Kit Harington, Sophie Turner React Humorously to Kiss in ‘The Dreadful’ Scene
Kit Harington and Sophie Turner, known for their on-screen roles as Jon Snow and Sansa Stark in HBO’s acclaimed series, Game of Thrones, are reuniting in a new film titled The Dreadful. However, their chemistry isn’t without its awkward moments, especially during a recent kissing scene.
Humorous Reactions to the Kiss in ‘The Dreadful’
A behind-the-scenes clip shared by Entertainment Tonight captures the moment Harington and Turner experienced an unexpected reaction after filming a kiss. Upon hearing the director call for a cut with “Cut. Beautiful,” both actors began to gag, reflecting the peculiar situation they found themselves in. This amusing reaction highlights the challenges of transitioning from portraying siblings to lovers on screen.
An Unusual Casting Transition
The Dreadful features Turner as Anne, alongside Marcia Gay Harden portraying her mother-in-law, Morwen. Set in a desolate environment, the film tells the story of Anne’s life disrupted by the return of a man from her past, played by Harington. Their history adds complexity to their roles, making the transition from kinship to romance particularly strange.
