Sophie Turner, best known for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, was left visibly shaken during the filming of her upcoming series Joan. The actress reportedly had a strong physical reaction to a particularly gruesome scene, with sources claiming she was seen retching on set.
The incident occurred while shooting a disturbing sequence involving a hyper-realistic prop. The level of detail was so convincing that it triggered an involuntary response not just from Turner, but from several crew members as well.
Behind the Scenes of the Shocking Moment
According to insiders, the production team had gone to extraordinary lengths to create authentic-looking props for the crime drama. While this attention to detail typically enhances performances, in this instance it proved too much for some cast and crew to handle.
"Sophie is a complete professional," revealed a source close to the production. "But this particular scene involved something so lifelike that even veteran crew members were affected. It was one of those rare moments where the realism actually worked against us."
Turner's Return to Television
Joan marks Turner's first major television role since Game of Thrones concluded in 2019. The series follows the story of a notorious jewel thief in 1980s London, with Turner playing the titular character.
While the show promises plenty of glamour and intrigue, this incident serves as a reminder of the sometimes unpleasant realities of filmmaking. The production team has since adjusted their approach to similar scenes to prevent further discomfort among the cast.
