Kit Harington on filming intimate scenes with Sophie Turner after playing siblings on 'Game Of Thrones': 'It was GROSS but...'

Kit Harington has shared his unusual experience of filming intimate scenes with his 'Game of Thrones' sister, Sophie Turner. The two actors became household names for playing Stark siblings in the hit HBO fantasy series.

However, years later, the two reunited for writer-director Natasha Kermani's gothic horror film 'The Dreadful', where they coincidentally would play lovers.While both were visibly excited about the script, they were caught on the back foot over the multiple kissing scenes and other intimate scenes that neither had anticipated. Speaking during a conversation with former Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage on Varitey's Actors on Actors, Harington praised Turner's growth as an actor, but admitted that shooting the intimate scenes were 'gross'."Obviously I've known her since being a child," Harington said. "She feels like my younger sister. It was gross but it was fine..."Kit then went on to praise Turner's performance, saying, "She's an amazing actor. I know we all know that, but she was a child when she got cast (in GOT) but she is phenomenal."Dinklage echoed the sentiment, recalling their scenes together playing husband and wife on the drama series. "We had so much stuff together, the Tyrion and Sansa stuff.

I would look around and think this is the greatest actress on this f****** show. Because what she was giving me was so still. She was always so prepared and so fun to play across."Kit was not the only one to find the intimate scenes 'vile'. Turner previously revealed during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, "I'm producing it, so the director was asking me, 'Who do you think?' And immediately, the first person I thought of was Kit.""And so, I sent the script to Kit, and he kind of sent me a message back going like, 'Yeah, I'd love to, but this is going to be really f***ing weird, Soph.' And I was like, what is he talking about? Then I was reading it, and I'm like, 'Kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex scene.' And then I'm like, oh shoot, that's my brother. But it's such a good script that he's like, 'We kind of have to do it.'"The actress admitted that filming those moments proved just as awkward as they had anticipated.

"So, then we put it out of our minds, and then we get on set, and it's the first kissing scene. And we are both retching, like really, it is vile. It was the worst, another really bad moment in my career," Turner said.'The Dreadful' follows Anne, played by Turner, and her mother-in-law Morwen, portrayed by Marcia Gay Harden, who live an isolated existence on the fringes of society. Their lives are disrupted when a mysterious man from their past, played by Harington, returns and sets in motion a series of events that changes Anne's life forever.
