New Clip Proves Sophie Turner's Claim That She Gagged Kissing Kit Harington On Set

In August 2025, The Blast reported on Sophie Turner's claim that she physically gagged when kissing her former "Game of Thrones" co-star Kit Harington during filming.

Six months later, a new clip of the pair executing the intimate scene appears to confirm that Turner did not make up the story.

The awkwardness may not come as a surprise to longtime fans, who would have watched the two actors portraying siblings in "Game of Thrones" for nearly a decade.

Ironically, Turner also serves as a producer on "The Dreadful" and played a direct role in the addition of Harington to the film's cast lineup.

During an appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" in August 2025, Turner opened up about what it was like filming intimate scenes with Harington for their horror film "The Dreadful."

The actress told the audience that both she and Harington had to mentally prepare themselves before shooting got underway.

"We put it out our minds, and then we get on set," Turner recalled. "And it's the first kissing scene, and we are both retching. Like, really, it is vile. It was the worst."

Turner went on to joke that the experience was somehow worse than dealing with cockroaches on the set of "Trust," the thriller film she was promoting on "Late Night."

Just days before "The Dreadful" premieres in select theaters, Entertainment Tonight shared footage of Turner and Harington filming one of their kissing scenes.

The Jon Snow actor had previously described the experience as "bizarre," and claimed that his character in "Game of Thrones" was "probably the least up for incest."

The irony was not lost on viewers, many of whom referenced the complicated reputation of his character's family in the HBO fantasy series.

"It looks like Jon Snow is finally accepting his Targaryen roots," one user quipped on X.

Another wrote, "The real horror in 'The Dreadful' isn't the plague… It's Kit & Sophie having to film that scene after 8 seasons of sibling energy."

Turner and Harington reunite in the period horror film "The Dreadful," which is set against the backdrop of a plague-ravaged landscape.

The story follows a young woman living in isolation with her mother-in-law as she waits for her husband to return from war.

The arrival of an injured man from the battlefield himself appears to set off a curse and threatens to reopen wounds from the past.

First-look photos of Turner and Harington in character were published by Entertainment Weekly in January.

Director Natasha Kermani reflected on reuniting the former "GoT" stars for the project.

"To see Kit and Sophie back together onscreen was a special thrill," she told EW. "Their friendship and chemistry is impossible to miss."

Although she ended up gagging while shooting a kissing scene with Harington in "The Dreadful," Turner was in fact the one who first recommended him for the role.

In an interview with E! News, Harington explained how he came to join the project, revealing   Turner had sent him the script.

"She was the one that sent that movie to me and somehow didn't see what I saw in it," he said. "I was like, 'These guys, these are lovers, right?' I felt very odd about that."

Turner also confirmed this version of events during her feature on "Late Night with Seth Meyers."

With "The Dreadful" almost in theaters and the "awkward" experience with Harington behind her, Turner can channel most of her energy toward her upcoming "Tomb Raider" reboot series.

The Emmy-nominated actress is set to bring iconic video game character Lara Croft back to life in a new live-action adaptation.

The character was famously portrayed by Angelina Jolie in the film installments of the early 2000s.

The upcoming series is developed by "Fleabag" creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge and will stream on Amazon Prime Video.

While no official release date has been announced yet, production is ongoing.
