Kit Harington admitted it was “gross” to film sex scenes with Sophie Turner for their horror movie The Dreadful given their past on Game of Thrones.
“It was weird,” Harington, 39, confessed in a recent interview with fellow Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage for CNN’s Actors on Actors.
Harington and Turner, 30, essentially grew up together on the set of Game of Thrones, in which they played Jon Snow and Sansa Stark, respectively. For most of the show’s run, Jon and Sansa believed they were siblings before it came out that they were actually first cousins.
Still, the pair’s bond on and off the Game of Thrones set made it awkward when Turner asked Harington to play her lover in The Dreadful. (Turner produced and starred in the gothic horror film, in which Harington portrayed a sinister stranger who reemerged in the lives of Anne and her mother-in-law Morwen.)

“She sent me the script and I said, ‘Sophie, there’s a lot of us getting it on,’” Harington revealed. “She hadn’t seen that. She just said, ‘Yeah, Kit would be good for this part.”
Harington initially had doubts about accepting the role in The Dreadful because he’s “known [Turner] since she was a child” and considers her like “a younger sister.”
“We did it. It was gross but it was fine,” he insisted. “She’s an amazing actor. I know we all know that but she was a child when she [started on Game of Thrones]. She is phenomenal!”

“I’d just got the script for this amazing gothic horror called The Dreadful, and I was reading through all the characters,” she explained to host Seth Meyers. “And I’m producing it, so the director was asking me, ‘Who do you think?’ And immediately, the first person I thought of was Kit.”
She went on, “So, I sent the script to Kit, and he kind of sent me a message back going like, ‘Yeah, I’d love to, but this is going to be really f***ing weird, Soph.’ And I was like, what is he talking about? Then I was reading it, and I’m like, ‘Kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex scene.’ And then I’m like, oh shoot, that’s my brother. But it’s such a good script that he’s like, ‘We kind of have to do it.’”

Turner joked that the great script for The Dreadful didn’t make filming the love scenes any less awkward.
“We put it out of our minds, and then we get on set, and it’s the first kissing scene,” she recalled. “And we are both retching, like really, it is vile. It was the worst, another really bad moment in my career.”
The Dreadful was released in February.
