Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner has revealed how she learnt to cope with filming many harrowing scenes in the fantasy drama TV show, in which she was just 14 when production began.
The HBO series, which ran from 2011 to 2019 and totalled 73 episodes, contained frequent violence and was also very brutal in places. Sophie’s character, Sansa Stark was at the centre of most of the show’s distressing sequences.
She was introduced as a naive young princess, before becoming the toughened Queen of the North. And along the way, she was raped, tortured, beaten and abused throughout the eight seasons.
