Sophie Turner and Kit Harington are having a dreadful time together.
The two actors, who grew close playing siblings Sansa and Jon Stark on Game of Thrones, evidently struggled while sharing an onscreen smooch in their new movie The Dreadful.
In a behind-the-scenes video shared by Entertainment Tonight, Turner, 29, and Harington, 39, can be seen kissing in character before playfully retching after the director calls “cut!” The crew can then be heard laughing as the two actors pretend to be sick.

In a July 2025 interview with Vogue, Turner jokingly apologized to Game of Thrones fans, saying, "It's really weird for all of us” that she and Harington are playing "lovers” in the new horror film.

On Late Night with Seth Meyers in August 2025, the mother of two recalled that she and her old friend were “both retching” during their intimate scenes. Looking at the script for The Dreadful before shooting, she saw nothing but "kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex,” she quipped. "I'm like, 'Oh, shoot ... that's my brother.'"

More recently, Harington told E! News that his intimate scenes with his former onscreen sister were uncomfortable for a different reason.
"It was slightly embarrassing, having to get on an apple box to kiss her because she's about a foot taller than me," he said in November 2025. "But other than that, my dignity was pretty intact."

In September 2024, Turner explained to The Times that she was the one who suggested the Industry star for the part.
“They were trying to find someone for that role, and I was like, ‘You can’t not have Kit,’” she said at the time. “It’s set around the time of the Wars of the Roses, so we’ll probably be floating about in robes on clifftops again.”
The Game of Thrones cast has remained close since the HBO fantasy drama’s conclusion in 2019. Harington has been married to costar Rose Leslie since 2018 and they share two children.
The Dreadful, from writer-director Natasha Kermani, also stars Marcia Gay Harden, Laurence O'Fuarain and Jonathan Howard. The Gothic horror drama is in select theaters and on digital Friday, Feb. 20.
