love with her?
What if she’s a serial killer?
F*** that s***.”
