On Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thursday, August 14, 2025, Sophie Turner joined the host to talk about her new movie and what happened during filming some of the scenes with Kit Harington. As Game of Thrones fans would know, Turner and Harington played siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow in the hit series.

Their previous sibling dynamic, according to the GOT star, had made things complicated after discovering that they had a few love scenes in The Dreadful. She told Meyers both their reactions after taking a closer look at the script, saying:

"I'm like, 'Oh, shoot... that's my brother.' But it's such a good script that he was like, 'We kind of have to do it.'"

Sophie Turner said that one of the first scenes they had to film for the movie had a kissing scene, to which she recalled that there was "retching" involved in both their parts. She added:

"We are both retrching. Like really, it is vile—it was the worst."

She compared the feeling of kissing her Game of Thrones co-star for The Dreadful as the skin-crawling scene of her latest thriller, Trust, that involves filming with real cockroaches and rats, which crawled on her arms and legs.
