Sophie Turner Blames That 'Game of Thrones' Coffee Cup Mistake on 'Lazy' Kit Harington

Years from now, people will probably remember two major things from Game of Thrones’ final season: the conclusion was divisive, and the crew somehow left a modern-day coffee up right in the middle of a scene. Even over a month after the episode with the mistake aired, titled “The Last of the Starks,” the incident is still a hot topic. Sophie Turner, for instance, is now discussing who’s to blame for it.

The 23-year-old actress previously placed the blame on her co-star Emilia Clarke, who starred in the scene featuring the cup, during an appearance last month on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. She jokingly stated, “So I’m just gonna go with — I mean, look who it’s placed in front of. Emilia Clarke. She’s the culprit!” For her part, Clarke even jokingly took responsibility for the gaffe, posting a photo on Instagram from the set which showed her holding a plastic coffee cup.

Well now, Turner has changed her mind. She’s instead blaming Kit Harington for the mistake, calling him “lazy.” During a recent appearance on Conan, the Sansa Stark actress began with, “I hear this every day of my life, this coffee cup thing, so it’s good to know that the coffee cup got more press than the final season altogether.” She continued by explaining why Harington must be at fault, saying:

“The coffee cup was where Kit’s chair was. First I blamed it on Emilia, but I don’t think Emilia would do that. Kit is lazy and I think he would have done that. It was in front of Kit’s chair and then obviously he moved and this picture was taken and it looked like it was in my seat, but I wasn’t there. It was Kit. It was 100 percent Kit.”

We’ll likely never find out whose fault it truly was, and the coffee cup has since been removed from the episode. But screenshots live forever, so we’re sure this mistake will never be forgotten by the Thrones fan base.
