Sophie Turner finds herself in a precarious situation - watching Game of Thrones with her own family. The 29-year-old actress, who played Sansa Stark in the hit HBO series, admits that it's been an uncomfortable experience.
For Turner, who has since moved on to more dramatic roles like Jean Grey in X-Men: Apocalypse and Zara in Steal, a Prime Video drama about corporate heists, her portrayal of Sansa was a pivotal part of her early career. However, she now acknowledges that playing the anxious and aristocratic character at such a young age was not ideal.
"It's very embarrassing," Turner says, reflecting on her experience. "Imagine if you were learning to sing, and all your lessons had been filmed and broadcast." She compares herself to an actor trying to learn lines for the first time, only to find that she needs to re-learn them when the real thing comes around.
Turner credits Game of Thrones with catapulting her to stardom, but also admits that it made her realize how important momentum is in a career. After taking a break from acting following its conclusion, Turner returned to screen with Steal, which offers a departure from the high-stakes world she's become accustomed to.
Despite struggling with comedy, Turner has expressed interest in exploring lighter roles. "I actually think comedy is a lot harder than drama," she states, revealing her scientific approach to the genre.
Steal, which premiered on Prime Video earlier this month, showcases Turner as the lead character Zara - an office drone who finds herself at the center of a corporate heist. The film features a talented cast, including Archie Madekwe, and has been praised for its originality and tense atmosphere.
Turner's journey back to acting marks an exciting new chapter in her career, one that promises high-stakes action sequences, thrilling plot twists, and some much-needed levity - perhaps even on the horizon.

. She's like "hey I was a huge part of Game of Thrones, but now it's kinda awkward watching it with my fam" . I mean, can you imagine having your most iconic roles broadcast for everyone to see? It's like trying to learn lines for the first time all over again 
. But on the bright side, she's taking a different approach now - comedy! 
She says it's harder than drama, which I think is kinda true 
. Anyway, Steal looks promising and I'm curious to see how Turner rocks her new role 
Game of Thrones catapulted her to stardom but she's now all about that drama life after realizing how important it is to have momentum in ur career 
meanwhile, I'm team Zara all the way from Steal - who else is loving this original corporate heist vibes? 
Turner's willingness to take risks and try out lighter roles like comedy is so inspiring 
she's literally the ultimate reminder that it's never too late to try something new 
what if the entire world saw her try to do comedy after Game of Thrones? 
the irony is real... but i gotta wonder, did HBO ever consider how their show would affect Sophie's mental health while she was playing Sansa? 
anyway i think its cool that shes trying new things now like comedy she's actually funny lol not always but i think she's got potential
. I feel her on the anxiety part, too - imagine having to re-learn those lines for real and not knowing if you can pull it off 
. But hey, at least she took the leap and tried comedy in Steal! That's gotta be super nerve-wracking, but I'm low-key rooting for her 
. Can't wait to see what's next for this talented actress - more action-packed movies or maybe even a few laughs 
. But hey, at least she's being real about it and using it as an opportunity to learn from the experience 
. And can we talk about how amazing she is for taking on lighter roles like Steal? 
! Prime Video just dropped this talented actress and I am HERE. FOR. IT

just read that Sophie Turner had a meltdown watching Game of Thrones with her family lol she's literally trying to relearn lines from when she was 17... can't even imagine having to film yourself laughing at your own mistakes 
Comedy's hard, apparently - I mean, who wouldn't struggle with comedy when you've had Sansa-level anxiety? But hey, good for her trying something new. Maybe she'll find her footing (or a decent joke) now. 
and now she's trying to balance comedy after drama? 
. Steal seems really interesting too, Zara sounds like a great character, cant wait to watch it!
