Cole Sprouse Photographs Sophie Turner For W Magazine

Sophie Turner is featured in the newest issue of W magazine. Shot by none other than Cole Sprouse, Sophie is in the magazine to promote the new season of Game Of Thrones. Highlights are below.

On fan encounters: “I have had people come up to me and think I am Sansa and treat me as such. I’ve had a few greetings as ‘Lady Stark’. It might be quite jarring to them because they come up to me and expect a stoic, cold person. And then they see me in sh***y shorts and muddy trainers, and they are like, ‘Oh, she definitely doesn’t have handmaidens.'”

On dying her hair for the role of Sansa Stark: “I was a little skeptical about it. Being a thirteen year old girl and going red, of course you kind of get mercilessly teased about it, but I spoke to the producers before I got the role and they explained to me that it is so integral to the part and her ancestry and it’s a subliminal message to the audience about her mother and Robb and then Ayra’s closeness to Jon and her father. Once they explained, I realized it was kind of amazing that for my first role, I got to transform myself. That was pretty cool.”

On her friendship with Maisie Williams: “Maisie and I have the purest form of true, true friendship. She’s been my rock. We are kind of the only two people who know what it feels like to go through this very scenario from pretty much the same background, and ending up where we are and kind of finding ourselves as we go. I think that’s why people respond so well to our friendship, I guess. They see the true, pure love between us.”
