Harington: Filming Intimate Scenes with 'Sister' Sophie Turner Was 'Gross'

Kit Harington has candidly discussed the peculiar experience of filming intimate scenes with Sophie Turner for their new gothic horror film, 'The Dreadful.' The actors, famously known for portraying siblings Jon Snow and Sansa Stark in 'Game of Thrones,' found themselves in the unexpected role of lovers in their latest project. Harington described the experience of shooting these scenes with Turner, whom he considered a younger sister, as 'gross,' though he acknowledged it was manageable.

Turner herself admitted that she was the one who suggested Harington for the part, despite foreseeing the inherent awkwardness. She recounted sending him the script and his initial response highlighting how 'f extit{ extbf{***}}ing weird' it would be. Upon reading the script, Turner realized the extent of the intimate content and the peculiar situation they would be in, playing former siblings as romantic partners.

Both actors expressed significant discomfort during the filming of these scenes, with Turner recalling a particularly bad moment involving their first kissing scene on set. 'The Dreadful' centers on Anne (Turner) and her mother-in-law, whose isolated lives are disrupted by the return of a mysterious man from their past, played by Harington, leading to life-altering events.
