Sophie Turner wasbarely a teenwhen we first met her onGame of Thrones.
Want to know more about the young actress?
Here’s the untold truth of Sophie Turner.
Her twin sister didn’t survive the pregnancy, which pains Turner to this day.
The pain cuts so deep that Turner purposely draws upon it for her most heart-wrenching acting scenes.
A promising dancer
Acting wasn’t Turner’s only love as a child.
So why did she leave behind the tutu life?
Yeah, you could say that.
And besides, Turner feels she wasn’t meant to be a professional dancer.
But that hasn’t stopped her from reuniting with her past love.
WithGame of Thronesproduction finished, she’s been focusing on her hobbies, including ballet, again.
Maybe she’ll become a prima ballerina yet.
And the rest is Westeros history.
Showrunners David Benioff and D.B.
It was a viable fear."
What does the tattoo mean?
That date tattoo not the only matching ink Turner and Williams have considered.
Turner noted, “Maisie and I were like ‘Let’s get this before anyone kills us.'”
it’s possible for you to’t really blame them for thinking that, considering the show’s violent history.
Hopefully Zunni was a better pet than she was a performer.
She was about three feet tall and pretty big."
Zuni lived until she was 11, spending most of her time with Turner’s parents.
She thought of Joffrey as Justin Bieber
There was a time when Turner was a Belieber.
She had a whole wall in her bedroom dedicated to the pop star.
Why Bieber of all people?
“[Sansa] is completely oblivious to who the royal family are,” Turner explained.
“It’s like any Justin Bieber fan they don’t realize Justin has his darkness about him.”
Talk about bad timing.
We were like, Oh, bad day, Dad."
Producer Dan Weiss wasn’t very comfortable either.
Turner said her parents eventually got used to the show’s notorious sex scenes.
And it’s a good thing too because there were a ton of them.
“They knew it was a good-quality show,” Turner toldThe Telegraph.
“If it hadn’t been I don’t think they would have been happy.”
Wigging out
Turner isn’t areal redhead.
She just plays one on TV.
It wasn’t until season seven that she began wearing scarlet wigs instead.
It’s a good thing too.
Turner is happier as a blonde.
But she didn’t completely say goodbye to the red dye job once she went the wig route.
Turner dyed it red again once her hair was healthy for her role as Jean Gray in theX-Menfranchise.
McVeytweeted a photoof himself and Turner with the caption, “Was this all an act?
You’re freaking me out.”
In the case of Sophie Turner and Jonas Brothers singer Joe Jonas, the answer is social media.
Of course, Turner has her own fan base, too.
I like it."
She’s had relationships with women
Sophie Turner didn’t envision herself getting married.
But then she met Joe Jonas on Instagram.
And, well, when you know, you know.
Turner said, “I feel like I’ve lived enough life to know.
I’ve met enough guys to know I’ve met enough girls to know.”
She stated, “Everyone experiments,” noting, “It’s part of growing up.
I love a soul, not a gender.”
If it were up to Turner, Sansa would have done some experimenting on the show as well.
Her ideal mate for Sansa?
Turner shared, “Judging by Sansa’s relationship with Margaery … probably Margaery.”
Wouldn’t that have been something?
She suffers from depression and anxiety
Like so many, Turner has struggled with anxiety and depression.
And she still does.
But she has seen substantial improvement thanks totherapyand medication.
“The fact that I spoke to someone changed my life,” she toldRolling Stone.
Turner toldHarper’s Bazaar, “In the US, they are more willing to talk about their emotions.
Or at least, more willing to talk about mental health.
Turner doesn’t just think it’s a UK issue but also a generational one.
She toldRolling Stone, “My mom still asks me, ‘Why do you need a therapist?'”
The good news is people like Turner are moving the conversation in the right direction.
It’s so good!
I also love Wendy’s Frosty milkshakes.
And then there’s In-N-Out Burger in L.A.
I mean, the best.”
Her tune seemed to change in an interview withEllethe following year.
She admitted her diet was “horrendous” but has improved for the better since she started working onX-Men.
She said she occasionally gives in to a cheat meal now and then, but not many.
And when she does, it’s not fast food that she wants.
“Love love love sausage!”
“Tell the world!”
She has a fear of… drains?
It’s not uncommon for people to walk around drains on the street rather than walk on them.
But that hasn’t kept some, including Sophie Turner, from avoiding them.
She went as far as to label it a “phobia” in an interview withInStyle.
So now I say it every time.
I guess it’s a superstition thing, but it helps."
