Kit Harington Jokes About “Embarrassing” On-Set Moment With Sophie Turner in The Dreadful
The Stark family reunion won’t be awkward only on the small screen. Kit Harington is reuniting with his Game of Thrones sister Sophie Turner—but this time, they’re playing lovers in the upcoming Gothic horror film The Dreadful.
“She was the one that sent me that movie and somehow didn’t see what I saw in it,” Kit told E! News
in an exclusive interview. “I was like, ‘These guys, these are lovers, right?’ I felt very odd about that.”
Their romantic scenes didn’t just feel strange because of their long-established sibling dynamic. The 38-year-old actor admitted there was another layer to the awkwardness:
“It was a little bit embarrassing that we had to get on an apple box to kiss her as she is about a foot taller than me,” he laughed. “But apart from that, my dignity was pretty much intact.”

“It was a good opportunity to be with her again and collaborate,” he recalled. “What was lovely is that we got on set together and our friendship completely ignited again. It really did feel like being with family. It really did.”
