Sophie Turnerand Kit Harington ditch their'Game of Thrones' brother-sister rolesfor an awkward, romantic kiss in the gothic horror movie 'The Dreadful.'
A behind-the-scenes clipreleased by Entertainment Tonightreveals that the pair pretended to gag after the director called 'cut.' Their laugh-filled stunt, a testament to their chemistry, gives a glimpse into the camaraderie that keeps them on their feet.
The twoGoT starsare reunited on the film set after years of friendship. Harington shared how he saw the script for the horror feature.
'She was the one who sent that movie to me and somehow didn't see what I saw in it,'he told E! News in an exclusive interview. 'I was like, 'These guys, these are lovers, right?' I felt very odd about that.'
The words are suspended in the air, as a delicate bridge between the two actors. Their shared history on GoT makes the change both inevitable and awkward.
The best talked about is during a kiss scene that required one of them to climb on top of an apple box to reach the other.
'It was slightly embarrassing, having to get on an apple box to kiss her because she's about a foot taller than me,' Harington said. 'But apart from that, my dignity was pretty intact,' he laughed.
The physical height difference is a minuscule, almost laughably small detail that takes a romantic cliché and turns it into a strangely real and relatable reality. Kit's humour helps to make the awkwardness soft.
Sophie shared her own feelings about the role.In a Vogue interview, she said, 'It's really weird for all of us' that she and Harington are playing 'lovers' in the new horror film. The line replicates the confusion that fans and the actors themselves are dealing with.
On Late Night with Seth Meyers, Sophie joked about the simplicity of the script: I'm like, 'Oh, shoot, that's my brother.'
