Get ready for a thrilling tale of Hollywood twists and turns! Kit Harington's journey from Game of Thrones sibling to on-screen lover with Sophie Turner is a story that will leave you intrigued.
The talented duo, who portrayed half-siblings on the iconic HBO series, have now taken on a new role as star-crossed lovers in the upcoming gothic horror film, The Dreadful. But here's where it gets controversial... or at least a little weird, as Harington himself described it.
In a recent interview with E! News, Harington revealed that Turner was the one who sent him the script for The Dreadful, but she seemed to miss the romantic connection between their characters. "I was like, 'These guys, these are lovers, right?' I felt very odd about that," he confessed. It's an understandable reaction, given their on-screen sibling dynamic in Game of Thrones.
Despite the initial awkwardness, Harington embraced the challenge. "It was slightly embarrassing, having to get on an apple box to kiss her because she's about a foot taller than me," he joked. But the actor quickly added, "Other than that, my dignity was pretty intact."
And this is the part most people miss: beyond the awkwardness, Harington valued the opportunity to reconnect with Turner. "It was a good chance to be with her again and work together," he said. "Our friendship ignited once more on set, and it felt like being with family."
In The Dreadful, Turner plays Anne, a woman living a solitary life on the outskirts of society with her mother-in-law, Morwen (played by Marcia Gay Harden). But when a man from their past, portrayed by Harington, returns, he sets off a chain of horrifying events that will forever alter Anne's life.
So, what do you think? Is this a bold move for the actors, or a step too far? Should Hollywood stars be cautious about taking on roles that might blur the lines of their personal relationships? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
