Hollywood actress Sophie Turner has shared that she can’t watch her superhit series ‘Game of Thrones’ anymore. The actress revealed that the ‘Game of Thrones’ theme song has given her “PTSD”.
The 29-year-old star portrayed Sansa Stark in all eight seasons of the HBO fantasy show, which ran from 2011 to 2019. Sophie has now disclosed that she “can’t watch” ‘Game of Thrones’ and views the program in a “totally different” light, as reported by ‘Female First UK’.
During an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, the host inquired, “Do you feel the giant impact it’s made on television and the world?” Sophie replied, “I think so? I don’t know.”
When Jimmy asked her, “Do you ever watch it?”, Sophie responded, “No! I mean, maybe like, season one, I watched it with my parents, and then my parents were like, ‘Whoa! No! No, no, no, no!’ But no, I can’t watch it. I mean, hearing the ‘Game of Thrones’ theme tune gives me PTSD. I see it totally different.”
In addition to discussing ‘Game of Thrones’, Sophie, who split from her ex-husband Joe Jonas in 2023, shared details about Amazon’s upcoming show, where she will portray Lara Croft. She hinted, “You’re going to see it on Amazon Prime in a while because we haven’t started shooting yet. I’ve been training since February last year, so I feel like I could probably beat you up right now.”
Regarding her training, when Jimmy asked if she could show the audience any of the moves she had learned, she joked, “You know I was thinking about it, but I’m wearing a skirt, and I don’t want to flash the p*****.”
Although Sophie isn’t keen on re-watching ‘Game of Thrones’, she remains open to reprising her role as Sansa in the future. When asked about a potential return to the series, she told Thedirect.com, “Show me the money. I don’t know, I think it would be hard but also amazing to come back to it. But I feel that I was very happy with the way Sansa ended her story in ‘Game of Thrones’, and no one else was really happy with their ending. I feel like I got a good one, and so I don’t know if I could revisit it.”
She added, “Maybe it would be an utter joy, or maybe it would be trying to cling on to something that was magic back in the day that can’t be recreated. I would have to see a script.”
