Turner had bonded especially well with Jennifer Lawrence.
Sophie Turner, best known for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, joined the X-Men cast in the latest movie installment. The actress was welcomed to the set by some big-name actors, including Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence.
Turner said in an interview with Glamour magazine, “They were already an established cast but they became my best friends. Jennifer was so cool. She gave me advice – nothing to do with acting, stuff like how to de-bloat yourself.”
As for her and the cast from Game of Thrones: “[A typical night out] normally consists of going to a bar and getting pretty trashed. Me, Maisie and Alfie are first on the dancefloor. It’s so much fun [on set]. Alfie and I play truth or dare. He got me to stand next to the director and say I’d kill for more screen time.”
Turner also noted that as the Game of Thrones series progressed, her character has also progressed.
“She was vulnerable and naive in the beginning – a bit like me – but the hardships she has gone through have made her a stronger person. She still comes out fighting. I admire her for that. I love badass women.”
The 20-year-old star does not allow some of the dark storylines and acting required for Game of Thrones get to her as a young, up and coming actress. “I find it easy to distance myself. Between takes, the cast always bring the good energy back.”
X-Men: Apocalypse has so far earned an estimated $484 million with an initial $178-million budget.
