Why Sophie Turner Doesn’t Want Her Daughters To Follow In Her Hollywood Footsteps: 'They’re Not Acting!’

Although Sophie Turnerstepped into the spotlight at a young age, the actress has been vocal about not wanting her daughters to tread the same path.

The "Game of Thrones" star went through a divorce, leaving her and her ex-husband, Joe Jonas, sharing custody of their children.

Despite the recent shake-ups in her life, Turner's love for a good night out did not take a hit. Though one of those nights out took a dramatic turn.

In an interview with Flaunt Magazine, the 29-year-old opened up about her experiences, disclosing her stance on whether her daughters should pursue acting. Without mincing words, Turner shared her worries for child stars, especially in this age. 

"I look at the kids who are about to be in the new 'Harry Potter' and I just want to give them a hug and say, 'Look, it's going to be okay, but don't go anywhere near [social media],'" she warned. 

Having lived the child star life, the "Another Me" star continued, "Stay friends with your home friends, keep living at home with your family, make sure your parents are your chaperones—it's so important to have that grounding adjacent to the big, crazy stuff that you do."

When the mother of two was asked what she would do if her daughters followed in her footsteps as actresses, "Oh God, they're not acting!"she exclaimed, "Not until they're at least 25!"

The "Thirteenth Tale" star's concerns are not unfounded but based on lived experiences.

Turner was cast to play Sansa Stark at 13 years old in the award-winning series, "Game of Thrones." The show was the talk of the town for years, but with the fame and recognition came several battles. 

While in the earlier seasons of the show, social media was just gaining recognition, as time went by, Turner shared that she "had to adjust" to being in the spotlight and the scrutiny that came with it. 

She revealed that her mental health suffered serious damage as a result. She suffered from depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder. "It almost destroyed me on numerous occasions," she confessed.

The "Trust" star recounted that therapy "saved her life" and she still thinks it's vital to this day. "One of the most important things to me in my life is talking about mental health: it's vital." 

Despite Turner's expressive love for her children, her parenting style was recently called into question by a critic on Instagram following a post she made.

Per The Blast, Turner posted a couple of pictures and videos she made detailing her night out at a Liam Gallagher concert with a friend.

In response, an individual commented, "Lmfao, I think she has forgotten that she has two kids." Turner fired back, putting the critic in their place.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves. So… Get this… There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day," she wrote.

This isn't the first time Turner's role as a mother has been a topic of public discussion. Last year, the "Joan" actress had to clarify a comment she made about motherhood.

Per The Blast, the mother of two said in an interview that being a single mother was a "struggle," and many thought the comment was about her life.

However, the "Dark Phoenix" star took to her Instagram stories to clarify what she referred to as a "misquote." She stated that she was referring to her role in the upcoming series "Joan," not herself.

"I have been widely misquoted today in publications where I have stated that 'it's such a struggle being a single mother," Turner said. "I'd like to clarify that I was talking about the character of Joan that I play and was not referring to myself, which is obvious from the original interview." 

It would seem that with Turner, it is one thing or the other. On one of her usual night-outs, she made an innocent wave which turned into something else.

As reported by The Blast, Turner shared that she went out with a childhood friend who begged her to greet an actor they had spotted. She mentioned that she didn't know the star and just casually waved at him from across the room.

Unfortunately, her little wave ended his engagement to another celebrity that night. 

"Turns out, they broke their engagement off that night because of my [wave]. I didn't realize I held this power," she confessed.

She recounted that after the wave, later that evening, she went across the dance floor to tell an unnamed actress how much she admired her. However, she was met with harshness.

"Can you stop f-cking flirting with my fiancé?" The actress snapped. Confused at her reaction, Turner asked who she meant, and the actress pointed at the man she had waved to earlier. Turner, however, didn't share the identity of the celebrity couple.
