Kit Harington and Sophie Turner entertained fans by sharing a behind-the-scenes moment from their upcoming film where they shared a kiss on screen.
The two actors are well-known for their roles as Sansa Stark and Jon Snow in the hit series Game of Thrones. Their humorous reaction following the scene has amused many.
In Game of Thrones, Sansa and Jon initially believe they are siblings, but it is later revealed that Jon is actually the son of Sansa’s deceased aunt. He was raised by Sansa’s father as his own illegitimate son to protect Jon’s true identity.
Apologies for the spoilers, though it’s been quite some time since the series ended.
Harington and Turner now appear together in a forthcoming horror film, portraying a romantic couple instead of relatives. A clip from the production was circulated on social media.
In the shared video, immediately after the director called ‘cut’ during a kissing scene, both actors humorously pretended to retch.
The siblings-to-lovers scenario humorously aligns with Game of Thrones themes, considering Jaime and Cersei Lannister’s notorious relationship and Jon Snow’s unintentional romance with his aunt Daenerys Targaryen, portrayed by Emilia Clarke.
This doesn’t even include the niece/uncle marriage storyline in the prequel series House of the Dragon.
Fans of George RR Martin’s work couldn’t resist pointing out how this amusing moment was somewhat fitting for the Game of Thrones universe.
One fan quipped, “Finally, Jon Snow embraces his true identity as a Targaryen.”

Another commented, “I guess there’s no debate on whether Jon is Targaryen anymore.”
Referring to the infamous incest plot from Game of Thrones, another person joked, “Cersei would be proud..lol”
Some fans suggested the retching might be due to the fact that the actors had portrayed close family members for several years.
“When you’ve been siblings for 8 seasons and your brains can’t process the switch,” one user noted.
The duo has been working on a new film called The Dreadful, which is slated for release on February 20.
This movie is set in 15th century England during the tumultuous period of the Wars of the Roses.
The Wars of the Roses was a series of civil wars between the Houses of York and Lancaster, two branches of the Plantagenet dynasty, vying for control of the English throne. It culminated with King Richard III’s death at the Battle of Bosworth Field and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty under Henry VII.
Interestingly, the Wars of the Roses inspired some of the conflicts in Game of Thrones, such as the ‘War of the Five Kings’ storyline.
