Sophie Turner opened up about her complicated feelings towards Game of Thrones and shared why she has walked away from the show that made her a global star.
The actress, who played Sansa Stark for eight seasons, admitted that she can no longer watch the series.
During a performance at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Sophie revealed that even hearing the famous theme song brings back intense emotions.
She said the music gives her “PTSD” and makes her watch the show in a completely different way now.
When asked if she ever watches Game of Thrones again, Sophie clearly said no, explaining that she did once watch the first season with her parents, but it wasn’t for long.
“But no, I don’t see it. I mean, hearing the Game of Thrones theme tune gives me PTSD. I see it completely differently,” she shared.
Sophie also spoke briefly about the huge impact the series had on television and fans around the world, although she personally feels distant from it today.
The actress then turned her focus to future work, teasing her upcoming role as Lara Croft in Amazon’s Tomb Raider series and joking about the intense training she’s been doing for months.
Although she avoids watching the show again, Sophie said she wouldn’t completely rule out returning as Sansa Stark.
