Sophie Turner has opened up about her complicated feelings towards Game of Thrones and explained why she walked away from the series that made her a global star.
The actress, who played Sansa Stark for eight seasons, admitted she can no longer watch the series.
During an appearance on Tonight’s show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Sophie revealed that even hearing the famous theme song brings back intense emotions.
She said the music gave her “PTSD” and made her view the show in a very different way now.
When asked if she was ever rewatching Game of Thrones, Sophie clearly said no, explaining that she had already watched the first season with her parents, but it didn’t last long.
“But no, I can’t watch it. I mean, hearing the Game of Thrones theme song gives me PTSD. I see it totally differently,” she shared.
Sophie also spoke briefly about the huge impact the show had on television and fans around the world, even though she personally feels distant from it today.
The actress then focused on her 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’s avoiding rewatching the series, Sophie said she wouldn’t completely rule out returning as Sansa Stark.
