Is nothing sacred in Hollywood anymore? Kit Harington just threw his former Game of Thrones co-star Sophie Turner under the bus in the most awkward way possible, and honey, we are LIVING for the tea!
The 39-year-old heartthrob recently sat down with fellow GOT legend Peter Dinklage for CNN’s Actors on Actors and absolutely spilled the piping hot gossip about filming intimate scenes with Turner, 30, for their upcoming horror flick The Dreadful. And let us tell you, it was anything BUT romantic. “Gross,” Harington declared with the enthusiasm of someone describing spoiled milk. “It was weird,” he admitted, because apparently reuniting with your former on-screen nephew to simulate passion is just, well, CRINGEY.
Listen, we get it. These two spent YEARS playing relatives in Westeros—Jon Snow and Sansa Stark had some seriously complicated family vibes—so the transition to steamy bedroom scenes is giving all the uncomfortable family reunion energy we never asked for. The chemistry that was once icy and tense is now supposed to be smoldering? Girl, that’s a hard pass for Kit, evidently!
But here’s where it gets juicier. Harington didn’t hold back in his interview, basically admitting that working with Turner felt awkward AF. “It was weird,” he repeated, because apparently once wasn’t enough to drive the point home. We’re wondering if Sophie Turner got wind of these comments yet, and if so, is she FUMING? Because calling someone’s acting partner “gross” during a major press junket is certainly a choice.
The horror film The Dreadful is supposed to be their big comeback project together, but after these comments, we’re wondering if there’s going to be some serious tension on set. Nothing says “let’s work together again” like publicly admitting the whole experience made you uncomfortable, am I right?
Fans are absolutely TORN over this revelation. Some are defending Kit, saying it’s totally natural to feel weird about such scenes with former castmates. Others think he was unnecessarily harsh about his co-star. And honestly? We’re just here for all of it.
The real question is: will Sophie Turner respond? Will this affect their working relationship? And most importantly, will The Dreadful even see the light of day after this awkward confession? Only time will tell, bestie.
What do you think? A) Kit was totally out of line calling the scenes “gross” B) He was just being honest about an uncomfortable situation
