Sophie Turner and Kit Harington shared an awkwardly hilarious moment while filming a kissing scene for their upcoming horror movie ‘The Dreadful’. The two, best known as on-screen siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow from ‘Game of Thrones’, leaned into their roles as lovers despite their long-shared TV family history. The behind-the-scenes clip quickly went viral, capturing a moment that perfectly sums up the weirdness of their reunion.
The kiss that went wrong
An Entertainment Tonight video shows Sophie Turner and Kit Harington locking lips passionately in a lush outdoor setting during the scene. An off-screen director calls “Cut. Beautiful.” Kit Harington immediately turns away and gags in exaggerated disgust. Sophie Turner puffs her cheeks and pretends to retch, looking genuinely queasy. The crew erupts in laughter at their over-the-top reactions.The footage dropped just before ‘The Dreadful’ hits select theaters. Director Natasha Kermani raved about the pairing. She said, “Seeing Kit and Sophie back together on screen was a unique delight. Their chemistry and friendship are unmistakable.”Harington revealed in an E! News interview that Turner sent him the script first. He recalled, “She was the one who forwarded the movie to me, and somehow didn’t perceive what I saw in it. I thought, ‘These characters are lovers, right?’ It felt very strange.” Turner spilled more on Late Night with Seth Meyers in August 2025 while promoting Trust. She quoted Harington’s response: “He kind of replied, saying, ‘Yeah, I’d love to, this is going to be f—ing weird, Soph.‘”Turner first dished on the kiss during that Meyers appearance. She said they tried blocking out their Game of Thrones past. “We tried to put it out of our minds, then we got on set. When it came to the first kissing scene, we were both retching. Honestly, it was disgusting. It was the worst experience.” She even compared it unfavorably to filming with real cockroaches on Trust.
Extra awkward bits
Harington opened up earlier about the “embarrassing” vibe. He mentioned standing on an apple box to match Turner’s height for the shot. His ‘Game of Thrones’ character always seemed the least likely for romance opposite Sansa. Still, both actors gushed about the fun of teaming up again like old pals. Harington called it a family reunion on set. The gag reel has fans cracking up over the sibling-to-lovers switch.
