Kit Harrington recently shared that filming romantic scenes with former Game of Thrones co-star Sophie Turner in the upcoming gothic horror film The Dreadful felt quite awkward. The height difference between the two led to comical moments, such as Harrington needing an apple box to kiss Turner, who is significantly taller. Despite the initial embarrassment, Harrington was surprised when Turner suggested him for the role, given their on-screen sibling history. Turner echoed this sentiment, recalling how strange it felt to portray lovers after playing siblings for years. Set during the Wars of the Roses, The Dreadful has no official release date yet.

What are the challenges of playing romantic scenes with former co-stars?

Playing romantic scenes with former co-stars can be challenging due to established dynamics and previous roles that may cause discomfort. The actors must navigate any lingering associations with their previous characters while ensuring authenticity in their new roles.

The Dreadful features themes similar to those in Game of Thrones, as it also explores treachery and the complexities of love during turbulent historical times. Fans of Harrington and Turner can expect a unique take on their chemistry that has transitioned from sibling relationships to a romantic narrative.
