Revision as of 09:02, 7 July 2020

Sophie Belinda Jonas (née Turner; born 21 February 1996) is an English actress. She made her television debut in HBO's Game of Thrones as Sansa Stark. She was part of the initial starring cast and remained a member of the starring cast for the eighth season.

Early life

Sophie Belinda Turner was born in England on 21 February 1996, the daughter of Sally, a nursery school teacher, and Andrew, who works for a pallet distribution company.[1] She moved to Chesterton, Warwickshire when she was 2 years old. She attended Warwick Prep School until she was 11, and later attended the independent The King's High School for Girls.[2] Turner has been a member of the theatre company Playbox Theatre Company since she was 3 years old.[3] She has two older brothers, James and Will, whom she considers among her best friends (alongside co-star Maisie Williams).[4] Her twin died before birth.[5]

At age 11, Turner was on track to become a prima ballerina, but she turned down a spot with London's prestigious Royal Ballet School in order to pursue an acting career.

Personal life

In October 2017 Sophie Turner officially announced her engagement to singer Joe Jonas through Instagram.[6] They were married on May 1, 2019, right after the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, in Las Vegas, Nevada.[7] They repeated their vows on 29 June 2019 in the presence of friends and family in France.[8] Maisie Williams was her maid of honour.[9]

Game of Thrones

Turner was cast as Sansa Stark when she was 13 years old when a nation-wide talent search canvassed her school in rural Warwickshire, England. She continued to live at her parents' home during the filming of the earlier seasons of the TV series; alternating between six months of filming and six months at home. By Season 6 she bought an apartment in London, but she said she's only stayed there for a total of maybe two weeks, as a stop-over point when she is traveling for public appearances or to use the airport.

Regarding her character, Turner said in The Sunday Times before the Season 4 premiere:

"She's relatable to because she’s such a realistic character...I think she’s like young girls today — they read magazines, they look at models, they’ve got social media telling them how to act. That's who Sansa is. She's looked at the queen, she's looked at Margaery Tyrell, and she idolizes them. All she wants is to become them. She’s like every 12-year-old girl who wants to be a celebrity — it's the same adolescence as everyone else, but a few hundred years ago. In an alternative universe. With dragons."[10]

Turner actually has "naturally baby blonde hair", so her hair had to be dyed for Sansa's auburn hair.[11] The Starks have black hair, while the Tullys have auburn hair, and Sansa is stated in the books to take after her mother Catelyn Tully in appearance. When Sansa flees to the Vale with Littlefinger, she dyes her hair black to hide her true identity (corresponding to the end of Season 4 in the TV series).

On January 23, 2015, it was confirmed by director Bryan Singer that Sophie would appear in X-Men: Apocalypse (which is set in the 1980s) as young Jean Grey.[12] Turner later speculated that the "Dark Sansa" persona played a role in her casting.[13]

Trivia

  • During Season 6, having now reached age 20, Turner stands 5'9" tall.[14]
  • Sophie's favorite movie is Anchorman.[15]
