Sophie Turner Says Joe Jonas Almost Kissed Her 'Game of Thrones' Body Double
After nearly three years of dating, actress Sophie Turner and musician Joe Jonas finally tied the knot, in an unexpectedly low-key, not to mention surprise, Las Vegas wedding. But just because the fan-favorite couple has been together for a while and are no doubt extremely happy together, that doesn’t mean awkward moments don’t still occur. And one particularly hilarious one happened on the set of Game of Thrones.
Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark in the hit HBO series, recently spoke to Nova's Smallzy's Surgery on the body doubles she’s had on various sets, revealing the one she had for Thrones was seriously her lookalike.
“On Game of Thrones actually I had a photo double that people would do double takes at because she looked so much like me, it was insane,” the 23-year-old actor began. “Even Joe went up to her at one point and tried to give her a kiss and he was like, ‘Oh, sorry, sorry, it’s not Sophie, wrong one!’” Close call, Jonas.
Turner went on to explain that she had stunt doubles for Dark Phoenix, however they didn’t look that similar to her. “They don’t really look like me. First of all, they are much fitter, have much more muscle and just better looking aesthetically in general,” she joked.
While many fans are still angry with Game of Thrones for its less-than-impressive ending, you can’t say the crew didn’t pay attention to detail, when it came to body doubles at least.
